New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu said Thursday the acquittal of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton at the end of his impeachment trial last week was “completely embarrassing” because the evidence was clear against the state’s top lawyer, adding that the final decision “seemed like it was a baked-in vote before it started.”
“These things are really bad for America,” Sununu, a Republican, said during the opening keynote of the 2023 Texas Tribune Festival about the recent impeachments of Paxton, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. “In this case in Texas, it looked like, to me, it was very justified and he probably should have been found guilty, and I don’t mind saying that.”
