Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s divorce drama escalated as Republicans publicly slammed him over his alleged infidelity—with one going so far as to invoke a Bible verse about “harlots.”
Paxton’s wife, Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, announced she had filed for divorce “on biblical grounds” on Thursday, adding that she had done so “in light of recent discoveries.” Ken Paxton, for his part, blamed the breakup on “the pressures of countless political attacks and public scrutiny,” framing it as a mutual decision to “start a new chapter.”
“Ezekiel 16:33,” Senate Leadership Fund executive director Alex Latcham wrote on X in a post responding to a news story about Paxton’s divorce. The verse in question, depending on the translation, talks about “harlots” or “whores.”
