The Ultimate in Texas Republicans
By 
I love Texas Republicans, or at least how they almost all self-immolate at some point because they are such weirdos, freaks, rank hypocrites, traitors, gun nuts, racists, homophobes, misogynists, etc. Not that any of this would ever convince Texas voters to vote for Democrats. But at least we can enjoy the lulz. And this like peak Texas Republican.
U.S. Rep. Van Taylor, R-Plano, has decided to end his reelection campaign after he was forced into a primary runoff amid 11th-hour allegations of infidelity.
Ok, well, that’s not uncommon….
The day before the primary, the conservative outlet Breitbart News posted a story that Taylor had had a monthslong affair with a Plano woman, Tania Joya, who he had paid $5,000 to keep quiet. The publication reported that she provided it a phone screen shot purporting to be communications with Taylor and a bank record showing that she deposited $5,000 into her account. The Texas Tribune has not been able to independently verify the report.
Taylor is married with three children.
Joya is known as a former jihadist who was once married to a commander for the Islamic State. Tabloids have referred to her as “ISIS bride.”
!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine if this was a Democrat? I know focusing on hypocrisy in politics is a sucker’s game. But my god.
