A sexual predator should have spent 25 years in prison, Paxton set him free after one month.

WTF?

Talarico: I was required by law to report any indication there was abuse at home, and I would hope that the top law enforcement official in Texas would be held to the same standard as a middle school teacher. Ken Paxton had the opportunity to protect a child, but instead he protected a predator

Talarico: Ken Paxton let a pedophile back onto our streets. Adam Hoffman should have served 25 years to life in prison, but instead served less than 29 days. And that's because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein style sweetheart deal.

Many Texans would be ok with that.

Excellent, the way James Taslrico framed it.
