New clip: Angela Paxton's ad backs "the Republican ticket" without naming Ken Paxton. It was funded by a super PAC, not his campaign (per the Texas Tribune). Jeezy: "very hypocritical and Pharisee and Sadducee-ish."

New clip: Jeezy on the Texas governor race, Texans are getting two very different versions of "I can make living here cheaper." His question for Chuck: after a decade of Greg Abbott, is this a referendum on him, or a choice between two economic visions? #PardonThePolitics #TXGov #BlackSky
