(Bloomberg’s opinion) – The time was that the Republican Party was a party of family values, which was troubled and encouraged by the alleged sins and moral failures of Democrats such as Bill Clinton. Even Ronald Reagan’s position as a divorce was not correct with some Republican. All those misunderstandings now look bizarre, as the Trump Yuga has re -written the playbook for acceptable behavior.
As long as you are in the right team, Republicans forgive all sins.
Now Texas Attorney General Kane Pasteton comes to test the outer boundaries of forgiveness in his fight against Senator John Cornin. Paxon’s wife, Angela Pasteton recently announced on X that she had filed for divorce on the “Bible ground”, suggesting allegations of adultery.
The National Republican Setnerial Committee spokesman Joana Rodriguez posted on the X in response to the X, “Kane Pasteton has really repaired and disgusting his family.” “Anyone should not tolerate what Angela Pasteton should not tolerate and we pray for him because he chooses to stand for herself and his family during this difficult time.”
But he was a pearl-clutch establishment, the old GOP.
Maga, filled with a different type of agel, sees it very differently. On X, which often captures the spirit of the Maga base, the declaration of Paxon was not fulfilled with sympathy, but with insults and suggestions that she was publicly making a private case so that she would soon harm the ex -husband.
While some people in the political class suggested that the revelation would change the race, Paxton seems to have the possibility of promoting the maga as the Maga strengthens their support and makes them champions as an eye in a thumb to the establishment.
John Taylor, a political science professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio, said, “He is still going to defeat Cornin by 10 points in primary. Rank and file are going to vote for paxon because he feels that the goods are a badge of respect.” “When they do this for Donald Trump, why would they not do it in hell for Ken Pasteon?”
In 2016, Trump won 81% of white births to agel voters, who was a historic part for a Republican presidential candidate. According to an analysis by the Pew Research Center, after their victory, white Americans did not identify as an instant, but “was much more likely than white trump scoptics to begin to be identified by” by 2020 or starting to identify as an engineer Protestant. ” Trump won an equal part of the white entry vote in 2020 and 2024, and he is one of his most enthusiastic supporters. Which is good news for any candidate who puts himself in Trump’s mold, sins and all.
“Those who would have cared about immortality, old guards, they have gone. Maga-style gentlemen are not regularly going to church, they are not sitting in the church’s book every Sunday and are spreading the gospel. They are only in the name,” Anthia Butler said that Anthia Butler said that Pencilia University is the chairman of the Department of Religious Studies. “The bar is still in hell, they do not care about this stuff. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven for the Group political candidates. Now the door is open to anyone.”
Consider the case of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who faced allegations of marital infidelity and misconduct, all of which denied. He wrapped himself in the language of faith, claiming “Do JS” – Jennifer, his third wife and Jesus.
Pasteon, acquitted in an impeachment test, where he faced allegations of bribery in 2023, leading Cornin in most of the elections and is an associate of Trump. Cornin has said that he will run about the character. He dropped Paxton out of $ 1 million in the last quarter.
Paxton wrapped himself in God and pointed to his enemies.
Pasteton posted on X, “After countless political attacks and public investigation, I have decided to start a new chapter in my life.
Paxton will get confidentiality, as the Texas State Court ordered that the records would be sealed in their divorce proceedings. And he will probably receive prayers. Is it not clear whether he will get the support of Trump. But he can be very candidate who does not need it. He has found something that can be better right now, as far as the maga is in relation to the genus: the audience of a fight, always on being ready with forgiveness.
