Ken Paxton called on his supporters to rally outside the Capitol during his impeachment proceedings in the House. Despite this call to action, few supporters came.
Saturday afternoon, there was nothing unusual on the Capitol Grounds. There were small groups of people both for and against Paxton. More people were in the House gallery, but everything stayed calm.
"He's a big President Trump supporter, and we're here to support him and stop this impeachment process that's going on," one Paxton supporter, who didn't want to give his name, said."They're false," the man said. "He's been reelected twice since these allegations were put out. They were put out in 2015," a Paxton supporter who didn't want to give her name said.In a historic vote, the Texas House of Representatives voted 121-23 to impeach Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Right across from that group, there was a small group of people against Paxton, pushing for impeachment because of the allegations.Supporters of Paxton say it would hurt if he is impeached. "He's a super guy, and every single day he gets up and files a suit for us on freedom of speech, freedom of guns, every single day he's filing suit on the people in Washington who are trying to take our rights away," one said."I was tired of hearing about all the things that Ken Paxton has done to trample my rights," Tozser said."Republicans of conscience will do the right thing," one man said, pointing to his "IMPEACH" sign.

Texas AG Ken Paxton invites supporters to rally at state Capitol to protest vote to impeachTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday urged his supporters to protest at the state Capitol when Republicans in the House of Representatives take up historic impeachment proceedings that threaten to oust him. The House has set a Saturday vote to consider impeaching Paxton and suspending him from office over allegations of bribery, unfitness for office and abuse of public trust — just some of the accusations that have trailed him for most of his three terms. Paxton, a 60-year-old Republican, decried the impeachment proceedings as “political theater” that will “inflict lasting damage on the Texas House,” adding to his earlier claims that it's an effort to disenfranchise the voters who returned him to office in November.
