President Donald Trump criticized Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's clothing and appearance during a White House Rose Garden event Tuesday, while simultaneously praising him as the nation's best attorney general. Paxton, who is running in a tight Texas Senate race against state Rep. James Talarico, responded Thursday on Fox News, saying he loves his sports jacket and that Texas summers call for casual attire like cowboy boots and blazers. Online critics mocked the exchange, with some calling it a "hilarious non-endorsement endorsement" and others suggesting Trump was preemptively framing excuses for a potential Paxton loss in the midterm election.
