Thelma Louise, a Black conservative TikTok creator with more than 200,000 followers, says she was escorted from Ken Paxton’s early-voting rally in San Antonio after driving two hours to attend. In videos, she said she was told Paxton’s campaign manager wanted her to leave, though she did not know why and maintained she had done nothing wrong. Louise cited her past support for Republicans, including volunteering for President Donald Trump’s campaign, and said the incident left her feeling disrespected. Paxton’s campaign had not publicly explained her removal in the reports provided; online speculation about the reason was unsubstantiated.
Where do you stand?
What each side asserts, disputes — or leaves out entirely.
Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Paxton's people should clarify what happened instead of leaving everyone guessing about the removal.
Campaigns can set their own rules but ignoring a 200k follower who backs your side makes no sense.
It seems odd to remove a longtime supporter like her with no explanation given at all.
