Former Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge and long time Republican office-holder, Elsa Alcala, has finally had enough. Alcala who says she typically stays out of political discussion on social media apparently felt compelled to speak out regarding Trumph – the Insult Comic President’s latest racist rant. On Facebook, Alcala denounced Trump as
“the worst president in the history of this country.” Not holding back, the former judge indicated that Trump has an ideology of racism.
In an interview with Texas Lawyer, Alcala, who chose not to seek re-election in 2018, noted, “I have been thinking about this for years and I hoped things would get better but they never did. I did not want an ‘R’ next to my name anymore.”
Alcala also indicated that she would be voting in the Democratic primary in 2020 for the first time.
Good for her. I’ve been thinking a lot about how hard it can be to speak the truth in politics. It still happen sometimes, huh?

“Truth in politics” – pretty much an oxymoron in Red’s humble opinion. But maybe the exception proves the rule here.
