Journalist Laura Loomer exposed that Ron DeSantis is set to embark on a fundraising tour hosted by major Bush donors in Texas. Texas billionaire Dick Weekley, who is listed as a host for the September 20th fundraiser in Houston, is a major donor to Texas Speaker Dade Phelan. Phelan recently did the Bush family’s dirty work by impeaching and attempting to remove Texas AG Ken Paxton. AG Paxton was the only state AG that made a serious effort to overturn the 2020 election at the United States Supreme Court. In 2022, Paxton beat silver-spoon George P. Bush in the Texas GOP AG primary.
Loomer shared a photo of the flyer for the September 20th DeSantis fundraiser in Houston. On the flyer, Dick Weekley is listed as a member of the host committee. Loomer captioned her photo, writing, “One of the most notable names on both invites for both @RonDeSantis’s fundraiser and Dade Phelan’s fundraiser is Texas billionaire Dick Weekley, who was one of the biggest supporters of the recent push to impeach
@KenPaxtonTX.”
Records show Dick Weekley donated $25,000 to Dade Phelan. Weekley’s organization, Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC, also donated $25,000 to Mr. Phelan.
Loomer asked the crucial question, “It’s looking like efforts to impeach Ken Paxton were coordinated by @RonDeSantis donors in a Presidential year. If you were going to try to rig an election in Texas against Trump, you would probably want to take down the pro-Trump Texas AG, wouldn’t you?”
SCOOP: @RonDeSantis will be campaigning in Texas this week with RINO TX Speaker of the House @DadePhelan where Phelan is expected to help DeSantis fundraise.

With 162 delegates at stake, Texas has the second largest number of delegates at stake in the 2024 GOP primary. DeSantis and his allies already tried to rig California, the state with the most delegates at play, to their favor. Loomer exposed McCarthy and DeSantis allies’ plans to award a massive amount of delegates to the second-place finisher in the California GOP primary. Thanks to Loomer’s reporting, Trump supporters in California forced the CA GOP to change their rules.
Trump supporters in Texas should keep their eyes open; it looks like the elite could be attempting to steal the state away from President Trump.
