The Texas Republican Civil War has unsurprisingly significantly impacted the Republican primary elections this year. It’s messy, ugly, and highly entertaining for the rest of us. Republicans are out for blood and all seemingly unaware that Texas is rapidly turning blue. It’s great for us, though; the more Republicans attack each other, the more they hurt their own causes.

Representative Tony Tinderholt (R-Tarrant County) is out for blood.
Now that Bryan Slaton (R) is a stain on the GOP’s past, Tinderholt is fighting hard to become the biggest scum in the Texas House. The $100,000 he received from the neo-Nazi-aligned Defend Texas Liberty PAC has seemingly given him nerves of steel, and he’s taking it out on all of his Republican co-workers.

The first fight Tinderholt is having is with Fort Bend County Representative Jacey Jetton (R). From what I can tell, it started with some he-said/she-said stuff over an amendment (or multiple amendments) during the legislative session. And have spun out of control from there.
