Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was brutally mocked on Sunday after he made a strange claim during an interview on Fox News.

Paxton joined Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures," where the two discussed Paxton's primary battle against Texas state Democratic lawmaker James Talarico to replace outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in the Senate. During the interview, Paxton attempted to defend his scandal-ridden past, but onlookers heard a very different explanation from the one he thought he had offered the audience.

"What are you going to do about your own record and perception?" Bartiromo asked. "The Wall Street Journal describes you as 'scandal-plagued.'"

"Well, that was all pushed by Karl Rove," Paxton said, referring to a GOP Stalwart who has spoken out against Paxton's Senate run. "I get why they said that, but the reality is they can say the same thing about Donald Trump."

Paxton's candidacy has been plagued by his divorce from his ex-wife Angela, who claimed she was leaving the Texas Attorney General "on biblical grounds." Paxton also narrowly survived an impeachment proceeding in the Texas legislature over his efforts to provide kick-backs to a real estate developer, and allegations of cheating on his wife.

Political analysts and observers reacted to Paxton's interview on social media.

"My God, the first truthful thing I have heard from Ken Paxton!" Norman Ornstein, a political scientist and contributing editor at The Atlantic, posted on X.

"'I’m not as dirty as the president' is a weird flex," Jim Stewartson, a writer, posted on X.

"Hilarious," Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo News, posted on X.

"Talarico couldn’t have scripted this any better if he tried," Hemant Mehta, a former "Jeopardy!" champion, posted on X.

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight

Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
