| Description | Many Tea Partiers, who waited in great anticipation to hear the results coming from the Republican caucus meeting, did not give up the fight even after hearing Rep. Joe Straus came out ahead over their preferred candidate.
The 300 or so ralliers waited in anticipation in the tunnels of the Capitol extension and the lobby of the building where the caucus met. As the representatives left the meeting, many of the ralliers chased them out and chanted for their prefered candidate, Rep. Ken Paxton.
Some of the Tea Partiers, more subtly, handed Wet Wipes to representatives leaving the building..
Their message pasted on each package: "Pontius Pilot had to wash his hands after a bad decision too. Hope you won't need this for the same reason. We are watching. True Conservative Voters of Texas for Ken Paxton."
In the Bible, Pontius Pilate, which is the correct spelling, washed his hands of the decision to crucify Jesus Christ. |
