Rodney Ellis

When I when I talk to people on the ground and I've been to Houston twice, Dallas once in the last month.

I think that when I when I talk to those ministers and those leaders like Rodney Ellis, the commissioner, they say he's doing a lot better, but he's not on fire yet.

John, the rev gets to something that is there in all of your polling as well, which is that this is an anti-Paxton or an anti-Trump vote around the country, specifically when it comes to young people.

And I hope that, you know, the Democratic Party, if they have candidates who are running in 2028, they need to be looking at your polling because it's clear that young people are not particularly excited by the Democratic Party.

Okay.

So we had Rodney Ellis, who is the commissioner of Harris County.

That is, we know as Houston, which by the way, is the number one black population city in America.

It's like Chicago, Atlanta, and Washington combined.

But there's been a war on Ellis still, as you know, Trump lost the election.

So he has to claim that it was from fake mail in ballots.

So he accused Rodney Ellis, Ken Paxton and his buddies accused Rodney Ellis of forging personally forging seven hundred fifty thousand ballots.

And as Commissioner Ellis said to me, by the way, the first African-American elected to Harris County commissioner to Houston's commissioner.

That's the push, first-day voters, if we can get everybody to vote.

If we could get every Republican in Harris County to vote, Orlando Sanchez would win, and Rodney Ellis wouldn't run the county anymore.

It wouldn't be Luna Lin-- uh, uh, uh, Looney Lina anymore.

We wouldn't have sixty percent tax increases over the last eight years.

You don't get those allegations with Republicans.

You just don't.

Rodney Ellis went and picked Black women, and that's a fact.

It's been written about.

So this was a lawsuit that was filed years ago by a group of plaintiff's attorneys.

It's been reported in the news that one of the commissioners for the Harris County Commissioner's Court, Rodney Ellis, invited the attorneys to come to Harris County to sue over the bail practice.

Litigation was initiated.

The sitting judges opposed the litigation.

The Commissioner's Court was asked a couple of times to consider whether to vacate the consent decree based upon the day's ruling.

They refused to do that.

I mean, that's consistent with Rodney Ellis asking the plaintiff's attorneys to come back.

to Harris County to sue the county over the bail practices.
