Answer
Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General, gave a speech at a rally before the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. His address echoed many of the false claims and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that had been promoted by then-President Donald Trump and his allies. Paxton's rhetoric may have helped to incite the violence that unfolded later that day.
