Updated: After blocking legislation in the Texas Senate to address altered images in campaigns, Patrick rails against altered image in a Texas Senate campaign

Patrick said the attack against the Patriot Mobile exec he supports for Senate in Tarrant County is “satanic”; retiring Speaker Phelan points out that he offered legislation this year to require a disclosure to let voters know an image used in a campaign is fake

Editor’s note: Lt. Gov. Patrick’s online rant placing blame for the image at the feet of candidate John Huffman appears to be misleading. That changes the story a bit, so this article has been updated throughout – SB

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Monday railed against what he called the "despicable and disgraceful" altering of an image of his preferred candidate to succeed former Sen. Kelly Hancock in North Texas – the kind of manipulation that could have been addressed by legislation he killed in the Texas Senate earlier this year. A bill to crack down on those fake images was carried in the Texas House by former Speaker Dade Phelan, who Patrick hates.

The image of Leigh Wambsganss, who’s endorsed by Patrick running in Senate District 9, was apparently changed to invert the crucifix she wears on her necklace. At least that was the accusation from Patrick ,who also blamed GOP candidate John Huffman for the image even though it appears to have been promoted by a third-party group.

Nevertheless, Patrick went so far as to say “this attack by her opponent, John Huffman, is satanic.”
