    In a follow-up video, Louise said she doesn’t blame the Republican Party for the embarrassing incident. “[They] have loved me, and they have welcomed me with open arms. But Ken Paxton’s campaign manager, that person is 100 percent responsible for the disrespect that I received this evening.”

    Yes! Cognitive dissonance avoided! Good thinking, Louise!
