Flores asked the duo for their thoughts on the two men on the ballot in Tuesday's Republican primary runoff to see who would face Democratic candidate James Talarico in November.
You can see a clip from the interview here:
Michael Stefan responded to Flores' question saying:
"Well, it’s not a great choice, either one really. But I think I lean towards Paxton, for sure. He’s local. Cornyn hasn’t always been with the Republicans the way I would like. But it was a tough choice. But I did vote for Paxton on the runoff."
After Michael's comments, Flores asked Gayla:
"What are your thoughts about Paxton?"
Gayla was pretty blunt in her assessment, saying of Paxton:
"A crook. Yeah, that’s it, period. He’s just a crook."
Michael smiled and remarked:
"That's an independent talking."
Paxton, who has faced multiple personal and professional scandals while in office, was endorsed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump the week before.
Before becoming Attorney General, Paxton was indicted for felony securities fraud for misleading investors. The charges were dropped in 2024 after Paxton completed a pretrial diversion program that required him to complete 100 hours of community service, take ethics training, and pay approximately $271,000 in restitution to his victims.
Once in office, like Trump, Paxton was impeached by the COP-controlled Texas House of Representatives, but acquitted by the state Senate, after whistleblowers on Paxton's staff accused him of bribery and misusing his office to benefit a political donor who allegedly funded home renovations and provided a job for a woman Paxton was having an extramarital affair with.
Paxton was able to keep his job, but not his marriage. His wife of 38 years, Texas state Senator Angela Paxton, filed for divorce on "biblical grounds," accusing him of adultery.

People found Gayla Stefan's independent thoughts on Paxton accurate.

On Tuesday, Republican voters in Texas decided Attorney General Ken Paxton is the crook for them.
Paxton is projected to have defeated Senator Cornyn with 64% of the Texas GOP vote.
Paxton will next face Democratic candidate James Talarico in the November midterms to see who will take over Cornyn's seat in the United States Senate.
Pratt has received backing from a number of Republicans, including President Donald Trump, and has reportedly raised more than ten times as much campaign money as Bass. Although the mayoral race is officially nonpartisan, Pratt is a registered Republican, though he has sought to minimize attention on his party affiliation.
Pratt's own sister, fellow television personality Stephanie Pratt, has called him "unqualified and inexperienced," insisting to prospective voters that Pratt is "just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir."
Now Carey has jumped in, criticizing Pratt in a post on Threads in which he wrote:
"Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their ass. I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. F**k this guy already."
You can see his post below.

Others concurred.
With the June 2 mayoral primary approaching, TMZ reported that Pratt is staying at the luxurious Hotel Bel-Air rather than a trailer on his burned Pacific Palisades property, as he had claimed. He has also “inked a deal” for a reality series following both his campaign and a possible term in office.
According to the report, Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, were partnering with Boardwalk Pictures, with production supposedly set to follow the couple and their children throughout the political campaign. Though a spokesperson for Pratt denied this, The Hollywood Reporter "learned that Boardwalk Pictures has already approached potential directors about the planned show."
In a post captioned "PERFECT BILL OF HEALTH," the White House included a graphic of Trump that was overlayed with his Truth Social post announcing:
"Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff! Heading back to the White House."
You can see the post and the graphic below.

That doesn't make any sense given all the criticism Trump continues to face for obvious signs of age-related decline.
Last year, rumors swirled that Trump was on his deathbed after he wasn't seen for several days and the White House cancelled his public appearances, a development that fueled speculation in large part because of Trump's recent health problems, which include a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and sightings of a harsh bruise on his hand.
However, both hands have since been photographed sporting noticeable bruises. Earlier this month, Trump had people talking after both of his hands were shown covered in heavy makeup during an event to honor military mothers.
Although presidents typically provide public health updates after routine screenings, the level of detail disclosed varies by administration. Under Trump’s second term, those medical updates have become increasingly brief and less detailed.
Following Trump's first physical of his current term in April 2025, the White House published an extensive medical summary that included Trump’s height, weight, blood test results and a list of medications he was taking.
By July 2025, however, the level of detail had narrowed: after Trump was evaluated for swelling in his legs, the physician’s memo disclosed a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency and outlined the tests performed, but did not include the underlying results. The October 2025 update was even less specific, omitting details about the advanced imaging scans and laboratory tests the president reportedly underwent.
Notably, some physicians have noted that advanced imaging would not typically be part of a routine physical for someone showing no symptoms of a possible heart condition.
We haven't even touched on Trump's cognitive fitness, but considering he continues to make erratic (and ironic) statements about presidential candidates needing cognitive exams, it's clear these criticisms bother him.
The White House was swiftly called out.
Regardless of what the White House says, Americans are not buying it.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement that Trump "is the sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises, and he remains in excellent health."
However, an April poll conducted by The Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos found that fewer than half of American adults believed Trump possessed the mental acuity or physical fitness needed to serve effectively as president.
After reposting the announcement on TikTok, however, the comments quickly filled with criticism. While some users took aim at nepotism in Hollywood, others targeted Scorsese's appearance directly, leading her to address the backlash in a candid video.
Last Saturday, the 26-year-old posted:
“Hey, so I have to say that on my most recent repost about this new amazing role that I just got, it has some of the worst comments I have ever seen about me…”
Created by Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane, Mr. & Mrs. Smith follows two strangers who leave their old lives behind to work for a mysterious spy agency while posing as a married couple.
Francesca explained that although she has received hate "for years," the reaction to this announcement felt different:
"And majority is always picking on looks or another nepo baby. I understand. I know I have doors opened for me. I’m still trying to do the work, I’m still going hard and being passionate and creating and doing the work. But I think if you go on people’s videos and you seek out negativity, you are a very, very sad person."
Francesca began her career with small appearances in her father's films, including The Aviator, The Departed, and Hugo. She later gained wider recognition for her role as Britney Orton in HBO's We Are Who We Are and has continued to build her acting career across film and television.
Recalling some of the insults directed at her, Francesca said:
"Comparing me to a fridge or Miss Piggy or saying I have a face for radio and that I’m incredibly ugly and fat…I get it. I’m not the most beautiful girl in the world. I’m not the skinniest girl in the world. I’m chubby, I know it. But, like, what the f**k does it matter?"
Speaking to her 445,000 TikTok followers, she emphasized the potential consequences of online harassment.
Focusing on the impact of online bullying, Francesca said:
"There's so many trolls and so many bots and people that just go on to just try to ruin somebody's day or make somebody feel like s—. This is the kind of thing that causes people to lose their lives ... Your words have power behind them."
She also acknowledged the challenges of building a career while being associated with one of Hollywood's most celebrated filmmakers.
Opening up about living in her father's shadow, Francesca said:
"I'm fine. I'm strong. I've dealt with it for years and years and f**king years. I know I have a huge ... figure, my father, to live up to, and that always overshadows me as a person."
She concluded by urging her followers to make TikTok a "better place," and the comments on her video clearly reflect her community's appreciation for her message.
You can view the TikTok here:
The response in the comments was overwhelmingly supportive, with many viewers praising Scorsese for speaking openly about online harassment and condemning the remarks that prompted the video.
Here's how viewers responded to Scorsese's message:

One day later, Scorsese returned to the comments section to thank followers for their encouragement.
"There are so many lovely comments on here and I can’t respond to you all but I am taken aback by the love and support and I just want to say I love and appreciate all of you. Thank you 🥹💗"
Scorsese has also pursued directing. She made her directorial debut with the short films Crimson Ties and Fish Out of Water, with the latter screening at the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner and premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. She has also worked as a creative director for Chanel and recently directed the Season 2 finale of Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints.
Regardless of where her career takes her next, her recent TikTok message was clear: words carry weight, and the culture of online harassment can have serious consequences for the people on the receiving end.
