Sen. John Cornyn’s record is receiving increased scrutiny as the Washington establishment spends tens of millions to save the embattled incumbent from a grassroots challenge by MAGA-aligned Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Cornyn and his allies spent a staggering $70 million in the primary to paint the four-term career politician as a friend of President Donald Trump with a conservative record – spending that made the Texas Republican Senate primary the most expensive primary in the nation’s history. But those Washington consultant-crafted ads hide that Cornyn has spent nearly a decade working to stop President Donald Trump and more than two decades undermining the conservative movement. From his vocal opposition to Trump’s presidential campaigns and defense of the lawfare waged against Donald Trump to his sabotaging of the America First agenda, Cornyn has consistently turned his back on Trump when it mattered most.Instead of defending Trump against efforts to bankrupt, defeat, and even imprison him, Cornyn attacked him and justified the actions of the radicals engaging in politically-motivated lawfare:about the indictment and charges against President Trump in special counsel Jack Smith’s document retention case, Cornyn forcefully chastised Trump and blamed Trump for the lawfare, stating, “He’s created a circumstance for himself, which is I think very, very serious.” He added, “This one is basically something that he’s admitted to on the material facts, and we’ll have to see what the judge and jury does… this is out of the hands of politics now. It’s up to the courts to make the decision.”to the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case by trying to undermine Trump electorally, saying,“The fact is, I do not think he could win the presidency.”Cornyn tried to stop Trump from winning the GOP nominations in 2024 and 2016 – elections when Trump was not currently in office and held little leverage over lawmakers., Cornyn said Republicans “need someone as an alternative” to Trump, he couldn’t win a general election, and that his “time had passed him by.”about calling for the GOP to move on from Trump in 2024, Cornyn defended his remarks by saying, “In politics, unless you can win an election you’re pretty much irrelevant… I have concerns about the President’s ability to win in November.”, “I think less relevant all the time. Again, even if you capture all of the Trump voters, you may be able to win a primary but you’re not necessarily going to win a general election.”, Cornyn said he was concerned Trump would be an “albatross” for down-ballot races and that “I think certainly is a controversial figure. I think we need someone who can unify the party, as opposed to divide the party. As he did for Trump, Cornyn now attacks Ken Paxton as an “albatross” who cannot win a general election., John Cornyn criticized Attorney General Paxton for leading a challenge against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin’s election results, which Paxton argued were rigged due to unconstitutional and unlawful last-minute changes. Cornyn, Cornyn stated Biden would likely be inaugurated and condemned President Trump for taking action that he said added “to the confusion and the chaos.”, Cornyn said President Trump “let his guard down,” caused “confusion,” and “got out over his skis” on the coronavirus pandemic, creating a negative national story just weeks before the election.The four-term Senator has consistently been one of Trump’s greatest critics when it comes to securing the border and building the border wall., “his idea that all you can do is build some obstacle and people won’t go come over it, or go under it, or go through it is naive.”that, “A new, giant wall between the United States and Mexico from sea to shining sea makes no sense whatsoever,” that President Trump’s border wall would rate ““I don’t think we’re just going to be able to solve border security with a physical barrier because people can come under, around it and through it.”Cornyn sided with President Joe Biden and the radical left instead of Trump to pass the largest gun control package in decades.that the bill “will go down in history as the first step in the movement to TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY,” Cornyn still led the charge to pass it., “President Biden said do something, and what we knew we had to do is something that would actually pass.” Cornyn also dismissed NRA opposition to the gun control bill,Cornyn’s long record of undermining Trump and the conservative agenda is coming into focus as the eyes of the nation look to Texas for the runoff. As Cornyn’s critics blast him for betraying Trump whenever he deems it politically advantageous, as well as betraying Texas voters on the issues they care about most – including border security and the Second Amendment – more about Cornyn’s record is likely to come to light.Trump to attend return of six US troops killed in Iran warTrump Wants SAVE America Act on Desk Before Endorsement in TX Senate Race**Livewire** Operation Epic Fury Day Seven: The Latest News From Iran and the Middle EastChina to Send ‘Special Envoy’ to Mediate Between Iran and Mideast Countries Iran BombedTexas Democrat James Talarico Begged Biden for Federal Abortion Clinics Among Other Pro-Abortion PleasMace Calls for Investigation into Noem: ‘I Don’t Think She Walks Away from This’ DC Assistant Police Chief Named in Probe of Faked Crime Stats Placed On Leave for ‘Inappropriate Texts’
