Sen. Cornyn To Allegedly Block Paxton From Being Trump's AG
Cornyn is aiming to be the next US Senate Majority Leader
Mere days after 45th and 47th President Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris, talk began over who’d be present in his Cabinet. Rumors flew about regarding almost anyone you could think of, including numerous Texans, one of whom is Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Speaking of Texas politicians, Senator John Cornyn is in the running to replace Mitch McConnell as Republican Senate Leader. In light of Tuesday’s results, whoever wins will be Senate Majority Leader. In a shocking move, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley endorsed him, leaving many perturbed.
Many in Texas grassroots politics reacted against this bid, bringing up Cornyn’s past. Among them includes the Tarrant and Dallas County GOPs who released their own statements.
How does this pertain to Paxton you might ask? Well, rumors circulated that Trump is eyeing Ken Paxton to be the US Attorney General, and Cornyn promised behind closed doors to block his confirmation.
If true however, absolutely no one should be surprised. Judging by past interactions, the two definitely have some beef. When Paxton critiqued Cornyn for throwing infinity freebies at Ukraine and other nations, the latter parroted talking points about “Russian propaganda.”
It’s not just the “muh Russia” nonsense Cornyn repeats uncritically; he’s also a fan of Godwin’s Law, suggesting those not wanting nuclear war over Ukraine, like the conservative CEO of “The Federalist” are Nazi enablers.
It won’t just be on the Paxton question where Cornyn would oppose Trump. Said senator has a track record of backing amnesty for illegal aliens, which would inevitably flip America blue forever. While he claims to advocate for border security, he partnered with Democrat Dick Durbin to amnesty DACA squatters.
Also egregious, Cornyn backed Biden’s appointing an anti-White Marxist for military leadership. If the rumors are true, he’ll back an avowed Leftist’s confirmation, but will stonewall Paxton.
Last but not least, Cornyn even backed “red flag laws” that undermine the second amendment. Cornyn was also booed heavily at the 2022 Texas GOP Convention.
Flashing back to 2016, he also regurgitated Hillary Clinton talking points about Trump supposedly being a misogynist.
On the other hand, there’s a chance Cornyn won’t achieve Senate Majority Leadership. Even heavyweights like Tucker Carlson are throwing their support behind other hopefuls, such as Florida Senator Rick Scott.
John Cornyn is a never-Trumper who will do everything he can to sabotage President Trump's agenda in the name of "bipartisanship." John (Mc)Cornyn is nothing but an angry Liberal woman. The Senate version of Liz Cheney! I believe he only helped Ted Cruz because he wanted his backing for Majority Leader. Cornyn and McConnell did diddly squat for Kari Lake in Arizona. Both Thune and Cornyn are snakes.
This is the worry of many...RINOs at the controls! Gun rights will be compromised by all 3 candidates with a common pursuit of Red Flag laws which will violate citizens deemed questionable by fiat, lacking facts. It is a power no senator should wield. Owners have to take responsibility for actions, pre-determination of willful malice is easy enough to spot if a threat exists. Training and observation of changed demeanor should be considered. The majority of owners keep and maintain to protect life, livelihood, family and community. Without them the malicious will commit horrors.
