Texas Senator John Cornyn might be a Republican from a deep-red state, but he doesn’t seem to know much about the average Trump supporter.
Trump was popular for several reasons: He promised to get tough on illegal immigration, he promised to restore law and order to the United States, and he promised to build the wall.
The wall, in particular, might be Donald Trump’s most popular policy. Trump certainly seemed to think so. While on the campaign trail, Trump confessed that he would circle back to “the wall” whenever his speeches lingered off-topic for too long.
But Senator Cornyn doesn’t seem to think the wall is that important. In fact, he thinks that the people of Texas — who voted overwhelmingly for Trump — don’t want a wall at all.
It’s an odd statement coming from a representative of the nation’s largest border state.
Watch him argue that Trump supporters don’t actually want a wall on the next page:
Chamber of Commerce Koch brothers buddy.
I sometimes wonder about John, could he be a democrat running under a republican ticket?
This man is a RINO who doesn’t even bother to hide it. The people of Texas deserve better. Time for Senator Cornyn to retire. What a stupid thing to say when the Dems are breathing down our necks and Cornyn knows he needs all the votes he can get in 2020. Texas supported President Trump overwhelmingly in the 2016 election. Senator Cornyn has been luke warm toward Texans choice for President and continues to be luke warm with votes and comments like this. He is definitely NOT a conservative..
I am no fan of John Cornyn but this is f**e news. I cannot find a single time where Cornyn has ever even been on Tucker’s show.
Cornyn needs to be replaced. Republicans better find another candidate who will stand up for conservatives like Cruz does. This Republican will not vote for Cornyn.
Haven’t you heard the outcry of the people?! Those are not democrats!! What is wrong with you??
What makes him think that #WE_THE_PEOPLE don’t want a wall?? IMHO, he is trying to put #HIS_BIASCES ahead of what #WE_TEXANS_NEED, and what we voted for!!!!!!!!
He is another republican fool!
What! Where has he been and who has he been talking to! It sure hasn’t been the Trump supporters! It must be those who voted for ‘Beto’! He needs to ask around or start asking the right question! I’m shocked at his words! BUILD THE WALL!
He is wrong I wont vote for him again
