John Cornyn Publicly Mocks Popular Texas Tea Party Leader

Last night Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn took to Twiiter to attack former Texas House candidate and popular Tea Party activist Katrina Pierson.

"That tweet was completely unprovoked," Pierson told Breitbart Texas. "With all the tweets Cornyn gets, why would he respond to that one? He was digging at me personally."

It is unclear if the tweet was written by a staffer or by Cornyn himself, but according to Pierson, Cornyn said in the past that he controls his own account. "We all know that John Cornyn runs his own Twitter account," Pierson said. "He tells people, 'Just contact me, I run my own Twitter.'"

Dallas-based radio talk show host Mark Davis tweeted claimed that he received "confirmation" that it was Cornyn, not a staffer, who wrote the message.

Now that primary is over, Cornyn reveals his true self to all.

I will not hold my nose this fall and vote for this man to occupy our Senate seat.

I am not happy with Ted Cruz being neutral in the fight against someone like Cornyn as there are few values between the two that are shared.

If I was in Texas or Kentucky, I’d probably vote third party in November. Enough of these self-absorbed cancers. If this is a wave election as promised, we’ll make up for one or two losses, and cleaning house is more evident than ever.

KeshaRogers2014:

-John Cornyn is caught using the same faulty logic as #obamasupporters. Did he learn it from them, or did they learn it from him?

-My campaign for U.S. Senate is leading the charge to dump Obama and put America back in the hands of a patriotic leadership that will rise above the corruption of the party system, and set us on a course for economic recovery that will create a future of scientific progress.

-The choice is clear, I have a policy for the future development of our nation, and my opponent has a rags to riches story that ignores the bankruptcy of the nation and what we can do about it.

it is typical and makes sense that an incumbent Senator or eve Rep would NOT get in the middle of a party primary.
It makes sense because the inbumbent has to work with whoever gets elected.
The ads showing Cruz complimenting Paxton are unusual.
Cruz is btw a big Katrina Pierson fane

Cornyn is actually more pro amnesty than Pete Sessions.

Katrina may have forced Cornyn into a runoff.

Pete Sessions has to worry about the 2016 House primary getting in the way of him feeding at the trough.

I think Cruz staying neutral sent a strong message, given just pathetic Cornyn’s opponent was, in the Primary.
