Sen. Cornyn spearheaded the effort with Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Houston), the bill’s sponsor in the U.S. House.

Juneteenth, the celebration of freedom that started in Texas, is now being celebrated across the nation.

Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) was instrumental in pushing the holiday from the Lone Star State all the way to the President’s desk.

“It’s a good day,” said Sen. Cornyn on Friday.

It is virtue signaling. Government employees receive an additional day off with the same pay which is equivalent to a pay raise per number of days worked. The rest off use will have to pay for.

For certain people Juneteenth Day was a big celebration in our city. Father’s Day not so much.

Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza
Jun 19
Democrats prefer #juneteenthday to the real occasion on which slavery was abolished—the date the 13th Amendment was passed permanently ending American slavery. This is an awkward day for Democrats because the vast majority of them—even in the North—opposed the 13th

So “Republican” Cornyn now thinks “independence day” was in 1865?

Will he also tell us that the Philadelphia Convention was a show, and that really there were Hidden Figures in the back, Africans who actually wrote a different Constitution, the one that he goes by?

...yet again answering the question, why won’t John Cornyn ever get another vote from this Texas conservative.

Sen. Cornyn is a Quisling whose only contribution to saving the Republican is denying the Leftist/Democrat/Enemy a filibuster proof majority.

The “holiday” is another trash day. The DNC hijacked another day with GOP help.

What he is telling you is that he along with the rest of the traitors in Congress hate the the Godly Principals this Nation was founded upon and wish to tear it down as soon as possible. And the voters will do their part by returning each of the bastards whish to be returned to Congress. America, as it used to be known is done. It was replaced in 2021 with a bunch of fools who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground. And it [America] will not last in the ensuing confusion.

That was the only reason I voted for him last November and we lost the senate anyway. With 20/20 hindsight, I might have voted for the rat candidate just to get rid of him.

I figured Cornholio out back in 2012. I have not voted for him since. Either in the Primaries or in the General elections.

He’s a lot like Pierre Defecto with less guts and balls.

Note that the ACTUAL name of the holiday is called “Juneteenth National Independence Day.” NOT “Emancipation day,” NOT “Freedom Day,” but “National Independence Day.” Folks, we have only ONE “National Independence Day,” and that is July 4. Note that many communities around the country have planned celebrations around June 19th (the fact we gotta use Ebonics to name a holiday is annoying enough), but an obviously blatant intentional campaign to subvert the July the 4th as our national holiday is part of the Deep State initiative to destroy America, ultimately leading to the elimination of all American patriots in ways I won’t mention on Free Republic.

Cornyn = pandering jacka@@.

And he throws away conservative goodwill points for yet another completely made up holiday, like Kwanzaa. If no one ever heard of the extremely important holiday “Juneteenth”, I guarantee you life would go on as usual. But, to throw a bone to BLM, Cornyn the Fool votes with the dumbest woman in the House (and she has some stiff competition there!), Sheila Jackson Lee. You are known by the company you keep, you jerk.
