Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Tuesday morning that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) was “pushing Russian propaganda” by criticizing Cornyn’s support for the long-delayed Ukraine funding bill that passed the Senate overnight.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Cornyn took aim at Paxton, a close ally of former President Trump who was acquitted last year of corruption charges in a historic impeachment led by members of his own party.
Paxton is scheduled to head to trial on securities fraud charges in April in Houston, a case that began in 2015. He also remains under FBI investigation over allegations of abuse of office, according to The Associated Press.
“Ken, your criminal defense lawyers are calling to suggest you spend less time pushing Russian propaganda and more time defending longstanding felony charges against you in Houston,” Cornyn wrote on X.
He added, “as well as ongoing federal grand jury proceedings in San Antonio that will probably result in further criminal charges.”
Cornyn was responding to a post from Paxton that urged Texans to question why Cornyn “would stay up all night to defend other countries borders, but not America.”
Cornyn is one of 22 Senate Republicans who joined the majority of Democrats to pass a $95 billion emergency defense spending bill early Tuesday morning, including $60 billion in aid for Ukraine; $14 billion for Israel; $9 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza, the West Bank and Ukraine; and $4.8 billion to deter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific

Unsurprisingly, America Last RINO @JohnCornyn has once again joined hands with the Biden administration to fund and prioritize foreign wars over the national security crisis at the southern border.

Seeing that he appears be tone-deaf to the issue of illegal immigration, how is it that Cornyn is getting elected in Texas? Add that to the fact that he seems to be a bought-and-paid-for agent of the defense industry...
3, 2, 1......
Cornhole is an Assistant DemonicRat. As far as I am concerned, he is even less of an R than a RINO, if that is even possible.
I think it is silly when people think merely wanting something should make it so, when it has already been shown clearly that it will not be so.
There will not be any “border” deal out of the Senate because the Dims will never co-author a border bill that the GOP should agree to, and the GOP cannot author a border bill that the Dims will accept.
That is why the military aid bills are being offered separately.
Reps should vote for the bills if they agree to the aid, and not vote against them just because some ain’t gonna happen border bill/deal is not included.
Well I do my part by not voting for him either in the primary or the general election. I do not vote for the Democrat either.
Did he state what he is doing to fix the border? Pass HR 2. Vote Turtle’s twin out of office.
Cornyn’s gotta go.
We are certainly sorting ourselves out into true right and true left.
Ancient RINOs keep pushing us to their NWO Bohemian Grove, Klaus Schwab dreams.
Why the F are we sending a dime to Ukraine?
Why aren’t we deporting 20 million people?
Why are government employees at 3x their need?
We need to take back this country and run it for the people.
The graft and fraud of DC and many states is insane. Debt of $34T under this fraud.
Retire already, Cornyn.
Cornyn is dumb as he is corrupt.
I believe John Boy has announced that this his last term and that he is retiring.
all ‘eyes’ are on you TX. are you ever going to vote this leftist clown out?
I believe John Boy has announced that this his last term and that he is retiring.

Ah...I see....”last-termers” are ripe fruit to be picked by corporate interests.
At this point, I’d vote for Beto over Cornyn.
The Hill may as well be Media Matters.
The Bush Rule: “Attacking your base is NOT a winning strategy”.
Cornyn just went full on Crazy Liz.
The Hill may as well be Media Matters.“
This is true now, and Cornyn is a traitor.
