A senior staff member for Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) reelection campaign has a history of raging against Breitbart News and President Donald Trump while aligning with radical leftists.

Matt Mackowiak, who serves as the communications director for Cornyn’s campaign, once demanded advertisers drop Breitbart News and said the outlet should be “defrocked” from the conservative movement, tweets unearthed by The National Pulse reveal.

“It’s time to defrock Breitbart from the conservative movement. Treat them like Infowars. Pressure their advertisers. Ignore them,” Mackowiak wrote in a post to X in 2016.

Cornyn, Double Bag BARF!

Trump has not yet endosed Cornyn or Paxton.

Trump said he would not endorse anyone who did not sign the the SAVE America Act.

He will probably endorse the Republican candidate, whoever that is.

In the past 72 hours we have learned that John Cornyn defended the following people and things:

- James Comey
- Jack Smith
- Robert Mueller
- Alvin Bragg
- The Russia Hoax
- The weaponization against Trump
- The attacks on J6 protesters
- Illegal alien criminals
- Gun Control

“Trump said he would not endorse anyone who did not sign the SAVE America Act”

So is this how Trump intends to get cover for endorsing Cornyn? Cornyn will be a yes and he will be a yes for killing the fake filibuster because he knows neither have the votes to pass. It is cynical and typical of that rino snake.

No, it is Cornyn that is a perfect example of what’s been wrong for this country for decades. RINOs ← ← ← sickening.

I demand that Cornyn and his blow buddy Karl Rove and the ‘Bush Machine’ be defrocked and thrown in the trash bin of history.

He looks like Kent “Flounder” Dorfman, but not as smart.

Cornyn’s Liberty Score is a solid “F”.

No expert at 4D chess should be THAT easily fooled.

Cute, stuff your TDS. It would not be The President getting fooled. I said “cover” for a reason. Trump will need it because he knows the base despises Cornyn but the GOPe runs the Senate so that leaves this situation.
