Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) criticized those who voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as House Speaker on Tuesday.
“A handful House members just want to blow up the institution and themselves in the process,” Cornyn said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Sad.”
Cornyn’s post quoted another post that appeared to criticize comments he he reportedly made, calling to push to get McCarthy out “disgraceful” and dubbing it a “terrorist attack.”
“We saw a similar thing happen to Boehner, Ryan, and now McCarthy. I’m sure the next speaker is going to be subjected to the same terrorist attacks,” Cornyn said, according to a post by HuffPost reporter Igor Bobic.
McCarthy was ousted as Speaker in a 216-210 bipartisan vote Tuesday afternoon. It was the first time the House had voted to remove a sitting Speaker in its history.

rino deep stater sez what?
He’s not denying it either. He said it to the Huff Post.
Who the hell speaks to that outlet? Nobody
too bad. cornho had a good tea party candidate (whom the gope of course savaged mercilessly) running against him last time.
sadly, Trump threw his support to the gop establishment guy, cornho. that pretty much finished our guy.
Cornyn is the silverback RINO of the Senate.
Paxton would definitely have a good shot at beating this fool next time and sounds interested.
We should support him
Still waiting for his posts on Texas being under attack. Waiting.
“We saw a similar thing happen to Boehner, Ryan, and now McCarthy.
Gingrich, basically ousted.They each lost enough support as to lose their speakership.
Bob Alexander, [nominated, but ousted before confirmation, IIRC].
Hastert, ousted.
Boehner, ousted.
Ryan, basically ousted.
McCarthy, ousted.
Chip Roy has been doing a good job, I think.
He does post/talk about the border but it’s just lip service believe me.
Has he actually done anything in all the years he’s been there?
Speaking to HuffPo at all is reason enough to primary him. But calling fellow Republicans terrorists should be grounds for expulsion from the Senate.
If McConnell had any guts he would strip this idiot of all committee seats he farts in.
L
Paxton is not too shabby. i’ll tell my cali transplants in TX to watch for it.
Bob Livingston?
He’s very close to McConnell and has his blessing when he comes out with stuff like this.
It’s down to Freepers and Texans to do the legwork on this and unseat him.
We have a lot of time to prepare
Just need to convince Ken Paxton to go for it.
Isn’t it nice these Assistant Democrats so easily out themselves? Although anyone paying half attention already knows Cornyn is one and has been for a long time.
Bob Livingston?
The GOPe hates its voters. God forbid he take a moment of self-reflection and consider the possibility that his constituents are unhappy with the party’s direction.
McConnell agrees with him.
#DraftKenPaxton
He’s thinking about it......and now may I tell Cornhead to skewruuu himself? I haven’t voted for him since Spot was a pup and I sure want that RINO gone!!!!!.......GO Paxton
Why should I care what the junior Senator for D.C. says ?
Of what use is a Republican House? These people are insane.
