SEN. JOHN CORNYN: McCarthy’s critics want to blow up the House and themselves

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.

Cornyn is a Surrender Monkey.

He calls Lil Lindsey a Conservative.

They’re simply angry because McCarthy was there doing the backdoor deals that made the House meaningless and Powerless.

Cornyn is a Gun grabber. He meets with Biden privately and then compliments him.

He’s for more Ukraine spending than Ukraine requests even.

He was against Trump. He supported all the Trillion dollar plus giveaways.

But, first and foremost, he’s a Surrender Monkey.

"He feels he can even take swipes at the base."

Nothing new for Cornyn.

He profoundly despises the base, not to mention the people of Texas that he represents.

Cruz is one who should be supported. He isn’t perfect but he’s not in any way a RINO

The next speaker will do no better than McCarthy. When will the rebel Republicans get it through their thick heads that the Dems have the Senate and Joe’s mighty pen...and we’re stuck with that until the next election.

I would think a move like this (a 1st in the USA history) would smack some sense into their heads that they are there for us, not themselves.
The whole system needs a redo, but I doubt that will happen within any of our lifetimes.

Yeah?

And then?

The Uniparty needs to be ended

Nah. We just want to flush Bushite RINO turds like Cornyn down the proverbial toilet.

Cornyn is in his last term by the way. Texans are thoroughly fed up with him. His attempt at a gun ban - a total betrayal of the voters in Texas - will not be forgotten.

Cruz - though not perfect - is one of the best Senators we have. Keep him. Get rid of:

Romney
Cornyn
Tillis
Thune
Cassidy
Murkowski
Graham
Scott
Cotton
Lankford
McConnell

ie 11 of 49 Republicans in the Senate or RINOs we need to get rid of. There may be more but these are the worst. The others would likely fall in line if we mount their heads on the wall the next time they are up to be primaried.

Chip Roy is a Bushite establishment type. He ran against Ken Paxton and got crushed.
