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.

Hearing those three names together is the first thing I’ve heard that really makes me support getting rid of him. I’ve been concerned about infighting but I’m also tired of the Boehner and Ryan types that are all talk and no walk.
Cornyn is a prime example to enact term limits.
Cornyn is a sorry POS. Ken Paxton may run against him. If he does, he will win.
