Cornyn defended Trump for siphoning Pentagon budget to pay for border wall, but now claims he was against it

[BlueTex]

Cornyn seems a little desperate.

WASHINGTON – Sen. John Cornyn, trying to distance himself from President Donald Trump as Election Day looms, now says he opposed siphoning off billions from the Pentagon in order to build the border wall, a claim that directly contradicts multiple statements defending that budget maneuver.

So he was for it before he was against it. That ad should write itself.


Interesting that he felt the need to backtrack.

So shocked that republican Senators, begging for chances to love on Trump's every move for years, now cannot recall doing so. I hope every single one other than Romney gets kicked to the curb. If you voted not to have witnesses at a trial, you did not do your duty regardless of how you voted on conviction.

I would certainly enjoy a good chuckle. I do believe his seat is safe if he runs again. The other gop senators who stood around mum, I hope they all lose their seats. The gop is about to be punished for their bad behavior the past four years.

Internal polling must be really bad...

I'm John Cornyn, and I approve this lie.

Not nearly enough and its the GOP voters who put Trump and his enablers in office that deserve the punishment. They knew what this scum was like. It was clear as day long before he took that oath. I wish we could sew a scarlet/ orange 'T' on their clothes for the next decade.

Romney is no better. He is giving a president he vote to remove from office another SC appointment.

He is running now. While his seat is generally considered safe, he will win by very narrow margins. This statement is akin to Peter denying Christ (I hate analogy already): Its not a statement from heart, its a statement of convenience to save his hide.

Ah, no! Once again, operating with stuff that is in your head that is divorced from reality. The Dallas Morning News is generally considered a conservative newspaper.

Dallas Morning News - Bias and Credibility

RIGHT-CENTER BIAS These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words

Until they endorse Clinton for President in 2016, the paper had made nothing but Republican endorsements for President for 75 years. They only did so because they believed Trump was unfit for office, not because they liked Clinton policies. In fact, they accused Trump of being a RINO.

Dallas Morning News endorses Clinton for president

"In this race, at this time, she deserves your vote," the editorial board wrote.

This year, the DMN refused to endorse anyone:

Why not pay attention to things that are written rather than just dismissing everything with which you don't agree? Intelligent people can take it all in. Less intelligent people, not so much.

Since the OPer is trying to sell subscriptions to the DMN and you can't read the link otherwise, what is your point?

The bleeding has begun...soon they will say they never liked Trump, didn't know him, etc.

The DMN is fairly conservative, if you want to assign a bias to it. They are a local city newspaper...they report the news.

Force, Joko? He's trying to force us?
Is hyperbole the default setting in Trumpistan?

That's not the vote that matters to me as I said above. He's wrong but it is within the scope of my imagination that republicans can see this in partisan terms. Its the vote on allowing or disallowing witnesses in the impeachment trial, that separates a senator that cares about his oath as a senator, from a senator who cares ONLY about partisan concerns.

Cornyn was right there in 2017 helping to craft the GOP "health plan" (Better Care Reconciliation Act) in a secret location in the Russell Senate Office Building.

This GOP plan would have done away with protecting pre-existing conditions and removed healthcare insurance from 24 million Americans.

Oh this one is just as easy as with Tillis, did he vote for or against the Act to remove Trump's declaration of immigrants crossing the border as a national emergency? If he voted against it, as Tillis did, then he is a weasel. The only reason that Act was going through was to stop the funding. If he didn't approve of it, he would have voted to remove the national emergency status.

Every elected Republican is a Tweety loyalist, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know why, SCOTUS said it was okay to do.

Joko serves a valuable role as RW comic relief. When you understand that, he makes perfect sense.

I have to give credit to those republicans who are voting for Biden because they care more about integrity, honesty, and dignity than they do their party.
