Sen. John Cornyn Attacks Criticism of ‘Civics’ Bill as ‘Russian’ Disinformation

Joel B. Pollak 21 Jun 2022

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has attacked criticism of his new civics bill by comparing it to a “Russian” disinformation campaign — all for pointing out that the legislation is vulnerable to Democrats’ efforts to impose Critical Race Theory.

Cornyn’s outburst appeared on Twitter on Sunday, in response to an article by respected conservative author Stanley Kurtz:

[LMAO]

The charge of “Russian disinformation” is quickly becoming as ineffective screaming racist

Cornyn has apparently switched sides in Congress without having the honor to tell anyone about it beforehand.

I have always considered Corn-in a RINO, but he has suddenly gotten McStain level radical about it.

I think he has become compromised.  Maybe some kind of John Roberts type of blackmailing?

He is an utter failure as a Texan.  Even old Ralph Yarborough did not stoop so low as this traitor.

After Blowback, John Cornyn Claims He Was Joking About Immigration Deal: ‘No Secret Amnesty Bill’

After facing swift and intense backlash from conservatives and Republican lawmakers, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) claimed that he was joking about striking a deal on amnesty after negotiating a deal on gun control.

As the Senate voted to advance gun legislation on Tuesday night, which arose from Cornyn’s negotiations with Democrats, Cornyn told Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA), “First guns, now it’s immigration.”
In response to Cornyn’s comment, Sinema said, “That’s right, we’re going to do it.”

The comment drew swift backlash from former Trump administration officials such as Andrew Surabian, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA), and House Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman Jim Banks (IN).

“From selling out on gun control to selling out on amnesty in light speed,” Surabian said.

McCarthy said amnesty was not on the table.

“Amnesty is a non starter with me and won’t be taken up by a House Republican majority,” the Republican leader told Axios. “Our border crisis is the worst in history and the only immigration plan should be to secure the border and stop illegal immigration that’s fueling the worst drug crisis in history. House Republicans will fight for this with everything we have.”

“.@GOPleader already pledged NO AMNESTY. Republicans in the House are united and so are our voters!”

After the backlash, Cornyn claimed that he was merely joking and that no immigration talks are expected to occur.

I think someone said Cornyn wanted McConnell's job, It looks like he found out that one McConnell is already one too many and nobody wants two.
