Lamar County GOP says U.S. Sen. Cornyn has shown a “lack of fidelity” to the party’s principles.A resolution demanding the resignation of U.S. Sen. John Cornyn was passed this week by the executive committee of a northeast Texas county’s Republican Party.
The Lamar County Republican Party executive committee’s resolution demands Cornyn resign based on his “lack of fidelity to our founding principles, our national and state constitutions, and the Republican Party of Texas.”
In a Friday morning interview with radio show host and Newsmax TV personality Chris Salcedo, Lamar County Republican Party chairman Scott Hommel discussed the resolution and his frustration with the senior U.S. senator for Texas.
“We decided to do this because he’s literally not following the Republican Party of Texas platform based on his voting record,” Hommel explained. “And when he voted for the omnibus bill, that was what put me over the edge to go ahead and make this resolution. … We need to fire him!”
Salcedo agreed, calling Cornyn an “enemy of Texas” for supporting the $1.7 trillion bill, which allocated nearly $45 billion in aid to Ukraine and millions to secure the border of several Middle Eastern countries while prohibiting the construction of a wall on our own nation’s southern border.
“That’s the act of a traitor, in my opinion,” Hommel concurred.
