John Cornyn Joins Deep State In Calling Conservatives Terrorists
Evita Duffy-Alfonso


Forever war enthusiast Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) declared Tuesday that the ouster of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House was tantamount to a “terrorist attack,” suggesting that the eight House members who voted with Democrats to remove McCarthy were, themselves, terrorists.

“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. Later, Cornyn doubled down on his remarks, writing on X, “A handful [of] House members just want to blow up the institution and themselves in the process. Sad.”

To be clear, a cut-and-dry democratic vote to remove someone from a place of power is the farthest thing from a terror attack, which involves a premeditated, violent assault that inflicts injury, death, and fear on a populace.

In likening eight Republicans to “terrorists,” Cornyn joins the left in their campaign to label virtually all conservatives — the very people Cornyn claims to represent — as dangerous domestic extremists and terrorists.

They should quit with the over the top "terrorist" or "treason" schtick.   It diminishes the actual meaning of those words and makes them sound hysterical.

Plenty of more serious, legitimate ways to state opposition to what happened.

However, I do think that this changes how the Senate will work with the House moving forward for the rest of this Congress.  This last round, Senate Republicans withdrew their backing for the Senate bill once the House passed a slightly better CR in Saturday.  That forced House and Senate Dems to go along.

But that bill expires in 45 days, and the next time around, I suspect the Senate GOP will kiss-off the House.  So we're almost certain to end up with something worse.

If this is going to be the rhetoric of the Establishment over their anointed Kevin McCarthy getting dethroned, then it tells me that Gaetz et al did the right thing.

What do you think the Dems are blackmailing him with?  Dead girl or live boy?

Let's see... Matt Gaetz is a "hero" and he is also a "terrorist"? Why is the GOP so prone to hyperbolic statements? It's like the base is a bunch of 5 year olds.
