Embattled RINO Senator John Cornyn is getting desperate. The Texas establishment Republican, facing his toughest primary challenge yet, just threw President Donald Trump under the bus by citing the 47th President's age in a pathetic attempt to deflect criticism from his own decades-long grip on power.
The controversy erupted when Rep. Wesley Hunt, a 44-year-old conservative challenger backed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, called for "next generation" leadership in the Lone Star State. Instead of defending his dismal record, Cornyn fired back by essentially calling Trump "too old" – a shocking betrayal of the man who just delivered the most decisive conservative victory in decades.
This is exactly the kind of backstabbing we've come to expect from career politicians like Cornyn, who has spent more time kissing up to the Washington establishment than fighting for Texas values. While President Trump was draining the swamp and putting America First, Cornyn was playing footsie with Democrats and undermining conservative priorities.
"I haven't heard any Republicans label President Donald Trump, 79, 'too old,'" Cornyn said, in what can only be described as a thinly-veiled attack on our Commander-in-Chief.
The audacity is breathtaking. Here's a man who has warmed a Senate seat for nearly two decades, desperately clinging to power while Trump continues to deliver historic wins for the conservative movement. Age isn't the issue – results are. And Cornyn's results speak for themselves: weak on the border, soft on the swamp, and always ready to cut deals with Democrats.
Texas Deserves Better
Wesley Hunt represents everything Cornyn fears: fresh conservative leadership that puts principles over politics. While Cornyn was crafting his latest excuse for another six years of mediocrity, Hunt has been building a grassroots movement that threatens the very foundation of Texas's political establishment.
Patriots across Texas are watching this primary closely. Will they reward another term of swamp-dwelling politics as usual, or will they choose the next generation of America First leadership? The choice couldn't be clearer.
