RINO Crash Out Over Trump’s Paxton Endorsement Shows How Much The GOP Hates Its Voters:
Most Senate Republicans are angrier at Cornyn’s and Cassidy’s prospective ousters than their shared history of betraying GOP voters.
The Senate GOP is having a full-blown meltdown at President Trump’s decision to endorse Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate Republican primary over establishment darling John Cornyn. And it is nothing short of glorious.

Flanked by frowning members of Senate GOP leadership, Majority Leader John Thune somberly reaffirmed his support for the gun control-loving Cornyn, whom he called a “principled conservative.” Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker reportedly “remained stone-faced (appeared to be intentional) for about 20 seconds” when asked for his reaction to Trump’s endorsement of Paxton. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is reported to have thrown a temper tantrum at the president’s refusal to back Cornyn.

The Senate GOP’s little pity parade continued into the members’ Tuesday lunch over the recent ouster of Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy. The senators reportedly demonstrated their disapproval with Republican voters’ decision to give Cassidy the boot in the state’s Saturday primaries by giving him a standing ovation.

Given this visceral reaction from the Republican conference, the casual observer may get the impression that Cornyn and Cassidy — both of whom hail from solid “red states” — are conservative stalwarts who play a vital role in advancing “America First” priorities and stopping Democrat ones.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

In the decades he’s served in the Senate, Cornyn has supported gun control legislation, called conservatives “terrorists,” attacked efforts to investigate anti-Trump lawfare, signaled support for amnesty for illegal aliens, opposed a border wall, pushed a bill advancing critical race theory, and backed Biden-era spending bombs. Meanwhile, Cassidy has voted for convicting Trump during his second impeachment, gun control, massive spending bills, and gave credence to Democrat lawfare by demanding Trump drop out of the 2024 presidential race after the Biden DOJ indicted him in a case over classified documents.

All of these actions betray the fundamental interests of the Republican voters Cornyn and Cassidy were elected to represent. And yet, none of it is what’s driving the Senate GOP conference to anger.

By all accounts, many Senate Republicans are more furious at Cornyn’s and Cassidy’s prospective ousters than their shared history of stabbing GOP voters in the back. --->READ MORE HERE
