SEN. JOHN CORNYN: McCarthy’s critics want to blow up the House and themselves

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) criticized those who voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) as House Speaker on Tuesday.

“A handful House members just want to blow up the institution and themselves in the process,” Cornyn said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Sad.”

Cornyn’s post quoted another post that appeared to criticize comments he he reportedly made, calling to push to get McCarthy out “disgraceful” and dubbing it a “terrorist attack.”

“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, according to a post by HuffPost reporter Igor Bobic.

McCarthy was ousted as Speaker in a 216-210 bipartisan vote Tuesday afternoon. It was the first time the House had voted to remove a sitting Speaker in its history.

No John, all we want is a Speaker more interested in what the Republican base wants, rather than what the Democrat leadership wants.

Isn’t it nice these Assistant Democrats so easily out themselves? Although anyone paying half attention already knows Cornyn is one and has been for a long time.

He feels he can even take swipes at the base.

He’s unbelievable and should be a prime candidate to be primaried

I’m just looking at his twitter/x feed and he’s not liked put it that way. I presume by many Texans in his comments.

I’m certain there is a scene in the Godfather depicting similarities to McCarthy making a deal with Pelosi and pelosi failing to bail out McCarthy...

This one is perfect, when Sal is exposed

He called other Republicans “terrorists”.

That’s what they think of us.
