John Cornyn was one of the RINO Republican Senators who voted with Democrats to fund Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan this morning in the $95 billion dollar aid package. This foreign aid-only bill was the stripped down version of the “border bill” which failed last week. Meaning the Senate completely gave up on working on the border crisis and 21 Republicans were totally okay with it, like John Cornyn.
After the vote Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called him out for caring more about foreign borders than our own open southern border:
“This is a question all Texans should be asking. Unbelievable that @JohnCornyn would stay up all night to defend other countries borders, but not America.”

Cornyn didn’t take kind to the criticism and fired back at Paxton, accusing him of pushing Russian propaganda:
“Ken, your criminal defense lawyers are calling to suggest you spend less time pushing Russian propaganda and more time defending longstanding felony charges against you in Houston, as well as ongoing federal grand jury proceedings in San Antonio that will probably result in further criminal charges.”

That did not go over well with people on Twitter, who quickly roasted him for such a terrible response:
I don't understand this response. You're attacking the AG personally when he seems to be calling out how you voted. Simple question, did you send 10s of billions (some are reporting close to 100B) more to Ukraine while our country is being crushed by the flow of illegal aliens?

How about you do your job @JohnCornyn and put American citizens first, not Ukrainians or illegal aliens. It’s time we start investigating how many of these politicians are bought off by the cartels, both Democrats, and RINOs! God bless @KenPaxtonTX

It's now "Russian propaganda" to care more about the invasion at America's border than Ukraine's.
The fact that this useful idiot is the second most powerful Republican in the Senate is a joke. https://t.co/quCj126Ce3

Texas Senator — TEXAS!! — Cornyn says if you care about securing the US border, you’re a Russian. These people HATE America and its citizens. And they’re shockingly stupid. https://t.co/jTxQM1a39Q

I’m now considering re-registering to vote in Texas as a Texas resident simply devoted against this aching useless sack of garbage. https://t.co/w5kRA6xIxr
