Texas Senator John Cornyn might be a Republican from a deep-red state, but he doesn’t seem to know much about the average Trump supporter.
Trump was popular for several reasons: He promised to get tough on illegal immigration, he promised to restore law and order to the United States, and he promised to build the wall.
The wall, in particular, might be Donald Trump’s most popular policy. Trump certainly seemed to think so. While on the campaign trail, Trump confessed that he would circle back to “the wall” whenever his speeches lingered off-topic for too long.
But Senator Cornyn doesn’t seem to think the wall is that important. In fact, he thinks that the people of Texas — who voted overwhelmingly for Trump — don’t want a wall at all.
It’s an odd statement coming from a representative of the nation’s largest border state.
Watch him argue that Trump supporters don’t actually want a wall on the next page:
Build the wall
Liar Cornyn
yes we do moron
Yes, indeed!
Oh yes we do!!!!!!
Yes! Yes we do!
Me to, most want the wall.
That was my primary reason for voting in Trump. Build the wall and enforce the immigration laws that are already on the books. For Cornyn to actually say this seems disingenuous because *he knows better*.
Say what? Who did you ask? Off course we need a wall to stop all illegal immigration. Why would the liberals and Mexico be so vehemently opposed to the wall if it wasn’t going to work? Dah!
Sounds like he doesn’t know what the people want.
