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 damned wall!
Oh YES we do! Get him out Bannan!
That is the truth for sure Helen D’Antonio.
Listen Senator we do want a wall. I think we need to replace this Senator.
He’s full of c**p. We do want the wall. Don’t start lying like the dems.
I want a wall and all my friends want a wall.we voted for him to build the wall.
And what little “bluebird” whispered THAT to him?
Yes we do!
Oh yes we do!
Oh yes we do! And I’m a Texas voter and guess what! I’m not voting for you!!!
