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 DonaldĀ 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:
Wrong
Gonr
Yes they do !!!!
I AM A TRUMP VOTER AND I WANT A WALL!
Better get someone to run against him, then
We want a border wall.
I have heard otherwise
Trump voters DO want a wall !
Your stupid
Ain’t you stupid, I’m a Trump voter and I want a wall, with armed guards with orders to shoot after one warning. That would slow down illegals.
