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 DAMN WALL!!
I disagree. I live in the valley, just 30 miles from the border and all the people I have spoken with are in favor of the wall. They believe it will make our border towns safer.
Your wrong John
WE WANT THE WALL….
YES WE DO , YES WE DO , BUILD THAT WALL
Yes we do want a wall. Try paying attention.
How can he speak for us? Too bad I can’t vote against him
He does not speak for the American people. He is out of touch
Trump voters want a serious wall!!!!
Wrong
