Texas Republican Convention calls Biden win illegitimate and rebukes Cornyn over gun talks

People stood up and booed U.S. Sen. John Cornyn as he spoke about potential gun legislation during the Republican Party of Texas 2022 convention in Houston on Friday. Credit: Justin Rex for The Texas Tribune

Meeting at their first in-person convention since 2018, Texas Republicans on Saturday acted on a raft of resolutions and proposed platform changes to move their party even further to the right. They approved measures declaring that President Joe Biden “was not legitimately elected” and rebuking Sen. John Cornyn for taking part in bipartisan gun talks. They also voted on a platform that declares homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice” and calls for Texas schoolchildren “to learn about the humanity of the preborn child.”

The actions capped a convention that highlighted how adamantly opposed the party’s most active and vocal members are to compromising with Democrats or moderating on social positions, even as the state has grown more diverse and Republicans’ margins in statewide elections have shrunk slightly in recent years.

Not a bad article, until the author claimed Trumps claims of voter fraud were unfounded. How can any major media scab ever be believed again. I am hoping all the media took took the jab. I may have to move to Texas!

I called the traitor Portmans office this week to give them my thoughts on little Robs treachery . Some dumb kid started reading the democrat talking points and I stopped him and asked him what does shall not be infringed mean to you ? He stuttered and gave me enough time to hang up . Rob Portman is leading the financing of the Ukraine war and will no doubt have a sweet job waiting for him when he retires soon .

I too live in Ohio and quite disgusted with the traitorous Portman (the Ohio version of Romney). He’s sided more and more with Communist so one can venture he’s been a frequent flier to Epstein Island. While the Nation dealt with cheating Demomarxist dropping off ballots at 2am, we Ohioans deal with the Morbid Lobby where dead voters can often outvote the living 2 or 3 to 1 in Cleveland, Dayton,Columbus and Cincinnati. I didn’t mention Toledo…they just cheat.

In Texas I have watched Texas RINO open border, clot shot pushing gun-grabbing zionist Senator John Cornyn betray conservative Christian Texans and Americans over and over. He pretends to be a second amendment supporting conservative, but in fact, he is a globalist who despises the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights and he especially dislikes gun owners and people who want to secure the southern border. The corrupt NRA gives RINO Senator Cornyn an A+ rating, but this is a sham rating, as the NRA has been endorsing Red Flag gun confiscation laws for decades. Remember the NRA endorsed democrat Senator Harry Reid. You notice Gun Owners of America, Texas Gun Rights Organization and The National Association of Gun Rights do not endorse Texas RINO Senator John Cornyn. The Texas legislature needs to remove Senator Cornyn as a Texas Senator. Who is John Galt? TEXIT!
