Establishment RINO Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) completely unraveled when conservative journalist Alison Steinberg dared to ask the one question every real America First voter is screaming: Why on earth should President Donald Trump endorse this backstabbing RINO after years of knifing him in the back?
The meltdown happened as Cornyn limps into a brutal May 26 runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the fearless MAGA warrior who actually fought the stolen 2020 election and has President Trump’s back when it counts.
Instead of answering, Cornyn attempted to gaslight the reporter, suggesting she was nothing more than a “paid influencer” for Texas Attorney General and Senate Candidate Ken Paxton.
Alison Steinberg: “What do you have to say to the Americans who are questioning why President Trump should endorse you when many say that you’ve been vehemently against his agenda?”
John Cornyn: “Do you speak for all these Americans? I don’t understand.”
Alison Steinberg: “Yeah, actually, I do. Many people are asking this question. Do you have a response? I mean, you’ve been borderline pro-amnesty, red flag laws, anti-border law.”
John Cornyn: Are you being paid by the Paxton campaign?
Alison Steinberg: “No, I’m just a concerned American citizen representing millions of other Americans.”
John Cornyn: “You’re a paid influencer because none of that’s true, and you know it.”

Cornyn’s angry reaction comes as he faces intense scrutiny from the conservative grassroots ahead of a crucial Republican runoff in Texas.
According to former Texas Senate candidate Wesley Hunt, Cornyn is “the LEAST Trump-aligned Texas Republican.”
According to the press release:
John Cornyn is tied, according to the Institute of Legislative Analysis, for being the most liberal Texas Republican in all of Congress.
For months, John Cornyn and his senior campaign staff have been boasting that Cornyn votes with President Trump “99% of the time.” That’s simply not true. In reality, John Cornyn has opposed President Trump’s agenda in nearly one-third of his votes.
Cornyn has repeatedly compromised with Democrats—pushing gun control legislation, supporting mass amnesty, and sending billions of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. Now that he’s facing primary challengers, he suddenly claims to be “MAGA.”
Yet Cornyn has the audacity to call Wesley Hunt “Fake MAGA.” With his record, that’s laughable. It shows just how disconnected Cornyn’s campaign—and the Washington establishment—are from reality. Texans see through it.
John votes with Trump 99% of the time… More like 69% of the time.
These last-ditch efforts to save John Cornyn’s zombie campaign won’t be pretty, and there is nothing they can do to save it.QUESTION: Why is John Cornyn lying about his voting record? It’s clear he is much more aligned with the radical leftists he claims to be fighting.
