In this Breitbart article, Texas Attorney General and U.S. Senate candidate Ken Paxton argues that Sen. John Cornyn has been in Washington too long and no longer represents the conservative voters of Texas.
- Paxton said Cornyn has “had his time” after more than 40 years in public office and argued that Texas needs “another senator” who will fight like Ted Cruz.
- He claimed that when he asks Texans to name one major accomplishment from Cornyn’s long career, audiences fall silent.
- Paxton framed Cornyn as part of the Washington establishment, tying him to Mitch McConnell and accusing him of representing “the swamp.”
- He criticized Cornyn’s record on border security, claiming Cornyn fought against President Trump’s border wall and supported amnesty.
- Paxton also attacked Cornyn over spending, deficits, Afghan refugee resettlement, and gun legislation backed during the Biden years.
- The article presents Paxton’s campaign as a populist challenge against an entrenched incumbent who, in Paxton’s telling, has lost touch with Texas conservatives.
- Paxton also addressed Democrat James Talarico, saying Texas is not ready for what he described as Talarico’s “radical” views.
- He argued that once Texans understand Talarico’s message, Republicans can defeat him decisively in the general election.
