Trump called Cornyn “a good man” in his Truth Social post endorsing Paxton, but said the four-term Texas senator “was not supportive of me when times were tough and, despite having the Most Successful Economy in the History of our Country during my First Term and, with all of the many other things that I accomplished.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), who lobbied Trump hard for months to back Cornyn in the primary, was stone-faced when he walked out of his Capitol office and into a lunch meeting with fellow Republicans.

“It’s his decision,” Thune said somberly of the endorsement.

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) remained completely silent with his head bowed as he walked into the Tuesday lunch meeting, ignoring several reporters’ questions about the endorsement.

>Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she was “supremely disappointed” in Trump’s endorsement of Paxton over Cornyn.
>“I don’t understand it,” she said when asked about Trump’s motivation.
Lisa Murkowski shovels shit in a shit factory and pretends to wonder why she smells shit.

She's right, Ken Paxton is a convicted criminal who shouldn't be allowed in the Senate or any other public office.

given trump is a convicted criminal, it makes sense that irepublicans are the party of convicted criminals who get rewarded for their criminal behavior.
