Cornyn has a lot of money. Anyone notice all the ads everywhere?

Zero Paxton ads.

Per the ads, He is Trump’s guy for Texas.

A lot of Democrats will vote for Cornyn in the primary.

Cornyn as the Texas Attorney General was a waste of oxygen trying to get a decision on anything.

I don't like Paxton's values. Cornyn may not be perfect, but in a competition between Cornyn and Paxton I'll take Cornyn.
If Paxton wins the runoff I'll vote for the Democrat.
I wouldn't vote for Paxton is there were wild canines at the door and he was running unopposed for Dogcatcher!

Cornyn is a wealthy, senior, card-carrying member of the Good Ol' Boy Network. Paxton is a junkyard dog.

Scott Presler has been on X (Twitter) every day since January 1st demanding Senate Majority Leader John Thune pass the Save Act. He has repeatedly stated he will campaign against the incumbents Thune and the GOP are supporting, including Cornyn. Well, he started today:

Cornyn's team have made the videos private on Youtube now, but not before they were saved by Presler. The one below is an ad in Spanish where Cornyn is promising amnesty to illegal aliens. It is a campaign ad.

https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/2047442859981189604

The post below he states he has video of Cornyn arguing for Red Flag laws. He has not posted the video yet. But it is part of his pressure campaign on Thune.

And Presler drops Cornyn's demand for Red Flag laws and Congress should fund states with Red Flag laws. Link of video of Cornyn on the Senate floor below with full quoted post:

https://x.com/ScottPresler/status/2048069221956100380
🚩CORNYN ON RED FLAG LAWS🚩

“I trust the states to make their own decisions & 16 states have decided to pass red flag laws.”

“Congress should send federal funding to [states with red flag laws].”

Red flag laws allow individuals to petition courts to seize firearms from those deemed to be a danger.

Here are the 14 Republican Senators that joined with democrats on this red flag law legislation:

▪️Sen. Cornyn (R-TX)
▪️Sen. McConnell (R-KY)
▪️Sen. Tillis (R-NC)
▪️Sen. Collins (R-ME)
▪️Sen. Graham (R-SC)
▪️Sen. Cassidy (R-LA)
▪️Sen. Blunt (R-MO)
▪️Sen. Burr (R-NC)
▪️Sen. Romney (R-UT)
▪️Sen. Portman (R-OH)
▪️Sen. Capito (R-WV)
▪️Sen. Ernst (R-IA)
▪️Sen. Murkowski (R-AK)
▪️Sen. Young (R-IN)

Please note that 4 of the Republican Senators that voted for red flag laws

voted 👉AGAINST👈 adding the SAVE America Act to the budget reconciliation package: Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, & McConnell.
