10 Ways John Cornyn Has Stabbed President Trump, MAGA, and America in the Back

In this The Federalist article, the outlet outlines a series of decisions by Texas Sen. John Cornyn that critics argue put him at odds with President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.The article lists ten instances where Cornyn allegedly sided with establishment Republicans or Democrats on issues that MAGA voters prioritized.One of the most prominent examples cited is Cornyn’s role in negotiating the 2022 bipartisan gun control package after the Uvalde shooting, which many conservatives opposed.The piece also highlights Cornyn’s support for large foreign aid packages and spending bills that critics say contradicted the fiscal restraint favored by many Trump supporters.Cornyn is accused of backing or defending Senate Republican leadership decisions that MAGA activists view as insufficiently aligned with Trump’s agenda.The article points to moments when Cornyn criticized Trump directly or appeared hesitant to support the former president during key political conflicts.It also notes Cornyn’s positions on immigration and border policy that critics say were weaker than the stricter enforcement approach promoted by Trump.The outlet argues that Cornyn represents the older “establishment” wing of the GOP that MAGA voters increasingly distrust.Supporters of Cornyn counter that his votes reflected pragmatic governance and the realities of legislating in the Senate.Read the full story:https://thefederalist.com/2026/03/05/10-times-john-cornyn-betrayed-trump-and-maga/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
