‘I Simply Asked A Question’: Cornyn Tries To Clean Up Fuss Over Biden’s Normal Tweets | Talking Points Memo

[ajm]

Nothing about the shooters will make any difference in how this country is run. Telling the truth about Gaetz and Cornyn, on the other hand, might.

If you like Progress Pond’s style so much better go hang out there instead of spamming for them here.

Watch Cornyn’s remarks below:

Think I’ll pass…

[glowgirl]

Why are you whining that TPM isn’t covering the murders of first world people? What about the plight of women in Afghanistan? What about the genocide of Muslim Chinese? What about the genocide of the Rohingya? Why isn’t TPM devoting all its time and energy into any of that?

Contact Josh and lay out your case for The One Journalistic Topic to Rule Them All, rather than mewling your what-aboutisms behind such a sad pseudonym. (Really? “Skeptical?” I’m imagining a Libertarian in his twenties who’s totes gonna pwn the libs with his superior logic and rhetorical skills.)

P.S. The NYTimes ain’t spending any time on most of these murders, either, so…I guess you’re stuck with the HuffPost.

In this case your imagination is running away with you.

I’m kinda envious!

Texas doesn’t need any upgrades to roads, bridges, broadband or mass transit. Right Sen Cornyn? Y’all don’t need no help from that fedrel guvmit.

@JR_in_Mass

He has never buggered an 8-year-old boy, nor has he ever paid anyone for buggery, and hasn’t buggered a minor since he was himself a minor. And, to be clear, he has never engaged in buggery in his Senate office. Nor, for the record, has he ever engaged in bestiality with chickens or cats. I hope this clears everything up.

Ah, but can he PROVE IT?

[meandterry]

Does Sen. Cornyn beat his wife? Just askin’.

[discobot]

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

[esva]

Ah, Jeez-Louise - don’t be giving them any ideas!

[daveyjones64]

@zillacop

Oh, so you miss that former tweety bird.

Yeah, but here is the thing about that. Cornyn and nearly every republican member of Congress, when asked about some stupid Trump tweet, would always respond (if they didn’t run away, often times quite literally), that they didn’t read his tweets.

So now all of a sudden, they are reading Biden’s?

How interesting…

[machoneman]

Yeah, like a guy Corn-Hole’s age should be yappin’ about President Biden’s age. Oh, and think of all the nonsensical tweets the OrangeIdiot sent even as he started his run for the presidency. Pot calling kettle black?

He’s always been a dumbshit!

[machoneman]

Great analysis and I agree 100%!

[kenga]

@birdford

because nothing we had just witnessed was illegal

Maybe not under state law …

[kovie]

Cornyn questioning someone’s mental capacity is a little like Trump making fun of someone’s looks.

And that whole “I was just asking/saying” line is classic trolling/gaslighting, even for someone as dimwitted as Cornyn.

“Sir, I’m not accusing you of being a pedophile, I’m just asking if you like young boys”.

[marknc]

And THAT, sir - is the correct answer.

[trumpdog]

I don’t know who runs Cornyns account, but they are awful. He routinely posts stupid comments and routinely gets ratioed

[progress]

Given his nonchalance about mass shootings, police brutality and violent insurrection, is Senator Cronyn really just a mouthpiece for neofascists? Who’s really in charge here?

Hey, it’s just a question.

[afisher]

Consider what John is saying - if you do not act like an Autocrat then how could he possibly know who is in charge.    Wowzer, Mr "statesman" has joined the gop in the mud with pigs.

[brucea]

If Google Translate had Republican on its language list:

from: Republican: “I was just asking questions.”

to: English “I was just taking a dump on the carpet.”
