Texas MAGA Congressman Wesley Hunt tells CNN he’s heard Senate Republicans begging him to get the fuck out of the now-three-way primary for John Cornhole Cornyn’s seat but doesn’t give a shit that it’ll probably force a runoff between Cornyn and Picasso-faced Attorney General Ken Paxton that will cost them tens of millions of dollars, Hunt is “absolutely” staying in the race.
“If Senate leadership does not like me being in this race, you know what I say? Good, because Senate leadership does not pick the leadership in Texas,” Hunt said, adding “This is like a David and Goliath kind of story. I have a couple of smooth stones to throw at him, but guess what? They are very effective. The people of Texas are looking for an alternative, and it’s my job to give them one.”
A Cornyn ally says that “very senior Republicans,” are furious with Hunt and have repeatedly told him to get out of the race. This person did not, however, say if convicted felon President Trump was one of said very senior Republicans. In fact Hunt himself said that neither Donald nor any of his minions told him the same. “Nobody has told me a word,” Hunt said of the White House’s position.
Thing is that if Trump was going to make an endorsement and end this shitshow he probably would’ve done it already. Yet Cornyn persists in pleading with the fat bastard. “We’ll spend a lot of money that could be spent more productively elsewhere. If I’m at the top of the ticket, chances are that it will help down ballot races including these congressional seats that are now in litigation. So I think it’s in the president’s best interest, and that’s what I’ve explained to him,” he said.
