'Your time is done': GOP senator slammed from both sides after posting 'staged' photo [View all]

Republican senator John Cornyn of Texas took heat from anti-Donald Trump observers and MAGA on Saturday after he posted a "staged" photo.

Cornyn, who has been largely supportive of Trump's agenda but has bucked the President at other times, took to X this week to post a photo of himself reading Trump's Art of the Deal. The ghostwriter for that book has since opposed the President. "Recommended," Cornyn wrote.

MAGA fans didn't buy what one outlet labeled a "staged" photo of himself with the Trump memorabilia. Right-wing podcaster Nick Sortor said, "I recommend [Ken Paxton] over John Cornyn."A MAGA lawyer known as DC_Draino wrote, "You passed the biggest gun control bill in decades as a Senator from TEXAS." "We want you gone," the attorney added.

Popular MAGA influencer Gunther Eagleman chimed in with, "Bye John, you failed Texas. Big time! Paxton is real America First." Right-wing author Steve Friend said, "You voted to renew FISA 702. Treasonous coward."Republican candidate Alexander Duncan said, "You are trying way too hard." "You’ve been anti-Trump and anti-MAGA from the very beginning. You really think we’re stupid don’t you? We don’t forget. Your time is done," Duncan then added.

As a note, Cornyn's seat is up in 2026 so looks like the MAGats are getting ready to primary him.
