There’s a reason that you don’t see Texas Senator John Cornyn making a lot of speeches and television appearances.  Like Ted Cruz, he’s a buffoon.  Unlike Ted Cruz, he knows it.

Would you like to see an example from yesterday?  Defending his leader Donald Trump, Cornyn explained why Republicans are calling Coronavirus the “Chinese virus.”

“China is to blame,” Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said Wednesday of the virus, which was first identified in Wuhan, China. “Because the culture where people eat bats and snakes and dogs and things like that.”

Damn, dude. You’re from Texas.  You eat crawfish, which are just big roaches that live underwater. You eat crabs and oysters and you eat oysters raw. You eat gator and bull testicles. You eat Bambi’s mom and say it’s yummy.  And if you try to convince us that you’ve never eaten rattlesnake, then you will lose four counties in west Texas.  You’re a Texan and that means you’ll put pretty near any goddam thing in your mouth, chew it up, swallow it and then cheerfully wait a day or two before you leave it in the outhouse.

Don’t get prissy, John.  If you’ve ever eaten chili that you didn’t make yourself, you have no idea what you’ve eaten.

And, the icing on the cake is a charming article at The Root.  It contends that Cornyn’s statement is only the third most racist thing Republicans said yesterday.  Be sure to read to the bottom – you’ll snort giggle.
