Outgoing Senator John Cornyn on Tuesday trashed President Trump after the stunning GOP midterm losses.
CNN’s Manu Raju asked Cornyn if Trump was ‘on the ballot’ and contributed to the midterm shift.
The House and the Senate flipped blue last week after the GOP-controlled Congress did nothing productive over the last two years.
The Democrats took at least seven Senate seats and they are trying to take two more – Alaska and Mississippi.
“I think he was on the ballot. Midterm elections are a referendum on the status quo, and I think we all know how that turned out,” Cornyn said.
Cornyn said the quiet part out loud and claimed the GOP establishment is “going to have to rebuild the Republican Party” – without Trumpism.
“I would like to hope that we would learn some lessons going forward because we’re going to have to rebuild the Republican Party after what was a cataclysmic election,” Cornyn said.
WATCH:
John Cornyn continued his anti-Trump crusade all summer after losing the Texas Senate primary to Ken Paxton.
Republican Senators refused to come together to pass the SAVE America Act even though more than 70% of Americans back the voter ID bill.
In June, John Cornyn admitted he lied to voters in a shocking moment of candor in remarks to CNN reporter Manu Raju.
CNN reporter Manu Raju asked Cornyn whether he feels he has more freedom after losing to Paxton and being unseated.
“Are you kidding? Of course. Absolutely. My liberation day: May 26,” Cornyn confidently said.
After Cornyn lost to Paxton, he went full anti-Trump and tried to derail Blanche’s confirmation and came out against the SAVE America Act.
Cornyn also gloated after Ken Paxton lost to far-left Texas US Senate candidate James Talarico.
