John Cornyn

Radical Islam is a bloodthirsty ideology.

It fueled the unspeakable crimes on October the 7th.

It showed its evil face again at Bondi Beach.

As Texas Senator, I'm fighting to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Council on American Islamic Relations.

Let me be clear.

No organization that supports terrorists should receive taxpayer benefits.

And Sharia law has no place in American courts or communities.

I'm John Cornyn and I approve this message.

Join my team and give today.

And this is all about a special election for a Texas state Senate seat.

And so you get Hispanic communities and you get a lot of upscale Republican communities.

They're basically Republicans.

But when they're given a lackluster Republican and a good Democrat who's an Air Force veteran who works for Lockheed, which in Fort Worth, it's kind of like working for GM.

And look, there's a lot of districts around America that are very similar to this in the U.S.

House.

Significant population of Hispanic or Asian voters and a lot of suburbanites who are in the political center.

Republican Chairman John Cornyn opened the hearing by condemning what he sees as interference with ICE in cities such as Chicago.

The ranking Democrat, Alex Padilla, says he opposes any violence against law enforcement.

But before walking out, he told Republicans they should have called witnesses from the Department of Homeland Security.

DHS has said that death threats against ICE have increased 8,000 percent, but Padilla says it won't respond to his requests for the data behind that and other claims.
