Hardcore conservative US Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) comes under fire on Monday after posting a tweet complaining about President Joe Biden’s media strategy – one that is vastly different from Donald Trump’s, and different in terms of approval ratings and actuals Proven to be very effective.
“The President does not conduct interviews on cable news. Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, inconceivably conventional. Most of the public comments are written in scripts. Biden has opted for fewer seated interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters, ”Cornyn tweeted.
He followed up with this accusation:
Invites the question: is he really responsible?

Cornyn’s first tweet should have been in quotation marks as The Daily Show’s Matt Negrin revealed that it was actually taken word for word from an article by Politico.
People rave about this @JohnCornyn tweet and while it’s typical malicious bullshit, it’s * word for word * copied from a Politico story that tries to make Biden look bad for having a “strategy” for the press that reporters don’t like because he’s not Trump https://t.co/j6ZNCUxwUq pic.twitter.com/DMqrBGpOnj

Cornyn, who clearly consented to the Politico attack, is ridiculed and beaten for insisting that it is a president’s job to feed the media machine rather than do the real work. Biden’s lack of drama and narcissism literally worries the Texas Republican Senator.
Here’s how some respond to Cornyn’s attack:
Is he really responsible? Record Number of Vaccines in Guns! Checks on our bank accounts! Finally a job and infrastructure plan! All of this without crazy tweets and interviews. Yes, he is responsible and works for the American people. What are you doing john

Imagine if you were so damn stupid that you think that a competent president is actually a problem.

Biden has won by far the most presidential votes in history and he has preached the most moderate and uniform sane little steps, and the republican response was damned that you are a communist, we’d rather Trump burn the nation and its laws / democracy on the ground

Do you know what else President Biden is not doing? Golf. Trump’s presidency included hours of watching Fox News, tweeting, golfing, using government funds to enrich his real estate, and the uprising. He spent 4 years pledging a new health plan and wall funding for Mexico.

Take all the damn seats in the Aggie and Longhorn stadiums together! Heaven forbids us to have a @POTUS who isn’t an ignorant malicious narcissistic anger tweeter, gas lights, or Lapin’s buttocks during all of his waking hours.

Lord, have mercy. You’d think you’d praise Biden for that. So you’re criticizing him for actually spending time on his actual job? Maybe you could consider that.

I think @JohnCornyn has forgotten what normality looks and feels like. After more than 4 years with Velveeta Voldemort sucking all the oxygen out of his brain, this is in some ways understandable.

Imagine you are a senator and dumber than a jar of paste.

President does work. GOP whines the president is too busy to tweet, play golf, or randomly call the news media to complain. Senator also ran and hid from insurgents on 1/6/21 and then claimed they weren’t dangerous …
