In a surprising turn of events, Texas Senator John Cornyn finds himself at odds with a fellow Republican official in his home state after voting in favor of a $95 billion foreign aid package. The backlash came swiftly from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who criticized Cornyn's priorities, sparking a heated exchange between the two politicians.

Paxton took to social media to express his disbelief, stating, "Unbelievable that @JohnCornyn would stay up all night to defend other countries' borders, but not America." However, Cornyn did not shy away from defending his vote and had some strong words of his own for Paxton.

In a scathing response, Cornyn questioned Paxton's focus, highlighting the attorney general's recent impeachment trial over allegations of bribery and corruption, as well as ongoing securities fraud charges. Cornyn suggested that Paxton should prioritize his legal defense instead of pushing Russian propaganda.

The foreign aid package was supported by 22 Senate Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The bill will now move on to the House for further consideration. Notably, this move goes against the desires of former President Donald Trump, who has been vocal about his opposition to providing more aid to Ukraine.

Despite Cornyn's rebuttal, Paxton seemed unfazed. He promptly fired back at the senator, labeling him an "America Last RINO" on social media. Paxton accused Cornyn of prioritizing foreign wars over the national security crisis at the southern border, aligning him with the Biden administration.

The clash between these high-profile Texas Republicans highlights the divisions within the party over foreign aid and immigration policy. As Trump's influence grows among Republican members of Congress, the fate of the aid package in the House remains uncertain.

It remains to be seen how this disagreement will impact the relationship between Cornyn and Paxton, as well as their respective standing within the Republican Party. The debate over foreign aid and national security priorities continues to be a contentious issue, indicating potential battles ahead for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
