Dem Candidate Hegar calls Cornyn "a lackey and a spineless bootlicker" for Trump

MJ Hegar was the winner of this week's Texas' Democratic runoff for U.S. Senate, and she will oppose John Cornyn in the general election.

According to an article in the Dallas Morning News:
Quote:
In an interview, Hegar fired back, calling Cornyn “a lackey and a spineless bootlicker” for President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
“He is accurately shaking in his boots and acting scared,” she said of Cornyn.

Hopefully she is one of many Dem candidates to retire Trump slurpers.

We need a new day, a fresh reboot in 2121. Where honest returns and we start moving forward again, toward more economic equality and less racial inequality.

Policy comes second, mostly they vote for whomever they think is "strongest."

Both Hegar and McGrath need to come out swinging, do not let repubs define them.

Define repubs as the weaklings!

I would have happily voted for Royce West if he’d won, but I think MJ is going to bring a better fight.
