CNN: Six Years Ago Cornyn Criticized Obama’s Handling of Ebola Crisis, Now He is Praising the Current Administration’s Pandemic Response

Last night, CNN dug up comments from 2014, in which Senator John Cornyn criticized the Obama administration’s response to Ebola, and yet fast forward to 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed over 5,000 Texans, and Cornyn has no critiques for the current Administration.

Instead Cornyn has praised President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, saying the president has “led well” and “given it his all” to combat the virus.

To put it into perspective, in 2014, only four people were diagnosed with Ebola in the US, only two cases were contracted on US soil, and only one of the four died. Currently, the coronavirus pandemic has infected over 4 million Americans, and killed more than 150,000.

“What Senator Cornyn’s comments show us is what we have known all along: He will always put politics ahead of his own constituents. Texas just passed 5,000 deaths from COVID-19, and instead of holding the Administration accountable and doing everything he can to end the pandemic, he is downplaying the disease and undermining the scientific and medical experts trying to save American lives. Texans will remember this in November when they get to elect a real leader, like MJ, who will always put Texans first,” said Jake Lewis, MJ for Texas spokesperson.
