Senator Cornyn wanted to do a nice gesture for TSA workers who are not getting paid because the Democrats are keeping the government shut down. Instead, a Leftist Congressman showed up and started a fight with him.

Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-Texas) visit to Austin’s airport Monday to deliver burgers to TSA workers was crashed by progressive Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) and quickly devolved into a heated confrontation.
Casar, who chairs the Congressional Progressive Caucus, faulted Republicans for the ongoing funding lapse at the Transportation Security Administration, despite voting against funding for the entire Department of Homeland Security.
Heated confrontation between Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Greg Casar outside of the Austin airport just now. The two are split on a DHS funding shutdown that’s left some federal employees without paychecks for a month now.@cbsaustin pic.twitter.com/63JAQBXJSy

To be clear, Casar voted AGAINST funding DHS, so this is all performative.
Typical: blaming others for their own refusal to fund patriotic TSA agents and keep Texans safe. Disgraceful https://t.co/B8i8lkABvj

Thank you Senator Cornyn for telling this police hating Marxist to his face, that he’s wrong.

Casar wants to defund the police and stands for absolute lawlessness. https://t.co/KSvYiizulB
Democrats hate law and order.
Casar is such a clown. Cornyn freaking owned him here. 💥💪 https://t.co/4sDa7dwO0F

Typical childish behavior from @GregCasar!

Consequences of DHS not funded?
1) 2.5+ hour lines at @AustinAirport
2) Terrorist-linked man rams car full of explosives into a Jewish Day School
3) Terrorist incident at Old Dom

Democrats don't care about working people. They care about their shrieking constituents who are paid to be activists.
As long as it hurts the workers. Dems only care about protecting illegals. They know there is a raised threat posture, so how many Americans have to die on American soil for Dems to care? As many as it takes? Keeps sitting you cowards. pic.twitter.com/khkCpsEwPl

Fund our borders, Democrats!!

All this goes away.
Democrats are so concerned with protecting illegals, they don't care if American TSA workers get paid.
Democrats voted against funding DHS. This is all on them.

Why does Casar look so nervous?

Cornyn has, of course, repeatedly voted to end the Democrats’ reckless DHS shutdown. Casar’s party is responsible for it & they try to pretend otherwise.
