Texas Senate Race Turns Ugly—Is This the Swamp’s New Normal?
The Texas Republican primary is now a circus, and guess what? The so-called “adults in the room” are the worst offenders. Just days before early voting, John Cornyn’s team went off the rails, blasting out the unredacted personal information of Rep. Wesley Hunt for millions to see. His home address, driver’s license number—heck, even part of his Social Security number—posted online for the world. Is this what passing for “hardball politics” in 2024? Or is it just reckless incompetence, the kind we’d expect from the left?
The Cornyn campaign tried to spin this as necessary opposition research, but let’s get real—a top staffer handed a loaded gun to anyone unhinged enough to use Hunt’s family info for something evil. Posting personal details online isn’t digging for dirt—it’s modern-day intimidation. Conservatives fought tooth and nail when liberals used the same noxious tactics against the Supreme Court or everyday Americans. But now it’s coming from inside the Republican Party? The establishment has officially lost the plot.
Even after the initial post was deleted, the damage was done. Cornyn’s people tried to play clean-up, redacting the info only after outrage hit like a Texas thunderstorm. Meanwhile, silence reigned in Cornyn’s camp. Not a single word of condemnation or apology. Silence, of course, is consent—at least in the eyes of those who’ve watched political violence explode over the last decade.
Let’s not ignore the swampy games here. The Cornyn camp claims Wesley Hunt lied about his military discharge and eligibility to vote years ago. Fine—call him out if you must. But releasing his family’s private data to win a few points? That’s not leadership. That’s big city, D.C.-style dirt peddling. And Texas deserves far better than another weak-kneed Republican trying to impress the globalist class by attacking his own side.
This race has become a warning sign for every conservative. When the establishment fears losing their grip on power, they’re willing to stoop to the very tactics we’ve spent years fighting. If Texas conservatives let this behavior slide, is there any swamp creature that won’t slither out to poison our movement? At the end of the day, are we really going to let the party of doxxing become the party of Texas?
