Republicans in DC do not want to answer questions about Trump’s debate performance

As Senator John Cornyn of Texas refused to answer a question about former president Donald Trump’s racist remarks about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio eating pets, a dog passed by him in the basement of the Senate.

Cornyn has spent past few years yammering about immigration and the border, going as far as to say the US-Mexico border is “on fire.” But when asked about the bizarre racist conspiracy theory propagated by his colleague Senator JD Vance of Ohio and mentioned onstage by Trump as he debated Kamala Harris on Tuesday night, Cornyn dithered.

“If you have a serious question, I’m happy [to answer],” Cornyn told The Independent.

The former president’s meltdown at his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris could not be defended. A snap poll from CNN conducted by SSRS showed that 63 percent of registered voters thought Harris won the debate. Harris baited Trump by talking about his crowd sizes, which led to himranting first about his rallies before pivoting to the conspiracy theory.

Republicans know they cannot defend such behavior.

Trump’s words can be called nothing more than racist bile. They are the types of words that would inflame hate crimes against migrants from Haiti. Republicans would rather not talk about it. So they instead will attack the press.

Initially, Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa brushed off a question about the remarks. When reminded that Trump is her party’s nominee for the general election, she took exception.

“Excuse me? Excuse me?” Ernst asked The Independent.

Senator James Lankford, the architect of the border bill that Trump eventually killed earlier this year, said he had not seen the full debate.

“I've heard bits and pieces of the story. I know nothing about that story,” he told
