The Texas Republican Party rebuked one of the state's Republican senators, John Cornyn, for his support of a bipartisan agreement on gun-safety legislation. Texas Republicans made the rebuke official in its 40-page party platform approved at its biennial convention.
After condemning age restrictions, red flag laws, and waiting periods, the platform stated, "Whereas all gun control is a violation of the Second Amendment and our God-given rights, we reject the so-called ‘bipartisan gun agreement,’ and we rebuke [Sen.] John Cornyn (R-Texas)."
The platform also promoted claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election, without providing evidence. "We believe that substantial election fraud in key metropolitan areas significantly affected the results in five key states in favor of Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.," it stated. "We reject the certified results of the 2020 Presidential election and we hold that acting President Joseph 1586 Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States."
