He's McConnell's right hand man.
He's up for re-election in 2026, he is two years younger than Chuck Schumer.

Cornyn has been around for a long time.

Although he's an ass voting wise, (of course he is) gaffes like this are rare for him.
He tends to be pretty guarded about his image.

His original tweet created unnecessary alarm in some people, but he had to clarify that he was being facetious. He should not have made that first tweet to Obama. It was racist/racist sounding,-"white privilege and tone deaf". Cornyn is alot like George W Bush when it comes to race issues. Cornyn would not support old style Jim Crow style segregation.
