DALLAS–State Sen. Royce West, candidate for United States Senate in the July 14 Democratic Primary runoff, responded to an attack ad released by Sen. John Cornyn Tuesday, calling it the work of a “Trump Junior” campaign.

“Cornyn called me the leader of a liberal mob today to raise money,” West mused.

West commented on the irony of the situation, considering Cornyn’s silence about radical right-wing mobs.

“For 16 years in the Senate, Cornyn has stood silent on voting rights, he has stood silent on women’s rights, he has stood silent as President Trump said there were ‘good people on both sides’ when an innocent person died in Charlottesville at the hands of a neo-Nazi during right-wing mob violence,” West said.

That won’t be a liberal mob, but moms, dads, grandparents, and everyday Texans who want real leadership in the US Senate.”
