Later that afternoon, he expressed support for new legislation: “I am proud to support legislation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization & impose strict sanctions on them & their proxies who chant ‘Death to America.’ This legislation sends a clear message to groups like Hamas & other affiliates that their” (July 21, 2025). The proposed legislation aims to formally classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group and enforce sanctions against its members and affiliates.
In another post that evening, Cornyn highlighted the actions of a local law enforcement officer: “Dallas VA Police Officer Cpl. Lee Higginbotham’s quick and decisive action saved the life of a choking two-year-old. Heroes like Cpl. Higginbotham are making Texas proud every day. #BackTheBlue” (July 21, 2025). The tweet praised Cpl. Higginbotham for responding swiftly to save a child’s life.
Senator Cornyn has served as Texas’ senior senator since 2002 and is known for his positions on national security issues and support for law enforcement agencies.
