Cornyn scolds Beto, avoids questions on Patrick-MQS dust up

“I hate to disappoint you, but I try to stay out of the punditry business,” Cornyn said.

Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke’s recent comments on gun control have set back the gun debate for years, if not decades, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn told reporters this afternoon.

O’Rourke, who is trailing in the Democratic polls, has doubled-down on comments that AR-15 and AK-47s need to be subject to a mandatory buy-back program.

"I refuse to even acknowledge the politics or the polling or the fear or the NRA," O'Rourke said on Meet the Press. "That has purchased the complicity and silence of members of Congress."
