Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told Newsmax that people opposed to the policies of President Donald Trump are choosing chaos over safety.

Cornyn told “Newsline” on Friday that “It takes Trump derangement syndrome to a whole new level, where instead of agreeing with President Trump that, yes, public safety is important and we need to work together to address that, they choose the other side, which is less public safety, more crime.”
