Resolutions to censure the two Texas Republicans ultimately didn’t pass. But the local party chairman says it’s not because they were voted down; it’s because a procedural issue meant they couldn't be voted on at all.
The Bexar County GOP did not end up censuring Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Tony Gonzales earlier this week, but the head of the party says it could still happen. Other local GOP branches have already censured the two federal lawmakers for breaking with the party on certain issues.– Accused of breaking with their party and voting with Democrats, Sen. John Cornyn and Congressman Tony Gonzales were the subjects of a pair of censure resolutions discussed at a Bexar County G.O.P. meeting Tuesday.

KSAT was unable to obtain confirmed copies of Bexar County G.O.P.’s resolutions, but McManus said it was an “expression of general dissatisfaction” of having Republicans vote with Democrats.The resolutions from the other counties also referenced occasions when the two voted with Democrats, including on gun laws. following the Uvalde massacre. Cornyn helped craft it, and Gonzales, who represents Uvalde, voted for it.
