After sparring with a reporter briefly, Casar added, “Senator Cornyn should put his money where his mouth is.” Cornyn then walked up and Casar said, “Hey, senator, I was hoping that we could—”

Cornyn cut him off, “Why don’t you tell your Democrat friends to vote to pay these poor people” – referring to TSA workers whose pay is being withheld.
