The grand tradition of dunking on Republican's food continued over the Christmas holiday when Senator John Cornyn of Texas posted a picture of some meat that appeared to be slathered with tomato paste or jar sauce.

Cornyn is not America's favorite person at the moment, as Congress struggles to pass a COVID-19 bill that will give Americans a $600 stimulus check that many think is paltry in comparison to what is necessary, so the barbs came in hot, short and to the point.
looks like shit

This is absolutely horrifying, wtf is wrong with you?

There were also plenty of people who took the opportunity to remind Cornyn that Americans were suffering while he committed crimes against meat.
I love it when people are starving & about to be evicted these fucking Republicans post their family feast

How many of your constituents are cold, hungry and homeless? How many of your constituents have no family to celebrate a family tradition with this year because you failed them with your response to the pandemic? How many of your constituents have empty chairs and hearts?

Cornyn eventually had to respond to the haters, trying to say he loves "all kinds of briskets" in a kumbaya attempt nobody was buying.
For the sensitive types out there, there are many ways to prepare brisket, and I love them all. This recipe calls for 3 1/2 hours in the oven; refrigerate then trim all visible fat; cut into slices; then another 1 1/2 hours in the oven. Fork tender! Home made barbecue sauce, 2. https://t.co/pWRQB0IgJX

I can’t get past “trim all the fat then cook for 1 1/2 hrs more”….is the goal to have shoe leather? Hate to break it to ol Johnny, but all the flavor & moisture in meat comes from the “fat”.
His recipe is an abomination.— Sparkly Savage Bear (@nancyann1968) December 26, 2020
Better luck (and brisket) next year, John.
