Sen. Cornyn Booed, Called A "Traitor" At Texas Tea Party
In Austin, Cornyn was booed at the start and close of his remarks critical of federal spending and taxes. Cornyn, a Republican invited by organizers to speak, drew some boos for voting for the federal bailout of Wall Street last year. "I'm not part of Washington," Cornyn said after the speech, the Austin American-Statesman reported. "I happen to work there, but on behalf of Texas, and I can vote 'no' on these reckless spending bills, on the refusal to cut taxes."
