Cornyn DENIIES lip-lock on Trump's butt: "I'd say, uh, that's not true. I think we're through. Go ahead. Go away." [View all]

"The president has made the SAVE America Act his 'number one priority,' and he is right," the senator added. "After careful consideration, I support whatever changes to Senate rules that may prove necessary for us to get the SAVE America Act and homeland security funding past the Democrats' obstruction, through the Senate, and on the president's desk for his signature."

Later on Wednesday, NBC News confronted Cornyn about why he had changed his position.

"You previously said that nuking the filibuster would be taking a wrecking ball to Senate rules," an NBC reporter noted. "Is that no longer true?"

"Um, I said I'd be open to reforms," Cornyn insisted.

"What would you say to those who say you just changed your mind to win the president's endorsement?" the reporter asked.

"I'd say, uh, that's not true," the Republican stated, adding, "I think we're through. Go ahead. Go away."
