Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) blasted Republican Sen. John Cornyn (Texas) on Saturday for impugning the integrity of Robert Mueller's special counsel office and the FBI.

On Saturday, Lieu tweeted that Cornyn needed to "shut up" about the integrity of agents on Mueller's team unless he also has a problem with FBI Director Christopher Wray's political donations to Republicans.

Lieu's remarks came in response to tweets from the Senate's no. 2 Republican calling on Mueller to "clean house" of partisans on his team, and rebuking former Attorney General Eric Holder for tweeting that any attempt to remove Mueller would not be tolerated.

Cornyn is the highest-ranking Senate Republican to question the integrity of Mueller's office after text messages revealing anti-Trump bias from a former member of Mueller's team were revealed.

1. Cornyn is a complete ass and has NEVER been a free thinker

I am surprised he can find his ass with both hands.

He's my rep so I can speak with some knowledge.

2. Telling Cornyn to shut up is always recommended.

3. Cornyn is also my senator

I have to admit, his office is easy to communicate with. I can often talk with a person. Cruz never has a person available and his voice mail is often full.

I have repeatedly called Cornyn and emailed him. Just as well to be asking my coffee cup about quantum physics. Maybe worse. He is a horrible senator who does not represent Texas People. He, like all of GOP, represents the rich and self-deals. I have no idea why Texas people tolerate such greedy representatives. Apathy? Stupidity? Racism?

Just based on my personal experienced, I lean toward racism and stupidity. I have often heard how it is black people's faulty when horrible legislation hurts someone. It is a frightening thing to confront. Hatred and stupidity reside deep in the heart of Texas.

4. Yes. He needs more than a "shut up" - wish we could replace him. He's just "smooth" enough to.....

....maintain his position in spite of his obvious uncaring attitude and clear favoritism for his multi-millionaire donors.

6. Mine too.

I can’t stand him, and unfortunately he has several more years in office. I’m hoping we can at least get rid of Ted Cruz next year.

7. Wouldn't that be great. I am NOT proud to say that these 2 losers are my Senators.

5. I've met him

He is a total class A dick
