But ole Cornyn?

On Fox Sunday

weekend.

"It's a very sad time, but it's also a time when 850-plus campers were accounted for and recovered," the senator explained. "I talked to a friend of mine who's a former colleague of yours in the House of Representatives who had two daughters there, and they had just gotten home late yesterday afternoon, and of course they were traumatized by the whole event, but they were just beside themselves with joy that they had recovered their children."

"But tragically, as you point out, there are 27 campers, these young girls still missing," he continued. "And this was a hundred-year flood event in an area that had been known to flood, but nothing like this, where the flood waters rose 26 feet in about 45 minutes."

"So, a terrible tragedy, but thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, the federal disaster relief has been provided at the request of Governor Abbott. And it's just a time of very many conflicting feelings, but primarily we're very sad."
