Cornyn Torches Dem Senator for Blocking Bill to Defund the César E. Chávez National Monument

Published | Video Starts at 13:25

We know that Cesar Chavez is victims from his victims, that he was a sexual predator. I choose to believe those victims and I hope the Senator from New Mexico does as well. We should completely defund, permanently close and divest this monument and use the savings to prevent future serial rapists from escaping justice. I object. Is there an objection to the original request, Mr. President, reserving the right to object? (13:25–13:39)

CLAIM

Asserts that the monument should be defunded and closed, with savings used to prevent future sexual crimes.
