The story of the day is the exposure of the #corkerkickback.

There’s a backstory being pieced together. Follow if interested. 1/
Senator Cornyn said the last minute change to create a #corkerkickback was added to “cobble together” the votes to pass the legislation.👇

What did he mean? 2/

The GOP in the Senate supposedly already had 51 votes without Corker’s vote. Yet at the end they increased his net worth by, call it, $14 million* with the #corkerkickback.

Kickback’s used to bring prom to a state. This one brings it to his bank account. 3/
