November Surprises
Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) accused a group that supports Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) of lying about him, by asserting that he had been “jailed more than once” and was “charged with a felony,” the Dallas Morning News reports.
“That is strange, because Stockman has admitted to these facts, several times.”
The Texas Tribune broke the story and has Stockman’s mugshot from 1977.
