Cornyn's loss signals the end of GOP cultural appeasement
The Smithsonian’s twin shrines to identity politics had a deservedly rough political week.
TL;DR
- Two Smithsonian museum projects favored by Republicans experienced political difficulties.
- Senator John Cornyn lost his Texas primary election, a development linked to Donald Trump's endorsement of his opponent.
- A House bill for a women's museum was rejected following an amendment requiring it to focus on women.
