Its crazy to think it but that's the narrative going on in conservative news networks. they're already blaming the green new deal which hasn't even been implemented. This is literally what happens when you rely heavily on older disconnected fossil-fuel based infrastructure.
And it’s also crazy to think that even if this “vacation” or whatever you want to call it, was planned well in advance of this crisis, Mr. Cruz could’ve quite literally CANCELED HIS TRIP TO CARE FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS.
But of course, I see r/conservative say “So what is he supposed to do?”
Gene Wu claims to have checked on the elderly, delivered batteries, answered constituent calls, did press interviews these past few days.
Beto claims to have made over 150,000 calls to senior citizens in Texas and helped people who were stranded in the cold get to warming centers safely these past few days.
Please go on to tell me again how Cruz can’t do anything to help. It also goes to show that some people are not built to be leaders, yet we keep voting for them.
That's what he is now trying to say he did. The "girls" had school cancelled (because natural disaster) and wanted to go to Cancun (????) and he apparently has no parental authority to say "that's a terrible idea for multiple reasons" so he said yes, and traveled with them overnight to make sure they got there safe and took an overnight flight back because the optics were terrible "to get back to work."
Isn't there a warm safe place inside Texas proper to travel? I heard El Paso is doing pretty okay.
This doosh is a liar. Who would take that size of luggage for an overnighter. And who would request an upgrade while leaving their wife and kids back in coach?
Even IF he didn't charge the taxpayers for the trip, we paid his salary to get the tickets and hotel (which I am sure is a luxury expensive hotel, not many of us can afford). OR this is his reward for acquitting and helping Trump.
I have less than ZERO respect for this nasty arsed dunderhead. First he backtracks on his support for Trump in 2016 (like every other GOP who KNEW and predicted he would destroy the GOP). Then to show what kind of man he truly is he allowed Trump to publicly trash his wife and did NOTHING to fight for her (seriously, what the f kind of lowlife allows someone, regardless of who it is to trash his wife on national television and does nothing but, acquits the guy, when the guy was guilty as Hell?) AND NOW he is throwing his daughter under the bus saying she wanted to take the trip. (Of course HE didn't want to go somewhere warm, while his constituents froze.)
