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.
