Ted Walks: Cruz Hammered For Jetting To Paradise Amid Texas Crisis | The Beat With Ari Melber
The GOP brings a whole new meaning to the term, “shameless.”
Because they know 46.8% of voting population has more in common with Korangal Valley, Afghanistan than the 51.3% majority. LET THAT THINK IN
Another reason to vote against Cruz when his re-election comes up
Texans are to blind to see how disgusting Ted Cruz. They’ll keep voting for him🤦
Cruz cares about Texans so much that he leaves them in a crisis and says it’s his children’s fault.. FOH
Just show’s how self indulgent and out of step with reality that Ted is. for a supposedly smart person.
When did you EVER think he was smart?

He’s not very intelligent. I am a Mensan and l and many highly intelligent people I know (many much more so than l) laugh at the idea that he is anything above high AVERAGE intellectual capability. Same with Hawley. Any average ability person can attain a law degree for instance; that’s simply not a very challenging field of inquiry, contrary to what the hoi polloi may think.
And this is not due to bias; for instance McConnell or Bannon are obviously of above average ability, though not nearly as intelligent or knowledgeable as they think they are.
Ted Cruz wouldn’t do what is morally or ethically right. He cannot teach empathy to his daughters because he cannot teach what he does know. He is an ugly being, inside and out.
Might want to edit that to “what he does’t know”. JS
Ted Cruz would make a terrible Spider Man.
Are we even surprised to this point. He can’t even make the right decision during the impeachment, he won’t change even if his own life is in danger.
You mean other peoples lives…
Ted Cruz NEVER cared about YOU TEXANS, SHOCKER!!!! Make better choices next election Texas!!!!
Well he’s a right winger you wouldn’t want him to be cold with the peasants would you? By the way building a wall with extreme hatred then going to that same country for a sunny vacation, just another Republican class act
The mattress man open up his store, showing COMPASSION for cold families and Children. Buy water, pay for hotel space, buy few people generators. IAM sure he has one. 🤔🤔🤔🤔😒There is always something you can do to help in crisis if you offer🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I was just saying this,
same country he wanted to build a wall from!
He let his Texans die of covid with no remorse, is anybody really surprised that he now goes to Mexico and lets them freeze to death? That is the man they voted for.
WHAT ABOUT THE SENIOR CITIZENS CUOMO KILLED? THAT SHOULD BE YOUR OUTRAGE!

Another Russian bot
People will vote him in again Republicans are not smart
Trumpism 101 : Always Blames others and never take responsibility for your own Action and Screw ups.
Of course Ted would throw his daughters under the bus.
Ted Cruz: “I was taking care of my family.”
The same family that he threw under the bus to stroke Donald Trump’s ego.
He stroked more than Trump`s ego with that so called beard.Only “job” he is capable of is giving Trump one.
BINGO!
Not with his wife’s texts being released about leaving their freezing house!! And heading to Cancun!!
See Scott Morrison fleeing Australia to Hawaii when the country was on fire.
That’s what happens when we don’t hold politicians accountable.
The question is, does he even care about this, or that his supporters think it’s not okay?
His kids decided the day before “We want to go to Cancun.” Convenient. Cruz is worried about his kids taking a plane but not worried by leaving them in Cancun. BS>
THIS is privilege. THIS is elitism. Wake up conservative voters: these people are not for you, they are against you.
