    & This is how the fascist GQP makes a mockery of a serious issue to downplay the severity of their Messiah's actions

    Lyin' Ted Cruz makes a joke about that time he took off for Cancun and left his constituents to freeze to death. And since Texas is facing another deadly storm people are pretty pissed...come on, Ted

    Ted Cruz Makes a Really Sick Cancun ‘Joke’ as Texas Prepares For Another Deadly Winter Storm

    It was just a few days ago that we reported on the fact that not only is Ted Cruz still the asshole he has always been, but he’s getting weirder and weirder, making mistakes, saying things that make no sense, and becoming his own worst enemy (beyond being hated by colleagues.)

    He actually tweeted out that “Candace Owens” should be considered for the SCOTUS. That went over well.

    Now Texas is bracing for another harsh winter storm, the type of dangerous storm that Ted attempted to avoid last year by running like a scared poodle (Actually, his was trapped) to Cancun.

    One would think that Ted would have learned his lesson and take this storm with the seriousness it deserves, pledging to be there to help his state.

    No. He joked about Cancun. According to Newsweek:

    The Republican’s visit to Mexico last year came when a freak winter storm hit Texas. The state’s power grid became overwhelmed during the storm, and millions of Cruz’s constituents were left without electricity. Cruz’s departure was widely condemned, especially after text messages from Cruz’s wife were leaked to the media that indicated the family’s trip was planned as a hasty getaway from the frigid conditions.

    “Inflation is out of control,” Cruz tweeted on Wednesday. He indicated gas, food and lumber prices had also increased by typing the phrases with an accompanying symbol of an upwards arrow.

    He ended the message by adding: “And tickets to Cancun are up 32%!”



    Quite obviously, that would infuriate Texans who suffered immensely while Cruz ran (and the families of the dead).

    And there is no guarantee that the grid will hold up this time, either. Remarkably little has been done to improve the situation in Texas because the electric grid was never meant to be safe and efficient, it was set up to print money for powerful in-state interests.

    A comment from Twitter said it all:

    “The Cancun Cruz missile thinks it’s hilarious that more than 700 Texans died from the cold the last time he fled the country,” one Twitter user wrote in response to the senator’s tweet.


    Twitter was repulsed:
