CANCUN—Ted Cruz is really ignorant of how to be a politician. The guy traveled during a crisis in his state, and he isn't even a Democrat.
What an idiot!
The media informed Cruz of his faux pas as soon as he landed in the Yucatán Peninsula, shouting at him that he's not allowed to travel during a crisis, since he has an "R" next to his name.
"You can only get away with traveling during a crisis if you specifically tell people to stay home and then don't stay home yourself!" screamed a CNN journalist on the scene as Cruz landed. "Oh, and of course, you have to be a liberal!"
A Univision reporter shouted, "Ay, Caramba!" which is reportedly a Spanish phrase meaning, "Your hypocrisy is unforgivable because you are a Republican, you moron!"
"Well, y'all, I shore am sorry," Cruz said from his resort in sunny Cancun. "I hadn't realized I would only get a pass for this if I was a liberal. Boy, howdy, am I in hot stew now, ya hear?"
At publishing time, Cruz had flown back to Texas and promised to do better, or at least to switch parties before he traveled during a crisis next time.
Considering it’s the Bee, it’s supposed to be satire.
Problem is, it isn’t.
Actions help form opinions from others. Cruz fell for the accusations
and tried to give explanations.
His response should have been, “Yep people are still traveling”.
When and if travel is banned I’ll obey the action.”
“Considering it’s the Bee, it’s supposed to be satire. Problem is, it isn’t.”
Agree. The fact that it literally took the media to make Ted realize just how STUPID that move was pretty much seals his future here in Texas, and not in a good way.
“His response should have been, “Yep people are still traveling”. When and if travel is banned I’ll obey the action.””
In hindsight, after being initially caught, that would have been best. But it happened fast and he didn’t think his lies (or at least implied lies) would come out, including his planned return date, and that the trip was ‘long-planned’.
Again, very few Republicans would screw up at this level to go there under the conditions that Texas had (which says a lot regarding how bad this screw up was)...so there really wasn’t any damage-control template to follow for him after being caught - he was on his own.
Cruz didn’t violate a lockdown or stay at home order like Newsom, Widmer and Pelosi did. A lot of Texans left the state.
Bor-ing!!!
Ted is going to be slammed by the media for anything and everything he does.
So knowing that, this is a non-story.
Wake me up when the dems renounce satan and socialism, child rape, and child murder.
I refuse to ever countenance a single media narrative.
