Why is Ted Cruz always vacationing overseas when disaster strikes Texas? More importantly, why is he in no hurry to cut his vacation to help his constituents?
https://www.thedailybeast.com/vacationing-ted-cruzs-as-fast-as-humanly-possible-return-claim-crumbles/ Ted Cruz could have booked numerous flights from Greece to Texas before the one he boarded—despite his office claiming he came home from his European vacation “as fast as humanly possible.” The Daily Beast’s newsletter The Swamp revealed Monday how Cruz was caught touring the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, 24 hours after the Guadalupe River burst its banks, sweeping away dozens of lives in an unspeakable horror whose full effects are still unfolding. After we published, Cruz’s director of communications issued the claim about his speed of return, adding that the article was “a bull----piece” that showed “no regard for the tragedy in Texas.” But the Daily Beast has reviewed flight options for Cruz from Athens to San Antonio and discovered several that would have gotten him back sooner than his Sunday return. Flight data shows multiple flights from Athens to San Antonio, Texas, on Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5, after the floods hit. However, Cruz raised eyebrows among vacationers when he was spotted with his wife lining up outside the Parthenon on Saturday, July 5, at about 6 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET)—more than 24 hours after the Guadalupe River burst its banks. “He was with his family and a lone security guard,” said an eyewitness at the Parthenon. “As he walked past us, I simply said, ‘20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?’ “He sort of grunted and walked on,” the Swamp spy continued. “His wife shot me a dirty look. Then they continued on with their tour guide.” |
Texas and those suffering following the flooding will have Ted’s full attention as soon as he checks to see if everyone is doing OK in Israel first. |
I just cannot understand how Texans vote for a man who couldn’t care less about any of them. Unless they are Republican millionaires. |
And the stupid CNN headline just says:
"Cruz came back ‘as fast as humanly possible’ from Greece vacation after floods hit Texas, his office says" |
Regardless of how you feel about him, the man and his family have a right to a vacation. |
And people have a right to negatively judge an elected official who chooses to tour the Parthenon during a horrifying catastrophe occuring to the people that hired him as their representative. |
Love the photo from Greece with his big fat belly hanging out. |
What does Heidi see in him? She’s an MD at Goldman Sachs. She does not need him. |
He lied? Shocking.
(not shocking) |
I always feel bad for his daughters...oh and his dog left behind with no power. |
Is this whole “Greek” thing supposed to be some sort of anti-LGTBQIA+ slur?? |
He was in Greece. “Greeking out” is just a play on the phrase “geeking out” |
He has negative charisma, this man. And always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. When you do it that often, it's imbecility. Plenty of elected representatives from both parties manage not to get caught in awkward situations. |
This exactly. |
One of his daughters despises him. Caught on camera. Can’t find the twit x video. |
