REPORTER: Was it ever communicated to you that there was a need, a priority to have a warning system so people had a chance to escape something like this? CRUZ: It was predictable that some would engage in partisan politics. It's ridiculous to say it's the fault of Donald Trump.
Cancunt
Cruz - Congress is the master of the budget, controller of the purse. A president is just a humble administrator, there to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed. YOU ARE THE IDIOT HERE! It is your fault, Teddy! (Trump's obviously corrupt, crooked, and dumb as rock too).
HE LIES.
Rump literally does this to California daily. WTF Cruz is such a wanker.
It’s deductive reasoning that says it’s trump’s fault. There’s nothing about which the GOP won’t lie.
The follow-up better have been: “I asked about a need to prioritize a warning system. I said nothing about the President and nothing about who is at fault.”
You mean like the 🍊💩 told CA to rake their forests to avoid fire?
Let’s go back to Cruz going after Biden for decisions he made and him doing exactly what he complains about.
Cruz is an idiot. No one is saying the natural event (e.g., flooding) is Trump's fault. They're saying the lack of preparation to reduce harm, the lack of sufficient communications, and the lack of support for those those affected by the event are Trump's fault; indeed, his deliberate decisions.
Somebody is feeling a little defensive 👀...
Ted Cruz is ridiculously stupid... Who defunded FEMA?? Trump
And hurricane season hasn’t kicked into full gear yet….gonna be a painful find out phase.
I know
There it is. When the GOP does it’s NOT partisan politics. When we do it … oh cry me a river … you’re hurting my fee fee’s. Reverse victim offender.
Ridiculous, but true.
That’s you did the last 5 years..still blaming Biden ahole!
Governor newsom would like a word
"It's ridiculous to say it's the fault of Donald Trump" when it is in fact Donald Trump's fault due to policy choices to drastically slash funding for NOAA and NWS and fire about 20% of the weather experts that worked at both agencies. Fuck off you spineless coward.
Hey, remember that time Trump blamed wild fires on newsom? As they were happening and people lost their homes and lives? I do. Everything is political Raphael. Because we elect people to help prevent and recover from these events.
He doth protest too much
It IS the fault of Donald Trump!!!
keep eating out that festering orange puss-dripping traitorous asshole, Rafael
😂😂😂😂😂my god the taste in his mouth must be horrendous🍄
It's even more ridiculous to try and blame this on Biden, but as usual that's what Trump tried to do, Ted.
Look how selling out to Trump has aged him. Damn, he looks 80 years old.
Now get out there and rake the forest ya fuck face.
Ah, so they all seem to want to protect Trump from blame. Gotcha. Now, how about state and local responsibility for their part in this tragedy? Texas Hill Country is known as Flash Flood Alley. If Texans don’t know that, hmmm 🤔
Wrong again Greasy Cruz
Hear that? It’s Ted’s lips puckering up and sucking, as he kisses up to that vile, filthy thing.
1- If Harris had been elected the flood would stil have happened. 2- The destruction also. 3- The loss of life could have been far less because all the fail safes would have still been in place. 4- That makes this a partisan political issue. Trump is at fault and refuses responsibility as usual.
Poor Texas. They keep electing fat bastard, Cruz. What has Cruz done for Texans lately?
Says Cancun Cruz
Greek, Raphael was in Greek this time
Opa!
The ppl of Texas got what we voted for.
God this man is despicable
Did he fly off to Cancun?
No he was in greece or somewhere in Europe
I guess he didn't hear the question...?
I have a Serious question. How is it that the Republicans ALWAYS get away with bashing Newsome for the fires, Biden for NC floods etc but when it happens to them it is all “now is not the time to get political”. And their folks eat that crap up. Tell me please, how does this keep happening?
I use to think it was Dems messaging but there is something much larger at play!!!
Classic Ted Cruz: Always defending the status quo ... and dodging responsibility to his constituents.
He's a cow.
Did this repprter bring up the DOGE cuts to FEMA, NOOA, & NWS?
How about when Trump blamed Governor Gavin Newsom for the wildfires?! This is an absolute tragedy, but the President should be held by the same respectable manners as everyone else.
Notice how he doesn’t answer the reporter’s question, while simultaneously becoming a boot licker for Trump? He’s trying to defend the DOGE cuts that he supported which ended up getting people killed. Ted Cruz is a murderer.
For the 2nd time around. Last time he went to Cancun during an ice storm when people froze to death
Like how the fires are Gavin Newsom fault? Jfc ted. Fuck off.
Doesn't that face and comment make you want to puke?
Whenever a disaster is about to hit Texas, Ted Cruz flees the country. The President of Mexico Claudia Scheinbaum has done more to help the people of Texas post-flood than chicken-boy Ted Cruz!
What a scum bag Cruz is, just like the M oscow A ss G overning A merica
Reporter: Did you understand the question?
Shouldn't he be in Cancun?
It is trump's fault, and the Republicans for all his cuts for safety alerts!
Ah, the best and biggest ass kisser in Washington, only sad that he had to cut his vaca short, such a pathetic loser and waste of tax payers dollars. But hey let's get that photo op in ok ted?
This fucking half-witted, boot-licking hack...
www.thedailybeast.com/ted-cruz-was... Once again, Texas has a MASSIVE climate-related disaster, and Travelin' Teddy is NOWHERE to be seen. archive.is/sHKKD
Ted can fuck off into the sun.
Would be a great song lyric.
That’s a no.
So much shit coming out of his mouth. 🍕 💩
So he is saying it is on Trump.but don't say it?
Why does TX keep voting for these assholes?
heavily gerrymandered and voter suppressed
Racism
There's a #PBS #Frontline about this from May....it's just disgusting.
Abbott and his merry band of Christians need to h*ng over this one, even though there are many to choose from. This time they killed a bunch of children…their “own” christians
He didnt answer the question and no mention of Trump in the question. He knows the regime is to blame.
Blah, blah, blah
Really, Ted fuckin’ Cruz talking about blaming the opposition for disasters & relief?!? Hi Pot? This is Kettle….ummmm, you’re black.
Fuck him
Someone should ask him how does giving billions to ICE help Texans during natural disasters?
F him too!!!
The people of Texas chose this guy to represent them. But he doesn’t represent the people, he protects himself.
The GOP engages in partisan politics every single livin' day: Biden economics, Biden immigration failures, demon Dems, "I hate Democrats," radical left-wing communist Democrats, save LA from socialism, ad nauseum.
dolt
This time he was in Greek
He is such a POS! Don't make it about politics unless it happens in a Blue state.
It is never "the time" for these assholes.
STFU Teddy.
So the answer is yes. But Ted Cruz did nothing. Instead Ted went to the border, posed for pics and poured a billion dollars into an immigrant crisis that doesn’t exist.
“The buck stops here.” - Harry Truman Own it Teddy Boy.
Man, Raphael, ur such a Serious Kiss Ass!! Is losing ur self respect worth it?!
Did he answer the question?
How was Greece?? you asshole...
Cancun Cruz doing what he does best.
www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
His answer has nothing to do with the actual question.
Go back to Cancun, Ted.
Fuck you Ted Cruise, you lying bag of shit.
They should limit their questions to stuff like "remember that last emergency here in TX and you couldn't get to the tropics fast enough?"
Because he immediate eliminated hundreds of jobs at NOAA?
I never thought it possible, but he looks worse every time I see him.
The only lesson you can learn is not to vote for donald trump ever again
I put this square on Texas, and I don’t like Trump. www.rawstory.com/texas-lawmak...
This is the same POS *who left his own dog* trapped during the freeze that killed hundreds of Texans a couple years back while he scampered off to Cancun.
What a 💩💩💩💩💩 it is just never their fault
Ok, then it's YOUR STATE and YOUR FAULT.
It was orange felon 47's fault. he allowed Elon and company to cut the NWS. The greed for money is more important to life, as far as he's concern.
Hey reporter, provide the evidence!!!!!!
Did they need to fly Ted back into town for this press conference ? From the bunny ranch in NV. 🐰
It’s the Felon and rethuglicons Fault. All these rethuglicons are chicken 💩 full of lies, disgusting hatred and ready to blame others for everything that’s their fault creating Chaos !!!!!
The same way we can blame him for the plan crashes immediately after gutting the FAA. My god, Ted Cruz is as stupid as he is ugly. What a feat.
When are all these evil bastards going to get the karma they deserve. When are they going to face the same tradgeties as a consequence of their actions.
Tragedies
Now, whenever I see a photo of Ted Cruz, I can only think of the treatment he got from Tom Segura. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
NOW IS the time to talk about this and what callous fucks Republicans are. They caused this tragedy in their red state, knowing their idiot cultists will not complain: "thank you sir, may I have another" is their rallying cry.
I think his guilt and self-loathing, is causing him to take a simple question as an attack on him personally and so he jumps for the high road that he usually eschews to attack the person asking the question! The reporter did NOT mention trump, so cruz brought it to trump's feet, not the reporter!
I wonder if cruz is smart enough to realize that laying it at trump's feet may just be enough to cause trump to put up a plan to cause cruz to be primaried the next time he's up for reelection!
How does this asshole keep getting re-elected? Also, considering the camp was one for privileged girls, their daddies should be calling in favors by close of biz today.
One of the camp girls was from Hunt Oil Co. Should get interesting...
"Senator Cruz, when it rains, it is reasonable to use an umbrella to avoid getting very wet?" "I knew someone would politicize this, you fake news SCUM!"
What a bull shit reply. Can’t wait for him to be voted out.
Bullshit deflections is literally all they do, anymore
Hey, Raphael. Saying that it's not Trump's fault is partisan politics.
They always say this. Usually after a mass shooting. They are hoping people forget and move on so they do not actually have to solve the problem This is not a partisan issue.All of us are deserving of a government responsive to our needs.
Well Rafael, if that is how you feel, hows about you tell your Dear Leader to quit blaming Biden for every damn thing.
It's the standard template answer after a school shooting or any other unpleasantness: "Now is the time to grieve and mourn, and at some undetermined date in the future (never) we can sit down and review the circumstances which led to this (insert tragedy type here) horrific event." About right?
I want to shave his eyebrows off. Who's with me?
STFU 🤬
Gaslight much Ted. Trump took your manhood and your wife knows it.
Fucking weasel.
LOCK THEM UP
Um that dumbass answer had nothing to do with the actual question. Whst a fucking loser.
But Newsom was responsible for the wildfires? Biden and the democrats were responsible for the hurricanes hitting red states? Even MTG suggested that Biden/democrats “manipulated” the weather to HIT red states. Go f**k yourself Ted and Karoline Leavitt too.
When will a reporter push back with a sarcastic comment? “I’m sorry, are you hard of hearing? Let me repeat the question because it’s clear by your answer that you answered a question that wasn’t asked.”
Why do people keep voting in a dump a$$ 🤦🏻♀️
He been denaturalized and sent back to Canada… He is not an American citizen by Trump standards so he needs to just go
Oh wow, he wasn’t in Cancun?
Cruz is such a pos why do they keep voting for him?
Piece of shit
It’s ridiculous to blame the current administration for the cuts they’ve made to vital emergency services, but absolutely acceptable to blame everything under the sun on the last administration.
Such a spineless weasel
I can hear Ted kissing Trump's huge orange ass from here, and I live in California! Cruz is disgusting. He's a miserable excuse for a human.
Ha ha ha!
Really, it's your fault, Rafael Edward.🏝👵💙💛😡
Actually it is the fault of you and every elected official who condoned the cuts to NOOAH...knowing darn well that people would die.
Ted Cruz proving he’s #1 at being a POS.
OK, how about this: "Does anyone now think it was a mistake to fire the 2nd in command at the local #NWS office, whose job title was literally "Warning Coordination Meteorologist", who would have been the person handling local govt. response and media, 2 months before this tragedy?"
