Ted Cruz's crocodile tears over Texas floods don't fool anyone. Caught vacationing at the Parthenon while folks drowned, he claims he rushed back as fast as possible. Flight data proves he could've returned sooner. The man's a shameless liar hiding behind fake sympathy.
Frankly he should have just stayed on vacation for all the good it did him coming home.
It's all happening according to their master plan. Deregulate, squeeze out federal funds, bastardize federal programs, blame those federal programs when disaster strikes (aka FEMA), funnel those funds to ICE's DOJ, eradicate Brown people to appease Stephen Miller, sell land to JD Vance = BLAME GOD.
Yet who are the idiots who keep voting for him, it's ridiculous that he is still there!!!
Leaders are measured by their actions in times of crisis, not by performative sympathy after the fact. Accountability matters Texans deserve better than excuses and delayed concern.
He's a puke.
funny how fled cruz is never around when there's disaster in texas
Send Ted packing There’s a career waiting for him in shoe sales
I hope Heidi joins the divorce bandwagon and spills the tea on Teddy.
he's an asshole
They were probably better off without him.
The lie worked the last time
I’ll never understand why Texans continue to vote for useless Rafael when they could have had Beto instead.
He left before the floods, right? I hate the guy but this seems wrong.
POS
Here in Spain we can top that. Last October, in the midst of a deadly flow (200+ drowned) the governor didn’t give way to the alarm nor was possible to reach him because after a copious lunch he was… fucking a news reporter!!!
Also this is a history with him at least in recent years it would be interesting if someone could sort if he did it in the past when there was less focus on him how many tragedies has he avoided on vacation?
and is he going to actually do anything to help people or prevent this in the future? most likely not. so him and his tears need to be primaried
Yep
crap floats to the surface!
So we calling him Parthenon Cruz now? I bet most of the people in Texas couldn’t afford a trip to Greece.
He’s assuring Texans that he is working tirelessly to get a refund in his vacation. Source- The Onion
And yet Texans just keep voting for this guy. Unbelievable…
Aren't they all liars.
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government." - The Declaration of Independence
Nobody should be surprised at this point He has proven time and time again that he is a slimy human being who only cares about himself The people who enable him are the guilty ones
Tell me Ted Cruz, do you know how many people died in this flood? And about how many were children? Where the fuck is your outrage at FEMA's delayed response?
so heavily ironic he avoids his duties while touring the birthplace of deomcracy.
We all know he’s full of shit.
Unfortunately the people of TX don’t care. Cruz offers nothing of value and can’t provide any help. If he were to be useful he would be on every news outlet criticizing the local sheriff, Noem and Trump while demanding FEMA $. But, sigh he won’t
Shocker? 😏
...the man's a Republican... 'nuff said...
cruz never fails to deliver...lies, crocodile tears, fake outrage, etc. Yep, that's Rafael's mantra.
My conscience is clear i always vote against Ted "Cruise".
And yet, he keeps getting elected.
He needs to go and the people of Texas should recall him
He's a poser!
He is vile.
As long as voters put up with people like Ted Cruz, we won't have a country.
How has that unscrupulous sleazebag not been voted out? He is one of the slipperiest assholes in the Senate, and that’s saying something. He stands for nothing.
Yeah, they rented his room.
What are people so outraged about? This is Ted's signature move. "Be on Vacation and Stay on Vacation" may as well be his only policy and he'll still get re-elected because Texas is full of dumb motherfuckers.
and yet texas keep re-electing him
Haven’t they suffered enough? What situation is ever improved by having Ted Cruz around?
YEP, that is NAZI MAGA goon 'ted cruz' the ENABLER of the "trumpy dumpy NAZI REGIME"
Between Lyin Ted, Hot Wheels and the other guy with the really bad Botox job (BTW his wife just filed for divorce) , Texas is being led by a bunch of sycophants. Texans keeps voting for them … so here we are again 🤬🤬🤬
Being from Oklahoma, I can assure you that we are more committed to horrible governance than Texas…we don’t just compete in football🙄
It does ultimately come down to the voters, n'est ce pas? If you refuse to vote in your own best interests then you get what you deserve, lots of dead children. Tragically, it doesn't have to be this way.
Of course he’s a shameless liar, he’s a Republican.
www.menschlichkeit.life/product/ted-...
Just like fake revenue form tariffs are actually a tax on Americans... The american voted for this... lets not forget they were warned! bsky.app/profile/thet...
Re-elected time and again by the bigoted, poorly-informed, ever-inflamed, and barely American.
While Rome burned Nero fiddled and while Texas flooded Cruz visited the Acropolis.
Is anyone surprised that Cancun Cruz was off dicking around while the people he's supposed to represent were suffering?
On a side note... anyone else notice that Cruz likes to vacation in other countries. Cancun Mex. and Parthenon, Greece. Where to next?
They must fool someone...he keeps getting re-elected.
Rafael regurgitates ridiculous Republican rubbish relentlessly.
#TedMykonosCruz #KillsAgain
Does he ever do anything besides vacation and try to overturn federal elections?
They probably had a couples’ mani pedi booked.
Oh, it fools the texass jackasses who vote for him.
And don’t forget greasy #CancunTed ‼️ #TedCruz #Texas #MissingInAction #Cancun #Greece #Cruz
🤢🤢🤢🤢 It's so hard to fathom that someone willingy had sex with him
How long did he stay in Cancun that one fateful winter?
I think ol Rafael is too unlikeable to be invited anywhere.
Then why else would he keep kissing the Ring?
Shameful Liar!
He is a typical maga—power and no heart
He consistent.
Texans are so stupid.
At least he didn’t leave the family dog in a freezing house this time. Maybe he left him some food???? What a useless twat!
💙🐈⬛🐈💙 People keep voting this dirt into office! Sad.
Jesus! I was going to eat lunch here in a few🤢
💙🐈🐈⬛💙 Glad I could help!😂
Remember Cancun!
Who gives a fuck.
Oh wow! Does that guy do anything besides vacationing? We call him Cacun Cruz here in Texas, as he was down in Mexico vacationing in Cancun with his family when the "Snowmageddon" freeze event knocked out power to so many thousands Texans a few years back.
I'm so tired of his lies
Teddy teddy teddy, ur full of 🪹
A lot of people can't afford groceries or healthcare while Ted Cruz is always vacationing. He should burn in hell.
Someone should send him there. Openly challenge him, it's legal for Texans to duel in Texas
Cancun Cruz is now Parthenon Cruz?! He is simply a Cuban Cruz!
It's not even fake empathy, it's his only way to seem like he's actually doing anything for the people of Texas . He doesn't care about his constituents, if he had an ounce of empathy, he'd be there manning a search team.
He’s always on vacation. Even when he’s here.
Rafael Cruz does not care about his constituents
CANCUN CRUZ (REMEMBER?) LOOKS LIKE PORKY PIG IN PANTS.
Cancun Cruz strokes again. Watch him blame it on his children again.
🤮🤮🤬🤬
And yet...Texans keep re electing it
Who would admit to voting for this cretin?
As long as the hypoChristians spend 1 hour a day 1 day a week praying to be absolved of their sins and the sprintz of that special water, nothing else matters.
I don’t believe “man” is being used in the proper context here. He isn’t one.
Doesn't have to fool anyone. His voters will only care which letter is next to the name on the ballot. He could be caught with his dick in a dead hooker, and they'd still vote for him over *any* Democratic candidate.
Thank you, Anonymous.
Let’s see who they vote for at the next election, should be very telling JS 👵🏼✊🏽
He's a lowlife piece of shit who didn't have the balls to stand up for his wife.
Ted Cruz didn’t return until Sunday night. The floods happened on Thursday night through Friday. The sucker was seen touring the Parthenon two days after the floods.
It’s also rich considering that he voted to gut NWS and NOAA, and screamed loudly that California fire victims should not receive FEMA disaster relief. He’s a miserable skidmark. I can’t believe this troll beat Beto O’Rourke. Gerrymandering for sure.
If they want to be inspired, let them climb a mountain. If they want government to function, they should vote for people who believe in governmental function, which is Dems, as opposed to Repubs
I remember a time when politicians actually had to earn the votes they got rather than feel entitled to them just through party loyalty or stopping something worse. This country has been in decline a long time.
Yes, but reform involves going with what we know works. If things ever get back to the time you remember, then we can be more selective
We know having politicians beholden to voters rather than donors works. Until we overturn Citizens United and reform campaign finance, we’re going to have an apathetic electorate who don’t bother voting at all. It sucks, but here we are.
Texans wanted Cancun Cruz I heard many Democrats complaining about Colin Allred - so a lot of them stayed home One things Republicans DON’T do? Is stay home on Election Day
It’s true—Democrats like to feel inspired, and I don’t blame them for that. But I’m older and more jaded so I go and vote against the Repugs even if I’m not super impressed by whatever bland corporate technocrat the Dems are offering up.
“Likes to feel inspired” It’s so lame if it determines whether one votes Ppl need not ask “how did we get here?” Because if you don’t “feel” inspired and stayed your ass home ? In local state and federal elections ? That’s how But let them carry on while MaGA voters VOTE
I agree, but I also understand why they’re fed up with what Dems are offering lately in all contests, because I sure am. I honestly believe voting in national and local elections in this country should be mandatory like in Australia and Election Day should be a paid holiday.
OFC we’re fed up! Personally I’m SICK of Democrats and their weak ass shit But I also wouldn’t let Cancun Cruz win the US Senate seat because Colin Allred didn’t inspire me 🙄💀 Sooo.. that’s on them 🤷🏽♀️
Agreed. It’s shit but it’s what we got. Hopefully we can come up with something better…like overturning Citizens United and making our pols do what voters want rather than servicing their donors.
Overturning CU won’t happen until we have the majority in both chambers, and the EB And THAt won’t happen if Democrats refuse to vote because they feel uninspired And that’s the reality
Totally agree. I’ve only been making observations here of what seems to be happening—that lack of inspiration is what is keeping voters home. Given current conditions, it’s a dumb choice.
Oh I know I wasn’t suggesting you agree with the nonsense
Yep I do not get this just not voting. Allred was a good candidate… it makes no sense keep someone who is an absolute pos who Does Not care about people instead of giving someone else a chance.
Yeah idk what Texans want ? Beto was good Allred was good What kind of inspiration do folks need? My God
The strict voter ID laws in Texas help only incumbents…and when they closed 100’s of polling places and limited drop boxes in Harris and Travis…well repubs will do anything to hold onto to power or the billionaires who control them and buy them will…
No doubt ! And when Texans stay home during local elections - b/c they “feel uninspired” this the consequence. If losing your rights, redistributing congressional maps, being left to freeze to death, enormous electric bills, drowning to your death - if THOSE things don’t “inspire” you to vote? 🤷🏽♀️
It should be easier to vote in Texas! But yes - should not miss local elections either!
It should be easier to vote in predominately black areas I have family and friends that live in the ATL. They stand in lines for HOURS to cast their vote- hours! There’s a lot of things that “should be” - but aren’t
But we need to get these cheating bastards out.
I agree. And I wish people would realize that for change to happen they have to show up ans vote. That being said I still would like to see the day that Texas has drop boxes in many locations like Colorado.
Sending Ted Cruz to a disaster area is the political equivalent of sending a two week old balloon bouquet. Deflated ,nobody cares and one more useless gesture to deal with.
He’ll be re-elected, again…..
Treasonous Shitweasel
Just out of interest, did he let somebody dog sit this time. I'm sure Nome would have been available.
All in line with "fearless" "leader". They must all use the same scriptwriter.
And to think they could have has Allerd. Even after his scumness went to Cancun during a extreme winter storm. FAFO
People froze to death in an extreme freeze when the grid had trouble. He flew his fat ass to Cancun. He didn't stick around to help his constituents.
And Texas keeps electing him. This was after Cancun. Texas.🤷♀️
Texas deserves him and the total waste of skin Abbott! They just DID NOT deserve the death & destruction but, Elections have consequences!
This election literally rigged. musk admitted it even
Texans don't care. They'll keep electing him. Kerr County is true believer MAGA country. Clearly, they'll sacrifice everything to own the libs.
Not only does he have the creepy Preacher voice he has the fake tears he can turn on like a water faucet.Somehow the fake preachers all have that inate ability.
He only needs to fool the apathetic and the uninformed at election time. His supporters don’t care primarily about victims and his detractors wouldn’t vote for him anyway. The rest aren’t paying attention.
Cruz got busted doing the Cancun shuffle during the Big Texas Freeze a few years back. He's consistently shown to be nothing more than a YUGE useless bag of bullshit. Yet, despite all that, Texans send him back to the Senate. I have zero sympathy for them. They get the results they voted for.
OK, we all love to bash POS Cruz, but what actual difference would it have made if he was there? He would take a look, deliver a bullshit speech, slink away. BFD!
Cruz is such a piece of shit! And his cynical slap in the face to his constituents by saying vacationing is how he grieves. He just got reelected for a 3rd term (God knows why) so I guess that's why he feels safe in making such an uncaring remark. Why do people keep voting for these assholes!?
Typical self-serving MAGA phony
Hey now, Rafael was a self-serving phony before MAGA
And sadly Texas deserves him.
It astonishes me that anyone votes for him. He’s universally hated. He does nothing for his constituents. But he makes a fortune in bribes from lobbyists who make sure he’s elected. The misnamed “Citizens United”killed Democracy long before Trump.
Crocodile Tears Cruz should be detained in Alligator Alcatraz…crocodiles and alligators are closely related…GOP politicians and criminals are very closely related, as well…..
Smarmy Ted!
I can't figure out how those people in Texas can keep voting for someone who runs every time a disaster hits his state🤔
And yet these folks continue to vote for him so…..?
Why the hell they keep this man in office, is beyond me! They keep him representing Texas, they're getting exactly what they voted for.
And yet Texans keep on voting for him 😜🤪🤣😝😖😔🤔🥺😩😭😡🥵
He nothing but another liar for Trump. How he keeps getting elected is astounding.
He’s laughing behind his fake tears
Typical Repugnant sGOP
And this surprises you, why?
What’s it say about Texans who keep voting the fker back in ! I’m just trying to understand from a distance .. Incompetent abusive and he can’t even defend his wife’s honour !!
Do you have anything to report on the election interference ( county to state voter tallies) by Leo’s software andMusk/Putin?
And fake religion
As a Texan, this motherfucker is a disgrace. The worthless fuck isn't even a Texan. He's a fucking carpetbagger from the north is a perfect description. Why he got reelected is beyond me. I bet he would give old dirty dick trump one of his daughters as forgiveness?? *(yup, I said it and will again)🤣
🤮
I think he took his scheduled flight home.
Yeah, how come he keeps getting re elected? Maybe Texas and Ted deserve each other? Between him, Governor Hot wheels, and Ken Paxton, Texas seems like a state made for corruption.
What a drama queen, Cancun Ted!
Yet Texas keeps voting for him to their own peril. Sad.
Someone needs to photoshop Rafael's face on this: (Remember: the GOP dislike fake identities)
Does anyone remember when he vacationed while Texans froze? I remember.
Ted has zero interest in the Senate and his constituents. He's been a lady-in-waiting for the presidency since 2016.
That guy is fucking worthless. If somebody called my wife ugly and said that my late father killed Kennedy, I would handle that situation differently. President or no.
They will still vote for him.
Watching from the other side of the country,horrified by the overwhelming amount of the children lost, I became enraged as this man stated that he had just picked up his girl from the camp a week earlier. It was heartless. Came off as:Hey, I’m Senator Cruz,I got my kid out,poor you guys.Oh well.😤🤯
He did it while Texans were freezing, and they still reelected him. With no consequences, the cruelty just gets worse. GOP doesn't give a fuck about anyone but themselves and trump.
He's as big a POS as the rest of 'em
I forgot he won in 2024 because he shouldn’t have. He does absolutely nothing for the people of Texas. I wouldn’t vote for him if I only considered energy costs. I asked people I know that live there and all of them (different regions) said there are NO EMERGENCY SIRENS
He always runs from helping
There was nothing wrong with coming back on his scheduled flight— but he had to LIE about it. He can’t help himself because that’s what Republicans do— they LIE about EVERYTHING! 🤬🚩🚩🚩
Ted Cruz has always been the smelly asshole in the outhouse
Expose his back door relationship with Lauren Boebert.
Back door is probably right
Rushed is right. He walked briskly through the airport terminal. It was a "non-stop" walk as he blew past the gift shoppe and the Chili's.
#TX & #RedStates get what they voted for. republican Texans voting for #Dems sends a message. Why don't #TX voters do it?
And Texans will still re-elect him. They’ve been brainwashed to view Democrats as immoral, socialist “others.” Too many will vote Republican or they won’t vote at all.
I'd much rather them not vote at all and for the large percentage of voters that don't vote at all to finally get involved. Also, hopefully our Hispanic population will stop voting Republican as Felon 34 is sending the ICE Gestapo after them.
Well, he's a member of the GOP. Would you expect him to do anything other than like if their lips are moving they are lying.
I like Ted Cruz more than most people in Congress and I hate Ted Cruz. Al Franken.
Athena would gladly give him a curse but he is already cursed with stupidity. He is not welcome at The Parthenon or anywhere else.
Not an ounce of sincerity in that thing!
That’s a dyed in the wool Republican
You said it, another in a long line of right-wing phonies. Crocodile tears from a faker.
Ted personally wrote the part of the bill about cuts to national weather service. HE WROTE THE CUTS HIMSELF
To B fair, millions of Texans don't want him back
that wont stop him from getting reelected
Nope.
I respect that but just like the people here in KY with Mitch. Texas keeps electing him
Why’d get reelected? More did?
Me & my friends are just astonished as w/ the last cpl decades Texas had elected & re-elected hateful christofascist bigots. Women & minorities voting their own rts away, etc. 2 B fair, gerrymandering has long been a problem in TX, & churches activitely promote Republicans. Ppl seem to think this...
...new. Here, during the 2008 election, the local 1st Baptist church had signs on the freeway - signs which identified them as the promoter - which said ppl who vote 4 Obama wld go 2 Hell. They called Wendy Davis "Abortion Barbie" when she filibustered the Texas Senate 2 protest health care...
Churches acting like that! DEPLORABLE!
It’s the way the Biblical religions were formed. It’s why men that have no interest in religion (cough, cough TRUMP) like to use it to try and justify their existence and why women should b servants to them. It’s convenient and easier for them
...restrictions which KILL women. These rt-wing extremists get elected & re-elected in Texas & the only explanation me & my friends can come up w/ is that Texas has a large population which doesn't vote, & a large population of NeoNazi misogynist bigoted christofascists.
I mean, all this is what happens when u DON’T hold people accountable and u keep voting them in. If WE all have to suffer for their choices, so should they. And that is NOT “celebrating” children dying
Agree
Fuck him.
Consider him re-elected by idiots of Texas!!!!
Yep
I dont trust texas counting votes worth shit
Don't expect to get any truth from the man as he's republican and lying is there first language.
AND THEY'LL STILL VOTE FOR HIM..
Ted is a fraud
He really just wants to be a podcaster
Total POS
He's the true definition of what a scum is.
What else is new? At this point it’s just tiring. If people in Texas want that shit, it’s on them.
He's a punk.
Don't forget that he gave a presser before he left assuring Texans he voted against enhanced weather warning system in the name of saving them the expense.
They keep voting for this guy, so....
No, we don’t keep voting for him. Ask the governor how he keeps getting away with this.
Let me tell ya 'bout a Ted cruise. His weasel words are all a slick ruse. Don't give a damn that you're black and blue. He's sipping vintage wine & Chartreuse.
everyone with a few gray cells who live in any state BUT TEXAS, knows Ted Cruz for who he is, what his ethics are, and how he really feels about Heidi, his wife.
performative empathy, that slug can’t choke up a real concern when there’s nothing in it for him
And yet he manages to get reelected
This ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Just like Trump and the rest of the Republicans.
He's ALWAYS been a shameless liar. Yet, he was re-elected. People must not make the same mistake again.
I think you underestimate Texans appreciation of vanity and glorification of vacation. I think most Texans are thinking something like "He is vacationing for our financial sins"
This guy must be a soothsayer, every time he leaves town, disaster follows.
#FledCruz always on a vacation when any disaster occurs in Texas but Texans keep electing this clown 🤡
Sympathy doesn’t count when it’s delivered from a hotel balcony in Greece and followed by lies.
Cruz always puts on a theatrical performance! This one was the over the top worst! So obvious! 🤢
Every time!! He is a hypocritical, lying coward! Why the hell do they keep voting for his miserable ass!?!
Asshole
On another note thanks for making America great again by spending holiday money in Europe. Hope he flew European airline.
I have no problem with him taking a vacation. My problem is him leisurely continuing that vacation and trying to gaslight everyone that he hustled his fat ass home.
Thank you for not posting his picture. My high blood pressure also thanks you.
That sad petty man is a US Senator. He had all kinds of options to return to Texas when disaster struck. Skipping his tour of the Parthenon was not an option for Cruz.
His spirit is decayed
Just like the rest of the gop: following the liar in chiefs model.
