Ted Cruz defends his infamous Cancún vacation & OMG is he trying to lose reelection???
admitted the vacay was “obviously a mistake” and returned after one day. But now, the anti-LGBTQ+ politician is emboldened. While speaking over the weekend at The Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, he defended his absurd actions.
His argument essentially boils down to the following: “I would’ve been useless, anyway!”Who’s excited to vote for this dedicated public servant in 2024?“When we had a freeze–when the state was frozen–I don’t have the ability to control the weather,” he said, with the crowd audibly groaning. “I don’t have the ability to string power lines.
I was at home with my mom and my daughters. Our power was out like everyone else. So I made the decision to take my kids to the beach.”Holy shit.
An audience just LAUGHED at Ted Cruz over Cancun. This is humiliating. pic.twitter.com/EAYcS7xyGdUnfortunately, most of the millions of Texans who were without electricity and running water during January 2021 didn’t have the option to jump on a plane and escape to warmer ground.
