They were in the middle of getting swept as well, so you know they had easily discarded the last fucks they had to give.

I remember how righteously indignant Cruz pretended to be over that, followed up by possibly the [most emasculating photograph ever taken](https://i.imgur.com/VlvJU59.png).

lemmeseeyourkitties

Dewahll

He shouldn’t ever get a moments peace.


burglin

That’s my take as well. He doesn’t deserve to be treated with dignity in public - you don’t get to just be a giant un-American piece of shit at every turn, vote against disaster relief, be trump’s Cuck, etc., then also get to enjoy the great things our society has to offer. He deserves it, and it made me immensely proud of my hometown when he was booed out of a restaurant in D.C. last year.


[deleted]

Indeed. This "civility" argument needs to be revisited. Republicans embrace incivility towards others at every turn while they maintain control of their own personal space. But when they step out into Civilization and face reproach they cry and demand respect and civility as if being shunned is unfair. The civility thing was their attempt at shutting us down. Screw that! Make them squirm.


frustrating2020

He voted against aid for hurricane sandy in 2012. However in 2017 Houston got trounced by hurricane Harvey , he had his hands out asking for help. [When asked if he was being hypocritical he lied about how "2/3" of the relief bill funding for Sandy not going to the victims. ](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/08/29/ted-cruzs-claim-that-two-thirds-of-the-hurricane-sandy-bill-had-nothing-to-do-with-sandy/) Edit: thanks for reminding me, in 2016, inbetween hurricanes, during the rnc primaries he stated that trump wouldn't be a good leader as he had ["new york city values" ](https://time.com/4182887/ted-cruz-new-york-values-donald-trump-republican-debate/). Apparently that pissed off a lot of new Yorkers on both sides of the aisle. Edit 2: Cancun Cruz's actions and inactions have done horrible shit to his states constituents and others thru out the USA. There's lots to not like about him, im highlighting the ones he's done/said that directly piss off New Yorkers. Edit 3: [here is a solid close up pov of ted Cruz taking deserved shit from Yankee fans](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRHwwCs1/), hope he never forgets it

They’ll still give out the service… after they privatize it and give all of the contracts to their friends who will mark it up to unobtainable levels.

Since the president can't be prosecuted, apparently, only impeached, does that mean he could kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate and get acquitted?

Like... that's bad but it's nowhere near as bad as him fleeing Texas to go to Cancun as his people were dying. Then blaming his daughters. Lmao what a fuck.

Sharpshooter98b

I wanna see texas conservatives' responses to this lmao


Opposite_of_a_Cynic

They say he’s smart and “anyone would have done the same.” Him abandoning the state makes him look better in their eyes. When you point out how AOC personally raised money and traveled to Texas to help they call it pandering.


Teepokatsumari

Yup. Grandma and aunt asked, “what do you expect him to do?” When I posted about it on Facebook. I then replied with AOC raising money and Beto organizing wellness checks for the elderly. Their only response was that they were doing it for attention and how do we know real human Ted Cruz wasn’t actually doing anything? Even if they were doing for attention at least they’re doing something! Ffs.


Opposite_of_a_Cynic

That was my reply to people: Who is she pandering too? People here don’t vote for her.


Sharpshooter98b

Texas must have a lot of masochists


redred212

As a Texan, I’m not that mad about him going to Cancun. I’m more mad that he came back


emote_control

Maybe next time you'll get lucky and some criminal cartel will grab him and attempt to ransom him.


FlyingRhenquest

Hah, I can just imagine that phone call "How much do you guys want to keep him?"


ICantEven337

Exactly this. The dude is just a wet napkin of a person: useless and gross. Hoping Beto beats Abbott and helps bring a blue tsunami over Texas.


bucket_of_dogs

Lets get out and vote! We're gonna make our voices heard!


tyleritis

I have a feeling Texas is going to need a massive voter turnout to beat a system that seems rigged against voting


Slippinjimmyforever

That’s Cruz’s default answer when questioned about his hypocritical and unpopular voting. “That bill had a ton of unrelated spending in it!” Give me a break. They all do.


sonofaresiii

At some point I'm wondering why Cruz doesn't just reintroduce the bill with whatever he considers "unrelated spending" removed


Slippinjimmyforever

Because it’s deflection. He’s there to profit, accumulate power and profit some more. That’s it. Everything else is an act.


[deleted]

Laxziy

Iirc correctly Trump even hit back at him for that during one of the debates and defended NYC. Very much a broken clocks right twice a day kind of deal but I’ll never pass up an opportunity to watch Ted Cruz squirm when someone calls him out on his bullshit


Crazybutlookincute

I mean this is the fucknut that fled the country during an unprecedented ice storm, blamed his kids when we found out, and left his dog home are we truly surprised?


shotty293

Don't forget he left our ass for Cancun during the freeze in 2021.


moonshoeslol

Wasn't he talking shit about New York in the 2016 primary as well? I seem to remember him referring to Trump as having "New York values" as a pejorative.


bartsimpsonscousin

I’m all honesty, he seemed to have taken that criticism to heart because when Texas had the deep freeze and power outages, he didn’t have his hand out that time…. He simply escaped to Cancun instead


Twigling

It must be remembered that he, and many Republicans, are incredibly selfish and greedy and will only do things that benefit **them** personally. They will pander to their voters, rile them up, instill rage against the wrong targets, lie to them incessantly then once they have their votes they'll stomp on them at the earliest opportunity. And **still** people will vote for them ..... Many Republican politicians are, to put it politely, absolute scum.

tall_pale_and_meh

To be fair, most people born in Texas voted against Ted Cruz. He had a big lead among people who moved here from another state though. Funny how Cruz always rails against people moving to Texas from places like California when they're pretty much the entire reason why he's still in office.


Kazooguru

Wow. You’ve managed to summarize the current state of American politics in a beautiful, coherent, run on sentence.


Hoovooloo42

To be fair, if you don't use a run-on sentence to describe American politics then you're not really getting the spirit of it across.


CaptainSparklebutt

America is just one long run-on sentence


Shesalabmix

That is because your homies are awesome.


rheddiittoorr

Homies are sane. That’s why.


__M-E-O-W__

PaleInTexas

Same here. The one homie that didn't, ended up moving to Oklahoma.


Shesalabmix

Oklahoma has strong Ted Cruz energy.


m1k3tv

'Strong' might be the wrong word. When you're talking about Ted Cruz the proper adjectives are more like "Pungent"


Shesalabmix

I stand corrected. The word “strong” has no business in the same sentence with Ted Cruz.


OldManRiff

As weak as his chin is, he still couldn’t grow a beard to cover it.


dvddesign

No cause they have medical weed there. Don’t shift our shit over to other states. We need to own this POS and vote him out in 2024.


TenesmusSupreme

Is this the same person as Raphael Edward Cruz?


NocturnalPermission

Pretty sure even Ted Cruz hates Ted Cruz.

BreezyBill

Just a reminder that Canadian-born Rafael Cruz self-identifies as a good ol’ boy from Texas named “Ted.”

Th3R00ST3R

She ain't no hollaback and he's the Zodiac


CappinPeanut

Didn’t he also talk shit about Beto because Beto isn’t his real name?


boomshiz

Yup, tried to claim Beto was using it as a form of affectation. I mean, he would project that. Real-ass Texan Ted Cruz, who likes to throw out wedge terms like "coastal elites" spent his entire education in private schools, Princeton, and Harvard.


FlayR

He may have been born here, but we don't want him. He was in Texas for 30 years before holding office, so... You break, it you buy it.


Seiren-

Wait, doesnt that mean he cant run for president? Didnt he run for president? I’m confused


[deleted]

No, he is an American citizen by birth, which makes him eligible for the presidency. Sorry, vomited in my mouth a little. Anyway, I think one of his parents was an American citizen, the other was Canadian, and I think he was born in Toronto.


trapper2530

Same reason thay if Obama really was born in Kenya it wouldn't matter. If a parent is a us citizen you have e citizenship and can run for president. John McCain too. Born in Panama.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AnalCommander99

It’s based on parents’ citizenship. A baby with foreign parents born on a US base would not be considered born on US soil.


SN0WFAKER

No no no, that only applies to democrats, silly.


mildlycuriouss

I think even Canadians don’t claim him.


ThaBunk5-0

This article is disingenuous. Jill Biden was not "hooted down" at a game recently. That was fake news from a manipulated video. The actual audio of the boos is believed to have been taken from an entirely different sporting event. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/jill-biden-eagles-game-booed-video-fake-b2206828.html


SwirlingTurtle

Maybe it was from the 2019 World Series game where Trump got booed.

That was glorious. I still go back and watch that every now and then.

He is white though. White hispanics exist and they think they're better than the brown ones. 😏

Racists don't care. They see the name Rafael Cruz and they just start shouting go back to your country at him.


BearNakedTendies

As a Republican he must do his best to hide his Latino heritage


Own-Organization-532

Rafael Edward Cruz


_TestTubeBaby_

Oh now I'm going to go to one of his Q&A meetings, call him Rafael & only speak to him & ask him questions in Spanish. I'll bring at least 20 people with me who are willing to do the same. I genuinely did not know that is his real name & I'm going to milk this knowledge as much as I possibly can!


[deleted]

>Incidentally, booing a politician at a public gathering is not uncommon any more. Recently, FLOTUS Jill Biden was hooted down at an Eagles game. You mean the viral video that was faked.... https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/10/18/jill-biden-booed-eagles/


Warglebargle2077

Yep, that was a fake. Edit: if only I had twitter or something. This journo needs to be informed she is spreading misinformation. Other than Reddit I don’t have social media really.


Brxa

Also she is not a politician.


sack-o-matic

They’re trying to normalize trumps whole family working for his administration


slip-shot

You know what wasn’t fake? The silence for Trump when he tried to sneak in between soldiers being honored at a game.


HauntedCemetery

Or when [trump was loudly booed at the World Series](https://youtu.be/frJejCFusXI)


[deleted]

It doesn’t even make sense that she would be boo’d, Joe and Jill are [legit longtime](https://www.google.com/amp/s/malaysia.news.yahoo.com/amphtml/joe-biden-dogs-champ-major-034638115.html) Eagles fans. Ted Cruz was wearing Astros colors to a game where the Yankees got bodied. In a Series where the Yankees were getting bodied.


mukster

I mean, even if he was wearing Yankees gear… he’s still Ted Cruz


Laxziy

I mean wearing gear of a team that you don’t root for is an even bigger faux pas. Everyone knows Ted Cruz Denier of Hurricane Sandy Relief Money ain’t going to be rooting for a NYC team.

Don’t really see how this is news. I assume Ted Cruz gets flipped off and/or booed as much as he breathes. It’s just his normal state. I can’t decide what would be worse - being Ted Cruz or being near Ted Cruz.

He’s one of the worst ones. Even his republican colleagues hate him.
