So he toured the Parthenon during 4th of July weekend, 24 hours AFTER people were caught in the flood.

Rafael Cruz just doesn’t love Americans does he?

    Celebrating independence day touring Europe after supporting a fascist who is the antithesis of “independence” and the embodiment of everything Americans fought against.

    Shitty American.

      He’s in tight with O&G, his wife literally works for Goldman Sachs, and he’s jumped into Opus Dei. The man has more money and institutional support than any three other Senators you could name, despite being a turd in the Texas punch bowl the rest of the year.

      Meanwhile, his most competent opponents have been the Skateboarding Take Your Guns guy chanting “demographics is destiny” to a bunch of conservative Latinos and the Linebacker in sheriff cosplay who ran on being tougher on the border than Republicans.

      When your options are constantly Republican or Republican Lite, is there any surprise when the Republican wins?

    Fuck him and his constituents, they love the abuse. If they didn’t they would have gotten rid of him the first dozen times he did this shit. At this point it’s Cruz’s trademark to run away during a crisis. And Texas fucking loves it.

    On a side note, how does big bad Texas have such a soft, wimpy, sad excuse for a man as their rep? Maybe he represents the true Texan man

      Grovel and beg for forgiveness after actively cutting NOAA budget? Personally drive a truck full of food/water/clothing for people displaced? Literally just show up and offer your condolences to your contituents (regardless of how obviously fake it’d be)?

      Like, basic human things you should be doing to show that you care about the people you supposedly represent? Vs: fuck it, I’m on vacation, they’ll still be dead when I get home.

      Guess what: politicians for all their grand standing about lazy entitled welfare recipients work about 130 total days a year, he can go see the parthenon some other time.

    I mean it sure takes some time for the news to get from America to Europe. Probably like a day or two, right?
