Texas Grocery Stores, Food Banks Struggle With Supply Shortage | The Last Word | MSNBC
Cruz couldn’t think of any way he could use his power as a US Senator to help Texans in need? So he flees to get running water, food supply, electricity and heating for his family. 🙄Good luck to his constituents.
Over the wall he wanted to build
@yaya centella 💯👏🏼
Ted Cruz fled to Cancun while Beto, who wasn’t even elected, organized volunteers and donations and helped call over 800,000 seniors to check on them and get them what they need.
It goes to show how rude that turd is it would be like your neighbor putting up a fence but still just walks over in your yard when ever he wants
As if you had the means to you wouldn’t…..
Texans only prepared by buying guns and bullets..smh
And the gun companies are getting richer everytime there’s political issues.
Funny
Tell them that lol
Texans love eating bullets I guess.
Assuming the suitcase Ted brought back from Mexico was full of tacos, then it was nice of him to lend Texas a helping hand. 😉 😅😂
Sure it was, burritos and nachos too
Border is wide open tacos will be main diet
No to be rude, but in the future: don’t elect Ted Cruz. Karma.
@JohnnyBoy3000 then they got what they deserve. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Texas elected Cruz, they get a hiding coward who won’t help them. The world is as it should be.
@JohnnyBoy3000 100% correct, Texans elected these people into office….as the saying goes “you reap what you sow!” Ted and the rest of the crew are sitting warm and comfortable in their big homes thinking “what a bunch of sorry losers, I think I’ll go somewhere nice when the losers forget about this mess”
Almost half the people that voted didn’t want Ted Cruz. Some of us know how useless he is.
Or Greg Abbott.
Or any party or tRumper.
Perhaps Cancun Cruz can bring relief from Mexico to Texas? 🤔
Oh wait, Clownernor Abbott would rather see texans perish than accepting outside help, like a failed state should.
My heart goes to the people but not to their rulers
I see sun, send them solar panels!
🤣🤣🤣🤣Right? They better get with it.
There is a tragedy in Texas. When things improve, they will either address it or resort to rhetoric of deregulation and individualism and waiting for the next disaster.
Conservatives are all talk. They said the same things the last 2 times this happened and nothing changed. Republican politicans only care about their donors. The oil companies.
@Terry Fulds The deregulation and choices led to not being prepared. The politicians did not look out for the people. But what of the people? Didn’t they enable?
@William Franz yeah, proof that education in red states is severely lacking.
@Terry Fulds You get what you pay for
Isn’t part of Cruz’s job to fund raise? Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a Democrat for NY, raised 2 million in 24 hrs!
🇺🇸bless Texas and Biden and AOC
Biden and AOCRAZY
Yeah, Cruz will fund raise…for his next trip to Cancun!
I have yet to hear any of these gentlemen that are being interviewed about this Texas crisis thank AOC for the work she has done by raising a million dollars for the state I have yet to hear one representative from that state thank her maybe it’s a page through more news something will come up you know the governor might speak up and say thank you AOC.
The governor of Texas is blaming AOC for the Green New Deal and that’s why they have no power.
And the grocery stores are gouging us also
Nice view. I remember empty shelves in my country in 80’s due to american sanctions. It lasted nine years. Karma is back in Texas.
Yeah this looks like a situation from a third world country is this how Texas wants to be viewed to the world. From a little cold snap really.
And the Republican Senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, ran away to Mexico. Some patriot.
How ironic that a Republican senator, or congressman not sure I’m British exactly what he is, runs away to Mexico, but then backed a guy who wanted to build a wall & keep Mexicans out, wow the irony is hilarious, I bet there’s alot of Mexicans who will be climbing back over the wall, America is becoming a third world country, thought we had it bad here in Britain and Europe, clearly not !
I am a Texan. I didn’t vote for Cruz.
This is what happens when you elect people like Ted Cruz into office.
Why!? What did he do!? Other than leave ? Green propellers couldn’t keep up they need diesel fuel not wind!?
If you ever feel dumb, just remember there are people out there who voted for Ted Cruz.
LOL!
🇺🇸bless Texas and Biden🇺🇸
You mean big, bad Texas is NOT its own country after all? 😯
Imagine that🤔
When a NY rep cares more abt helping than ur own us senator , yk it’s time to make some leadership changes
