The eldest son of the former president questioned why people are focusing on Cruz instead of Democratic governors Newsom and Cuomo.

In a tweet sharing the video, Trump Jr wrote:"The hypocrisy of those trying to cancel Ted Cruz who have been totally silent on their Democrat Governor's incompetence is telling. My thoughts on the Cancún Cruz faux outrage."

When Cruz returned to the U.S. on Thursday, he admitted to reporters that he had originally planned to stay in Mexico until the weekend. "I didn't want all the screaming and yelling about this trip to distract even one moment from the real issues that I think Texans care about, which is keeping all of our families safe,"Trump Jr.'s team has been contacted for further comment.

Donald Trump Jr., son of U.S. President Donald Trump, speaks during a Republican National Committee Victory Rally at Dalton Regional Airport January 4, 2021 in Dalton, Georgia. Trump Jr. has defended Sen. Ted Cruz over his trip to Cancun as Texas copes with a severe winter storm.

Its all the citizens job to care for thy neighbor. Will you be standing at the church with a bible in your hand too? Those Christian values you all scream about?!

Who cares

Donald Trump Jr another 👿⁉️like his Dad!!

Optics bitch

Dude! Shouldn’t you be getting that porridge in your head replaced with a real brain? Ohh! Just dawned on me! The freebies must be gone now, since dad got royally FIRED!!

Why do we even have to know what the moron thinks! Post something else about these soulless people and you will have one less follower.

Why is Newsweek making the Trump's relevant? I don't see articles about the Clinton kid, Bush kids, Obama kids. Let it go already. Write articles about intelligent Americans.

Who cares what this idiot says?! He’s a total and utter joke. Sniiiiiiiff

You mean do what Trump Sr., did which is nothing during pandemic During the crisis all Trump did was blame blame blame and golfing. During Texas crisis Cruz left the country and only returned because he was seen going away

Excuses! It’s everyone’s job. Texas has become a Republican haven, somehow it’s all so wrong! This is left over from the Trump administration where freedom is championed by lackluster government excuses! Yet the only ones free are wealthiest!

Why is Newsweek amplifying this douche?

Then why does he begs for votes from Texans during elections?

Maybe he wants to be like his dad

That don't surprise me that little weasel would defend LIEING FLYING TED, there both two peas in a pod... Worthless.👎👎

Newsweak can cover these Shitholes every week and no one gives a shit!

NOBODY LIKES TED CRUZ..NOR THE TRUMP'S IN MÉXICO.

Don Jr. should just shut it.

Great photo! 😆

Shut the hell upppp

A chip off the old block. That’s for sure.

A new shipment just came in

Please don’t give him air

Dear government and all the statists LEAVE US PEOPLE ALONE!

WHICH MEANS HE WOULD MAKE THE SAME BAD DECISION. POOR JUDGEMENT IS OBVIOUSLY HEREDITARY. IS THERE ANYONE DONALD TRUMP'S IMMEDIATE FAMILY THAT WHEN CONFRONTED WITH A CHOICE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG, WITHOUT ANY PERSONAL GAIN, CHOOSES RIGHT.

Rehab. Check in time.

Why do you continue to report what idiots say?

Upid covering for StUpid it’s a weather crisis him staying or going the results would have been the same he did what many of us would of done get our family to safety ........but he still suck

He would.

O BS. History is full of senators that went to their states in times of crisis and this is the worst Texas ever experienced. How can someone who does not care about people represent them in senate? Trump jr is covering for him as Cruz did for his dad! DumondVince griffin_ghia

Why print what he spews..... Why 🤷‍♂️

He does not get it.

NOBODY CARES WHAT JUNIOR THINKS

Of course he defends him, never heard the phrase “thick as thieves”

Has Don Jr ever had a real job?

Can we please get Donald Jr. some help, some Zanax, rehab, straight jacket, whatever?

Who cares what he says about anything! Stop putting what he says out there, because nobody cares!

He really has a big mouth, doesn't he?

So is Donald Trump Jr blaming GovAbbott for what is going on and saying he should b taking care of Texas? Well he is right about that but Abbott should stop making deals to put money in his pockets at the expense n lives of Texans he is suppose 2 care about.

Lock him up . . . lock him up . . . lock him up . . . the cancer is spreading.

..legally🤦🏽‍♀️ (not to be misunderstood)

Setting himself up to run? Real vocal lately. I’ll vote again and again and again😁😁💯❤️

A face not even a mother could love

Don't see how people think that the world would not be better if these people were not here.

Correct...with support

Throw don jr over the wall, we do not need his babbling.

He is irrelevant and clueless!! Ignore what he said.

Why is anything this prick says news?

What else do you expect him to say. So the 'Emperor can continue to snore while Rome burns'. Irresponsible lot!

So who really cares what Donny jr thinks... 👎🤔🤭

I don’t agree. He is on the national scene, most known in the GOP from Texas. When you speak over his fault, present lame reasons why he should be let off.. shows that you are part of the problem not the solution. Go back to the pipe and try again... and stay away. Fumes effect.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Look at his pic here and think again...does he deserves our opinion...it is a waste of “thumb power” to type about this kid...

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Here’s a tip: if you’re intending to sneak out of town, don’t request a police escort.

Dime quién te defiende y te diré quién eres.

If your grandfather was an evil Narcissiats & you're father a Malignant Narcissists that makes you a third generation pathological Narcissists Please don't have children

Even Ted Cruz’s dog knew it was a bad idea to go to Cancun during a crisis

Im sorry no excuse of leaving to Mexico! Do your job you were elected to by the people u abandoned !

Cruz is in the Government, he's a God damn Senator.

Just continued proof that the trump’s don’t understand public service.

hes correct of course. The Real Issue here now is the media needs some more villains with Trump gone, and Cruz is one of the substitutes. That's the truth on this type thing. Such BS

So I guess if there's ever a question about who's responsible for what, this dipshit is who we should ask. Got it.

The elite are always there to defend and support each other. Neither Trump nor Cruz would ever consider helping out when a tragedy occurs. ThT should be handled by the “help”.

So who’s job is a Capital crisis?

Trump thinking...inhuman and dangerous.

This is NOT news ... it’s TMZ Politics Edition

who cares what the hell he thinks about anything?

Dumb, Jr., like his father, believes he was first in line when God passed ou brains; only problem is that he he held the door for everyone else.

How about The Trumps just be quiet.

Who cares what he thinks 🤔

Just write Don Jr is still an idiot. Save on printing

Moron

Stop asking dingus what he thinks. No one cares what the neighborhood coke abuser thinks.

Hardly a surprise. Rogues stick together, though the Trumps are very different rogues than Ted Cruz is.

The Trump family is all about shirking responsibility, when things go wrong they are likely to blame someone else. Sure Cruz is not Governor but he could have been there to help his constituents by using his influence at home and Washington to help his neighbors.

From this……………!!!!

DonaldJTrumpJr teaching kids to be smart people is a fathers job...how did that work out for you junior?

Don Jr has his dads genes. Can’t fight genetics. They just need to stop reproducing.

WTFC about what this slug thinks

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️yeah sorry but leaders on all levels need to be there for the people who voted for them in times of trouble for their people. Doesn’t matter if they are local, state or federal. All they need to do is help there people in some way.

He may have snorted one too many lines when he went an that rant.

Please president joe Biden don’t let the Americans people from Texas suffer more in the hands of the republicans. They only give a them about Donald Trump not the people of Texas. Please help.

Like father like son 😂😂😂😂 good riddance.

B.S, that guy just needs to stop. I’m so sick of the Jerry Springer politics fro, the trump clan. Ted should have stayed in Texas and sent his family away if that’s the case. He was elected to represent Texas, not flee it.

Jr. Is an idiot!

It’s a community job. Cruz is a selfish man just like Trump.

🤢🤢🤮🤮

WHY is any outlet giving the tRump family any media coverage. These people are less than irrelevant. No one cares what jr has to say about anything.

This looks like a guy who'd give good job advice. What's his experience again? Daddy hype specialist?

Says the guy who has not worked in government at the state or federal level ever in his life. AOC and Beto are example of what can be done...maybe looked to them if you are perplexed as to what Fat Wolverine could have done to help his constituents.

Well, he said it's the 'democrat' governors job. Please keep it in the same dumb scale it was bro 😅

Not sure this should be newsworthy- yeah I’m sure, nopey

The Republican Governor he thought was a Democrat? 😂 DonaldJTrumpJr REALLY needs to lay off the drugs!

Don Jr. should know something about mismanagement since his father killed over 400,000 people.

Being the President was Donny's daddy's job, but never stopped little Don from shooting his mouth off on matters that daddy was mishandling just fine without him.

His cocaine plug must be a friend to Cruz. lol.

Spoken by the President's son, the very one who spent the last 2 months of his presidency playing golf and watching TV

Supertoaste why is he still relevant?

Airhead

Donald who?

Did jr send Ted to be his drug mule?

He’s not wrong...

Don who......

Sounds like zanupf

Every leaderships job ... bubba red hat! But what would your irresponsible family know!

There is definitely something missing in the trump clan.. and it isn't a truckload of BS.

Who asked him? Why should anyone care what the unelected son of a one-term twice-impeached former president thinks about a Texas senator traveling to Mexico? Newsweek: This isn’t news.

Whitewashing

C'mon fool.

Traditional Drumpf mantra 'It's not my job' translates to 'not enough money in it'...
