So are the people in Jackson, Ms are without water. I can’t understand why the people in Ms keep voting Republican. They are not doing anything for you. Vote blue and see what gives.🆘🆘

Should be happy to have water at all.

Unacceptable

Fake news! As a developed country, no one is lack of water in the USA!

CUT UP THE ICE AND HEAT IT. HOW HARD IS THAT

Such a mess.

Unbelievable and lying Ted Cruz makes jokes about Texas at CPAC

And yet water is life

This lady might be a wonderful woman, but her T-shirt got me to thinking. If you are a Christian people should know it by your actions. You shouldn’t have to proclaim it on a shirt.

I'm just surprised most Texans are bright enough to know how to boil water.

When is CNN making a donation to help these people?

As a native Texan I would be interested in know if the voters in Texas still support Ted Cruz and the governor. I would suspect they have found reasons to divert the blame elsewhere.

Ted Cruz could give a crap if you have water or electricity!!Next time vote Democrat. Texans wake up! Cruz played you for votes!!!

rat vui duoc lam ban voi tat ca moi nguoi.hom nao ranh cafe voi minh ban nhe.buon wa!

so they experienced what some people in the world experience for years. Good for them if they have learned something

She is a Christian. Welp, I hope she's happy with the fine work of her fellow Christians charged with public service in her state. They are really walking the walk out there! Ornotsomuch. Takes a PR from NY to show what Christianity is about.

America is a third world country.

Great America😂😂😂

Texas wil be soon Mexican state!

Well, that’s their right! I think we shouldn’t tread on them. Thoughts and prayers though.

Please remember how Fled Cruz has blatantly turned his back on you... and then mocks your situation at CPAC. Do not forget his vile, narcissistic, disrespectful choice.

Republican failure to plan for worst case scenarios. Biden is helping you. Remember.

😂😂🤣...while even in Abuja, d contraption capital city, all ppl who can't afford 2 dig a borehole will keep on going without water till d end of tym Nigeria continuity as a country is a disaster & chaos to be soon exploded that even The United Nations won't b able 2 handle

May God have mercy upon them

Perhaps Ted can escort them all down to Mexico?

Ted Cruz keeps pissing on them, Texans could distill some of that.

I bleev its the way the people voted. republicans really don't care about communities and its people as much as democrats do,its been proven with the COV`19.If it were a democratic state things would have been handle and inspected differently.trumps deregulations really hurt Tx

Flint, MI.

Greatest nation in the world - my arse.

Yet all tedcruz cares about is CPAC

Ask Ted Cruz to bring you some..

Shut up. Help instead ok talking !

Just need to go where there is water, to the resort. Like Teddy Cruzzi.

Americans in south don't understand how snow works at all 😊

Hope everyone is doing ok.Thinking about you all.❤

But don't bother passing this information onto GOP representatives. Their attentions are focused elsewhere.🙄😡😆

Texas is a Third World country, now, under Republican conservatism.

Ted Cruz Is a waste,he needs to go!

GregAbbott_TX played the blame game with ERCOT_ISO while knowing the government deregulated years ago. ERCOT_ISO hasn't done inspections in who knows how long. Our water & electricity bills are going to be horrible. Now Abbott is talking about lifting the mask mandate. 🖕🏻🤡

“Orlando is Awesome! Not as nice as Cancun.” - Ted Cruz

That's pretty shit

And ted cruz laughted at Texas during CPAC. That was a big FU to Texans and to the families who lost loved ones.

So how do they get to survive without water?

Yup, and they’ll continue to keep buffoons like Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott in office. It’s the Texas way. Stay stupid.

go to Cancun I am sure idiot cruz will pay for it lol

And their god doesn't help them 😱 😂😂😂😂😂

Meanwhile Ted Cruz has been to both Cancun and Florida CancunCruz CruzIsAJoke CruzFailedTexas CruzHatesTexas CruzIsADisgrace

Without water? Snow is ... water

No worries Cancun Cruz will hustle right down there and pick up some fresh Agua They ll be good in no time Oh and you’ll get a joke along the way What a guy !

This is the result of deregulation. Unfortunately the tribalism in TX will ensure these same people in power will serve again. These people only have themselves to blame for ensuring the GQP remain in power for more of the same to happen. Very sad.

Why don't they just fly to Cancun....problem solved, right?🙄🤷‍♂️

Is Texas the new Langata?

Keep helping your people and stop crying over others.

Isn’t capitalism sure great? Looks lots like the haters told us socialism would...

let them vote again and again for the republicans especially for Ted Cruse.

Hi I'm from Turkey. We are high school students, There is a danger of coronavirus in our country, we take the exam by force. Turkey Minister of Education doesn't care about us, please help us. HELP PLEASE I'M AFRAİD WHOHearTurkishStudents WHO

well, since the Republicans are not in charge, they don't give a f..k!

We went without for 45 days during Maria ...SUCK IT UP !

Sometimes we get what we deserve but this time Texas Lawmskers and official gone off the bend . They didn’t protect their fellow citizens

A sign of failure of Biden's administration. There must be emergency plan to supply water to American people.

Some say they won't mind, all they need is Jesus and Trump. Not necessarily in that order.
