During a Tuesday episode of the conservativepodcast, Cruz discussed the negative reaction to his trip and took aim at his neighbors. He suggested that Democratic neighbors may have been the ones who leaked the text messages to the media. The senator started out the interview by sarcastically saying he'd had a"calm and uneventful" week with"not much of anything going on."
"I will say [my wife] Heidi's pretty pissed at that," Cruz said of the leaked text messages."She actually was over at a neighbor's house walking through—so she texted several of our neighbors. Now look, our neighbors, we've got a number of Republicans who are neighbors, but we also have a number of Democrats."MEGA/GC Images/Getty
He added,"You know, we have folks on our street who put up Beto [O'Rourke campaign] signs, which I thought was a little rude. But you know, I didn't, like, hold a victory party in their front yards when we won." O'Rourke, a former Democratic representative for Texas, unsuccessfully challenged Cruz in a bid for hisCruz said his neighbors' actions were"a sign of how ridiculously politicized and nasty" things have become.
How about tedcruz you do your actual JOB and take care of those living in Texas instead of farting around propping up T and trying to score R points. Or, better yet RESIGN.
The old “shoot the messenger” defense
He's just mad that he got caught. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your neighbors weren’t ***holes, Ted, you were; a “good dad” would’ve explained to his wife and kids that going on a vacation while the entire state you represent is being devastated by a winter storm is out of the question.
Straitland Corporate man first
Had he kept his ass home and instead tried to say what can I do to help those hit by this tragedy, especially since this last year has been Hell. Weak man blaming others.
Pot calling kettle black.
What?
Ted cruz is a typical retrumplican who is just good on tv.😄😄😄
a pig is a pig!
Ted and family 10' ***holes, neighbors 1/2' ***holes.
The only asshole was Ted Cruz to leave his state at such a crucial time!
Q told him not to go, and when he did anyway, it was leaked. You cannot hide or stray from Q. To paraphrase the Miami Sound Machine, the Q is gonna get you...
That’s my job?
😂😂😂So your neighbors think as much of you as the rest of the nation. VoteCruzOut
You the ass hole wicked you too selfish man
Tells you even the neighbours hate the MF!
So the main asshole wants to call his neighbors assholes because they chose not to be assholes and join the asshole when he invited them to be assholes and now expose him, to no one's surprise, as being an asshole? What an asshole.
Boy you really are a sorry excuse of a man, not the deed, but getting caught for the deed makes you the A-hole.
“Don’t be ***holes, that’s my exclusive, life long right”. That’s probably what he wanted to say
He is so stupid! He is THEIR senator. Maybe they were appalled that he’d go away and they PAY HIS SALARY!! Chris Christie said he’s not very likable, seems like he was right.
shannonrwatts The irony of King Asshole SenTedCruz pointing fingers is riiiiich
Ted Cruz presidential ambitions are gone . the philosopher Ted Cruz the Republicans
His neighbours hate him as much as the country. That’s why they texted! Bunch of rent a friends!
This from the insurrection supporting guy who let's Trump abuse him, his wife, and father, then flees the state while his constituents freeze, and blames it on his daughters. He obviously doesn't know what an asshole is, just mad he got caught.
They are
Typical Republican. Let's not pay any attention to what they did wrong, let's crucify the people who showed the truth. Do better Raphael.
Somebody needs to let Cruz know everybody hates him.
Kettle, meet pot.
You’re going to need their vote in few years Cruzy
Hey Ted, practice what ya preach much? 😷
Why, you’re worse leaving your constituents with nothing. What kind of man, never mind political figure, does that? Not much of one, huh?
Speaking of ass holes tedcruz it was you that did the wrong not your neighbors.
Awesome, Cruz thinks he can preach to his neighbors about being assholes.
« Treat each other as human beings. Have some degree, some modicum of respect. » 🤯
Sorry, he is right! I have not talked to my neighbours for over 2 years! A bit awkward when neighbours are meeting up, but I am not the snitch!
Yah don’t be like me he said
Awwww, poor Cruz got stuck loading trunks of his constituents with bottled water instead of living it up on the beach in Cancun🥺my smallest violin 🎻 plays just for you Teddy
Is he looking in the mirror?
“Takes one to know....,”
Always someone else's fault
shannonrwatts Right ......
Pot calling the kettle black
Hahahahaha
Here’s a way to not be an asshole: Don’t leave for Cancun while your constituents are dying.
So what if it was reported by Democrats.. You took that trip and abandoned your state at the worst possible time.. Say 'asshole' again thid time in front if that mirror..
He’s just pathetic.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
that's ironic commentary coming from tedcruz, one of the biggest a**holes on the face of the Earth.
CharlesMBlow It was Heidi, remember her, the wife who Trump called ugly and the wife you never defended. Haha Heidi, revenge is a dish best eaten cold!!
Why not? You are.
WinstonJohansen I just cannot stop laughing at this damn headline! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Being an asshole is something with which this guy has intimate experience.
ASSHOLE
FlyingTedCruz FledCruz ResignRaphael
The only asshole here is the Senator who took off to Cancun when the state of Texas needed him most.
Your neighbors think you are an a$$ too, just like the rest of us!
Really Ted?
Who’s the a**hole now Ted?
WaterflowerM The nerve of those ***holes leaking to the press what the biggest ***hole in Texas was up to. Maybe he would prefer Rand Paul's neighbors to his.
Said the King of the Assholes.
Ted Cruz just found out all his friends are a-holes. Like seeks like.
CharlesMBlow Takes one to know one.
CharlesMBlow Don’t give them reasons to tweet about you, then, idiot.
Your busted. Period!!!! Don’t blame the neighbors. One luv💋
CharlesMBlow I know it's being said repeatedly, but it bears repeating: No, Ted. You're the ***hole. They're being fair.
Is SenTedCruz able to behave a little bit more civilized with neighbours ?
You know Ted is lying because he does not have “lots of friends”
Maybe tedcruz needs to not be one first.
Who the hell does this DB think he is
Don’t be like Eduardo.
Maybe your raggedy ass should have stayed home!!!
I'd say the assailed are the family that went to Cancun instead of trying to help the people they were elected to protect
“Don’t be assholes”...? Really, Ted? You first.
shannonrwatts Takes one to know one. Cruz is truly an asshle 😂💯
Hes pissed because he got caught. Sound like old Teddy boy needs to tighten up his circle.
When you’re doing what is right as a leading figure of a state or of anything, you don’t need to name call people or blame the children or blame anyone.
shannonrwatts Now the neighbors, under the bus🤨who’s the a—hole🙄
ken_crichlow Yes...don't be ***hole, that's Ted's job!
rather be an **hole than a porkbelly
shannonrwatts “We have a lot of friends who are democrats” 😳😂🤣😂🤣 💀
Pathetic!
Hey Ted, it takes an a**hole to know one!
To be fair to Heidi, Parler wasn’t available at the time.
The pot calling the kettle black. If Cruz isn’t the biggest asshole, fat meat ain’t greasy.
SNL was right - tedcruz really does struggle with the being human thing.
CharlesMBlow
Guess what. Your neighbors don’t like you. tedcruz
shannonrwatts And we all think the same about tedfled, quit being an assh*le. We know it comes naturally but please try. We are sick of you. ExpelTedCruzNow CancunCruz DomesticTerrorist ExpelTheSeditionists GOPHypocrisy GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Because of course, SenTedCruz continues to play the victim of his own amoral actions.
What a GIANT PR!CK
shannonrwatts can a human being be more pathetic? can a state be more pathetic for elect someone with this pathetic?
This guy is yesterday's news & needs to be ignored accordingly. He's just pissed that he chose to bail on his constituents during a catastrophe in his state & got called to account for it. Karma's a bitch!
Wow! Republicans should do like to blame others for their bad choices! Smfh!!!!
CharlesMBlow Oof. Cruz lecturing anyone on not being an ahole is...
tedcruz you blame your kids & wife for forcing you to take a trip to Cancun. You could have sent your family down without you. Then you blame the nastiness of today’s politics which you support and perpetuate. TedCruzFailedTexas
It takes one to know one!
GOODPEOPLE
And, he is 100% correct. We have far too much of the “you don’t agree with me politically so I hate you” nonsense.
It’s not his fault, he’s being himself; it’s actually his constituents’ fault
You first, Ted.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
kidneystories Says the ***hole 🤣🤣
shannonrwatts Ted got the assholes mixed up.
Only he is entitled to be a huge one!
Ted Cruz is a joke
His wife is acting like Marie Antoinette! Someone please make a meme!
Lol
shannonrwatts The only friends you have are assholes Skippy.
shannonrwatts Ted says 'Don't expose ME being an ***hole!'
ALOT of luggage for overnight! YOU LIE....YOU LIE....YOU LIE!
Ted Cruz has a life. Did anyone ask if this his trip was planned months in advance? Besides, Biden sent 60 generators to help. Are you asking more from Biden? I know Biden did not go to Cancun. Biden went to the basement to rest.
Pretty sure the model ***hole here is Cruz & family, jetting off to Cancun while residents of his state literally FREEZE TO DEATH because of his & governor's inaction & deeply flawed priorities. Neighbors actually care about fairness & people having heat! Cruz, check yourself!
shannonrwatts Does it ever occur to these self centered idiots that if they weren't doing something very wrong, no leak would cause them damage? Democrats look to stop the crime. Republicans look for whoever ratted them out!
shannonrwatts I feel like the annual neighbourhood Christmas party will be a doozy this year!
shannonrwatts Throw his ass under the bus and run over him ten times
shannonrwatts Ted's political death spiral gets more chaotic with every action he takes. Any chance to the presidency is over! Same as Trump's... they behave and talk badly but somehow expect good outcomes. Pathetic!
shannonrwatts Takes one to know one?
Ted had to come home from his botched vacation I bet the wife and kids hated to see him leave . NOT!!!! lol
CharlesMBlow LOL ...... OR tedcruz perhaps you shouldn't put neighbour's in a position where they can justly call out irresponsible, hypocritical behaviour... lol typical GOP ... there is always someone or something else to blame for irresponsible, reckless behaviour.
shannonrwatts 😂😂😂😂
shannonrwatts it was probably Heidi so she could have the vacation to herself.
shannonrwatts Here we go again. Another politician with not only disregard for democracy, but no scruples, no self control, no caring for others, no leading by example.... ...instead just swear, disregard societal polite norms, and look out for number one... Trump Mk2 is ready to go eh GOP
Cruz telling other people not to be assholes about leaking texts... Isn't this the same guy that stood by when his wife was being called ugly and his dad a murderer. But took it.
shannonrwatts His daughters, his wife, the neighbors, he's running out of people to blame for his lack of personal responsibility.
Way to make friends.
CharlesMBlow Texas Ted, turnabout is fair play! I am sure they tell you the same all of the time!
shannonrwatts Maybe Cruz should start by 'treating his fellow Texans like human beings' and care for their well-being. Other folks seem able to do something for HIS constituents.
CharlesMBlow CancunCruz
bama_borned_46 tedcruz perhaps you shouldn't have been an ***hole by attempting to go on vacation when your constituents were in dire straits!
shannonrwatts I was gonna say - you were gonna get found out here
shannonrwatts You first Mr Cruz...
shannonrwatts Like T he is vindictive and will eventually get his own back on them
CharlesMBlow '...sitting on (YOUR) throne', Ted?
shannonrwatts Back at ya Ted! tedcruz
🏖️🦠☠️
shannonrwatts Senate's biggest azzzhole calls out other azzzholes lol
Take it like a man, Ted. After all, you are the one who screwed up. Not the neighbors.
Bless his heart. SenTedCruz SnivelingTed.
Don’t be a heartless dick Ted.
pot, meet kettle.
shannonrwatts I’m more concerned about how his neighbors got access to his text messages
shannonrwatts Yeah! Cruz is a big enough asshole as it is, he’s not looking for competition
shannonrwatts Who’s the asshole?
CharlesMBlow Ted's finally figuring out nobody likes him
shannonrwatts Neighbor’s response: “You first.”
You get what you give CancunCruz.
Who’s the real asshole?!SenTedCruz
In Texas those are fightin' words. Depending on what your definition of fightin' is. Be.
CharlesMBlow So dont be like ted
CharlesMBlow Personally I appreciate SenTedCruz neighbors for reminding the world and Texas what a hypocrite he is & what a poor state senator he is.
Well🤷♀️.They.Are.Not.Your.Friends😌
Ted said what?
