As if he shares the hardships of the average Texan in part or whole, ever.
It's just an empty, symbolic gesture. What do people think; Ted Cruz is going to personally and physically repair the power grid over a weekend? Is he gonna stock supermarket shelves at the local HEB?
Gimmie a break. Let this asshole sign whatever documents or administrative work that needs to be signed and while the WORKERS actually fix shit as usual. Spare me the outrage a pampered asshole is not wearing mittens on TV or standing in front of a Whataburger to show solidarity with people using a Yankee candle for heat.
Fuck you, Ted Cruz.
