Conservative pundit Dinesh D'Souza on Thursday praised Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for vacationing in Cancun while his constituents faced a winter storm with massive power outages.
After photos of Cruz traveling to Cancun went viral on Wednesday, Fox News and other outlets confirmed the reports.
D'Souza defended Cruz in a tweet.
"What could @tedcruz do if he were here in Texas? I'm hard-pressed to say," D'Souza opined. "If he's in Cancun, that means he's not using up valuable resources of energy, food and water that can now be used by someone else. This is probably the best thing he could do for the state right now."

Dinesh 'Marie Antoinette' D'Souza should beg someone to explain the concept of 'shared sacrifice' to him.

(25,536 posts)they can justify any behavior or treat it as though it never occurred.
I am only half-kidding: if the Japanese Imperial Navy and Air force bombed Pearl Harbor and you had this crew in the WH in 1941, they'd be telling you that it was a few sticks of dynamite dropped by George Soros' father's friends. And they'd get away with it.

(492 posts)Ted Cruz has nothing of value to offer and, in fact, just takes up valuable resources when he is present.
