"Say no to your kids"

Very diplomatic of Chief Acevedo.

"Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo blasted Texas Republican Senator and Houston resident Ted Cruz after he flew off to Cancun to avoid power outages and freezing temperatures in his home state.

“We’ve all made poor choices,” Mr Acevedo said while speaking to CNN, adding: “I think it’s a little tone-deaf. And sometimes you got to teach your kids the word ‘no’ and this probably would have been a good time to tell your kids ‘no, we’re blessed, but we have to wait till we get Texas on our feet’. Again, we’ve all made bad decisions sometimes. As a dad, maybe his heart got the best of him.”

I think it's all bullshit anyway. My guess is it was wife Heidi that suggested the trip, not the 9 and 12 year old daughters. BTW, school was already cancelled for the week because of the freeze, but now his daughters have to quarantine for 7 to 10 days.

2. Let me translate

“We’ve all FUCKED UP,” Mr Acevedo said while speaking to CNN, adding: “I think CRUZ is a little tone-deaf. And sometimes you got to BE A DECENT HUMAN, this probably would have been a good time FOR CRUZ to tell HIMSELF ‘no, we’re blessed. BUT FUCK NO HE DID NOT HELP PEOPLE GET ON THEIR FEET. Again, we’ve all FUCKED UP. As a dad, maybe his heart IS NO HEART AT ALL.”

Wish he said what was in/on his heart.

3. Did his daughters actually meet up with friends?

This was the reason for the trip, right? I haven't heard or seen anything confirming this. I admit I could have missed it. It does sound like a bunch of entitled rich shits saying "Let them eat cake."

5. Not really. The Cruzes invited a group of families to go with them.

It wasn't like they were already there, or already going, and the kids wanted to join them.

He's just making shit up and throwing his own daughters under the bus to try to make himself look better.
