Whining baby Ted Cruz attacks his neighbors for releasing private text messages about his vacation

It's going to be a little tense in the Cruz neighborhood for a while.

“Here’s a suggestion: Just don’t be assh*les,” Cruz fumed. “Yeah, like, just, you know, treat each other as human beings have some degree, some modicum of respect.”

Imagine, those words coming from Ted Cruz's lips! The irony!!


A bitter Senator Ted Cruz launched into a profane rant against his neighbors for leaking private chat transcripts about his infamous trip to Cancun to the press. The group chat was started by Cruz’s wife Heidi Cruz in which she informed them of the family’s plans to escape snowstorm-stricken Texas to stay on the warm beaches of Cancun.

“I will say, Heidi was pretty pissed at that,” Cruz said during an appearance on the “Ruthless” podcast hosted by former Mitch McConnell campaign manager Josh Holmes. “She was over at the neighbor’s house yesterday, sort of walking through that… We have a number of Republicans who are neighbors but we also have a lot of Democrats, folks on our streets who put up Beto signs, which I thought was a little rude.”

Cruz then slammed his neighbors for being so disrespectful toward him.

“Here’s a suggestion: Just don’t be assh*les,” Cruz fumed. “Yeah, like, just, you know, treat each other as human beings have some degree, some modicum of respect.”

Cancun Cruz doesn't understand that respect must be earned.

I’d give him a lesson in rude.

So is the excuse now that he abandoned his constituents because his rude neighbors would share his text messages? Does he know how time works?

Heidi Cruz is pretty pissed about it? I’m pretty happy about that. Does that mean Ted has to go kiss those neighbors asses? I’m pretty sure that’s how that works.

Americans expressing their freedom of political expression (for an opposing candidate with a heart)! How dare they?!?

7. Nah, Cancruz, you republicans have cornered the market on rude, crude and deplorable.

Democrats are being polite just putting up signs.

At least Proud Boys with assault rifles didn’t try to storm your house and kidnap you to take to Utah to be tried and hung as a traitor.

THAT is what Republicans do.

10. He really doesn't get how disliked he is and how acting entitled really doesn't help

Let's see-- off to Cancun when you could be leading at home in time of dire need; left the security guard and dog behind in the cold; came back and didn't bother to quarantine. Not to mention all his half baked political ploys. Hmmm...wonder why he is not liked or respected? Oh, and look out! His wife is pissed. Ouch! That hurts.

in a statewide emergency, don’t post all the info in a neighborhood group chat or fly commercial. Your sociopathy obviously cannot comprehend all the ways this looked bad to normal people, but trust me, it does.

We recognize first in others, that which we hate about ourselves.
