Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) apparently has no one on his payroll willing to tell him to stop tweeting dumb stuff. The Texas Senators latest 280-characters-or-less blunder came on Saturday as he attempted to attack President Joe Biden for going on vacation by reminding people of the time he traveled to Cancun, Mexico during his states devastating freeze and power crisis back in February.
Cruzs failed dunk was a retweet of a GOP tweet hitting Biden for decid[ing] to go on vacation YET AGAIN and accusing him of running away from all the problems he has caused.
Link to tweet
The President of the United States never actually goes on vacation while in office. Anywhere the commander-in-chief travels, whether to meet with another world leader or visit family, a large gang of staffers and advisers including the military aide carrying the nuclear football are following along.
So the GOPs original tweet was a silly and petty insult, even more so when one considers how often former President Donald Trump went golfing as compared to Biden.
And then Cruz came in to make it all even dumber.

but because the Pig spent more time on the golf course in another state than any other President AFAIK.
I doubt anything interrupted the Pig's 18 when he was at Mar a Quid Pro Quo.
