In tweet defending Cruz, Donald Trump Jr. blasts incompetence of Texas' 'Democrat Governor'

His dad wasn't permanently implanted in the White House, as was his wish, but Donald Trump Jr.'s foot sure seems to be permanently implanted in his own mouth.

Sharing his steel-trap analysis about the furor surrounding Sen. Ted Cruz's ill-timed trip to Cancun, the Trump scion opined Thursday via Twitter that Texans should be less worried about their junior senator's travels than their incompetent "Democrat Governor."

"The hypocrisy of those trying to cancel Ted Cruz who have been totally silent on their Democrat Governor's incompetence is telling," Don Jr. wrote in the tweet. The missive also included a shrill video tantrum about just how unfairly people are treating Cruz for wanting to sip margs on the beach while his constituents burn their furniture to stay warm.

Purely partisan and utterly devoid of any devotion to the truth.

But I don't think he was talking about Abbott. He may have been talking about Dems bad mouthing Cruz that have Democratic governors that remain silent.

GQP blaming procedure: if you can’t find someone contemporaneous to blame, go back in history and find a Democratic governor.

Not hardly!

If a tRump says it, it must be true, at least according to the cult members. Curious to see how this plays out.

It's laughable and sad.
