I have not found an article to go with this.



@OccupyDemocrats
BREAKING: The father of a Texas Marine who was just freed from a Russian prison says Sen. Ted Cruz "didn't do anything" to help his son and he's an "embarrassment to the state of Texas” and he will fight to "defeat that son of a b*tch." RT IF YOU AGREE WITH THE MARINE'S FATHER!

2. Well, in Cruz's defense, he didn't get on a plane to Acapulco

3. The Republicans really don't give a damn about our kids in uniform

The shameful Cancun Cruz is just one of the leading shirkers and goofers in that regard. But the GOP has a deep bench of FAIL FINKS when it comes to standing up for and supporting our troops.

4. Don't fuck with the Marines.

Or their parents.

6. What about the other asshole?

Texas has two Senators. Did John Cornyn do anything to help?

[JCMach1]

7. Some Reps/Sen don't give a f**k about helping contituents

This is a bipartisan criticism,.BTW.

Will be interesting to see who actually helped here.

8. I just saw Texas Towlie's link.

Cornyn and two Republican Congressmen actually helped, according to the article, along with the Biden Administration.

17. Yeah

There are politicians who genuinely care about their constituents lives. And there are politicians (looking at you TED CRUZ) who only care about their own power. (apparently Cruz mistakes being powerful with being the most unliked Senator.)

14. I thought

former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson helped get him released. Kind of think he has done this sort of thing before.

11. Wasn't cornyn one of the ones who went to russia on the 4th of July.

[summer_in_TX]

16. No.

They were Richard Shelby (AL), Steve Daines (MT), John Hoeven (ND), Ron Johnson (WI), John Kennedy (LA), Jerry Moran (KS), John Thune (SD), and Kay Granger (TX)

[onecaliberal]

19. Awesome! Thanks

[2Gingersnaps]

9. Has Cruz ever done anything in his existence to help anyone but himself?

[Rebl2]

13. Ummmm

Let me think. Answer is a big NO on that!

20. Cruz was re-elected in 2018.

He's not up until 2024.

No swing voter will remember. It's the advantage of the Senate incumbent - 6 years is forever when voters have the memories of gnats.

[riversedge]

21. yes. I agree.
