'How do you even sleep at night?': Texas Sen. Ted Cruz faces backlash after Uvalde shooting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

FORT WORTH, Texas — Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is taking heat to his response to the shooting in Uvalde that left more than 20 dead, including at least 18 elementary school students.

Police say an 18-year-old gunman acted alone and is also dead.

Uvalde is a town of 15,000 about 80 miles west of San Antonio.

“Heidi & I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde,” Cruz said in a post on Twitter. “We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding. Thank you to heroic law enforcement & first responders for acting so swiftly.”

7. Yah, DU and twitter backlash don't mean anything to him.

all that matters is what Texans think of him and I'll have to be convinced that this will hurt him.

4. Oh, they're 'fervently lifting them up in prayer', are they?

What a fucking asshole.

5. Those victims must be so grateful to Ted and Heidi for lifting them up in prayer.

6. I think Ted sleeps at night. He has a safe seat in a state that love humping guns

more than protecting the lives of children. And, the NRA money keeps flowing into his pocket.

11. It is a happy day for him. He can do fund raising on the violence.

And gets votes.

He sleeps just fine.

Ted Cruz is not going to fix this.
