Ted Cruz gets walloped for claiming GOP isn’t the party of “country clubs”
It’s become an almost passé observation to say that the modern Republican Party stands for absolutely nothing. Donald Trump swept in and pulled back the curtain to reveal that the only thing they truly care about is shoveling massive tax cuts to the super-rich and maintaining their own political power. Their platform is all about distracting voters by getting them working up over racial issues or nonsensical culture war complaints like Mr. Potato Head becoming gender-neutral.
At the same time, Republican politicians want us to believe that they represent the “real America” of the working class. Theirs is a party built and maintained to serve a handful of millionaires and billionaires and yet somehow they want to pretend like they have the best interests of average people at heart. It would be funny if it weren’t so convincing to so many millions of misled voters.
Add your name to call on prosecutors to ARREST DONALD TRUMP for his crimes!
Perhaps the most ludicrous purveyor of this lie is Senator Ted Cruz, a man so out of touch that he was caught trying to flee to Cancun as his home state of Texas was slammed with deadly winter storms that knocked out power for millions of shivering Texans. A millionaire himself, Cruz tweeted today that the Republican Party is “not the party of country clubs, it’s the party of hardworking, blue-collar men and women.”
Mind you, this is the same party that elected Donald Trump—a privileged conman who never had to work a real day of work in life thanks to the millions given to him by his equally crooked father. Republicans love country clubs. If they didn’t need votes from normal people they’d never rub elbows with them at all. They hate and look down on middle-class people, as demonstrated by the draconian policies they enact every time they’re in power.
Twitter users were quick to point out Cruz’s staggering hypocrisy. People really, truly hate this loser.
The Republican Party is not the party of the country clubs, it’s the party of hardworking, blue-collar men and women.https://t.co/z0tnKxFSkP

You literally flew to Cancun while your "hardworking, blue-collar men and women" in Texas were freezing to death.

Guy who literally left his constituents in the freezing cold with no power to die while he chills in Cancun unironically posts about blue-collar folks.

If the Republican Party is the party of hardworking blue-collar men and women, why has it been so steadfastly against raising the minimum wage — a move that would help tens of millions of hardworking blue-collar men and women?

So Ted Cruz didn't abandon Texas's country clubs, he abandoned its hardworking blue-collar men and women. https://t.co/jyl9Eyh9tc
