Cruz to Loose encore cubed!

So, the litany of Ted Cruz stupidity missteps continues: #CruzToLoose! Ted Cruz mistakes 'Western Australia' for 'Washington State' in botched attack on 'power-drunk' Dems

RawStory echo report by John Wright

And there was this:
Cruz accuses Democrats of playing 'ridiculous theater' in proposals following mass shootings with dozens of preventable fatalities and gun injuries. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) accused Democrats of playing “ridiculous theater” by proposing universal background checks and other reforms following serial mass shootings, and gun death mortalities, which he claimed would take “away guns from law-abiding citizens.” 

Meanwhile, school shootings in 2021, continue terrifying students, educators, parents, and communities—There have been 34 school shootings in 2021, in fact, 24 since August 1. 

A shooting on Nov. 30, in which a student killed four people and injured seven at an Oxford, Mich., high school, was the deadliest school shooting since May 2018. There have been 92 school shootings since 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic appears to have interrupted the trend line. The 2020 figure, with 10 shootings, was significantly lower than 2019 and 2018, which each had 24.

Plus this: While the Cruz constituents in Texas were literally freezing to death during an ice storm when the state's power grid failed, he took his family to vacation in Cancun, Mexico! Cruz said that his Houston home didn’t lose power, unlike vast swaths of the state, though he said in his Thursday statement that he did end up losing power and heat. 

David Shuster "...confirmed @SenTedCruz and his family flew to Cancun for a few days at a resort they've visited before. Cruz seemed to believe there wasn't much for him to do in Texas for the millions of fellow Texans who remained without electricity/water and  literally freezing."

Rolling blackouts at times meant more than 35% of Texans went without electricity—and many of those without any source of heat.

Echo report in RawStory:  Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz apparently confused "Western Australia" (WA) with "Washington State" in an attempted attack on Democrats over COVID-19 restrictions on Wednesday night.

On Twitter, Cruz falsely suggested that "Washington State" had banned dancing at private parties on New Year's Eve.

"Blue-state Dems are power-drunk authoritarian kill-joys," Cruz wrote. "Washington State: NO DANCING ALLOWED!!! Any rational & free citizen: Piss off."

Cruz later deleted the tweet, but here's a screen shot:

Cruz was responding to a post containing an image of a comment thread from Facebook. In the comment thread, "WA Government" responded to a question about New Year's Eve COVID-19 restrictions by saying that "Dancing is strictly not permitted."

As it turns out, the comment thread came from the Facebook page of the Government of Western Australia, not Washington state. Cruz may have gotten confused since the postal abbreviation for Washington state is "WA."

"Witness the idiocracy for yourself. This…leader (?) confuses Western Australia (WA) for Washington State. Like he confused Texas for Cancun. https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status"

#SIASD!

*P.S.  So let me get this right?  Ted Cruz was born in Canada.  His father was a Cuban immigrant.  So, how is it that Ted Cruz gets to travel in and out of Mexico without having proof of US citizenship? In other words, do we really have to let him back in after he leaves to visit another country? 

Calgary, Alberta CNN — Ted Cruz’s Canadian birth has become a key campaign issue. The U.S. Constitution requires a candidate for president be a “natural born citizen.” Most experts believe Cruz is a natural born citizen, but no president has ever been born outside of the U.S. and his father was not an American citizen at the time.

And, Maine Writer opinion here- these goofs will not be the end of the #CruzToLoose litany.
