Lol this dude blamed his daughter for wanting to go to cancun. Spineless rat

Good idea. Every Texan should call out of work for an entire week the next time their power grid shits the bed in the winter and tell their bosses that Ted Cruz said they should go to Cancun when its too cold.

I fucking hate this guy so much.

The 246 deaths spanned 77 counties and included victims ranging from less than 1 year old to 102 years old, according to the report. Close to two-thirds of the deaths were due to hypothermia. Of the deaths, the report classified 148 as “direct,” 92 as “indirect” and six as “possible,” using criteria developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Forget being career ending: in a sane society we’d have been calling to have this jackass drug through the street
