Ted Cruz, Bill Flores Asked For Federal Aid After Texas Explosion, But Voted Against Sandy Relief
A pair of Republican lawmakers who voted against federal aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy are now looking for federal aid in the wake of the deadly explosion in West, Texas.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz lambasted the Sandy Aid package, voting against the measure in January. Cruzissued a statement explaining that he voted against the aid because it included a number of spending measures that were not related to disaster relief, including "Smithsonian repairs, upgrades to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration airplanes, and more funding for Head Start."
However, in Washington Thursday, Cruz said that he was "working to ensure that all available resources are marshaled to deal with the horrific loss of life and suffering that we've seen" after an explosion at a fertilizer plant in Texas leveled the plant and nearby houses and business, claiming the lives of at least a dozen people and injuring hundreds more.
FEMA has reportedly been in close contact with officials in Texas to organize aid, relief and support to the West area.
Cruz's rise to fame on a lie about his coming to America IMO has given him and insight as to go extreme and they will kiss your a-- meaning the republican party. i think he has gone to far to fast onthe mantle of right wing hate and meme, these other guys think he has the key so they follow close to his coat tails.
this brings to mind another young republican who was feeling his wild west oats and he and a few of the boyz named themselves "the young guns", he is the rep from Virginia, not so long ago they were hit by hurricanes, tornado's, flooding, and he had to know where the money for his home state was coming from and how it would get back before he authorized the release of relief funds, and the coup de grace spending cuts politics before life will Cruz hopefully goaway i mean go the way of Eric Cantor?
