It seems like the bigger the profile of many of our elected politicians enjoy the more offensive they become.

The sometime exalted Senator Cruz (okay---at least he thinks so) picked this week to skip out of Texas and bask in the sun offered in Mexico. He has every right to do that and I believe that the trip had been planned---and of course you can't cancel such a venture---but in any event he might keep this event in mind as he freely attacks those on his left:

Even before he skipped town, Mr. Cruz’s critics were already recirculating tweets he sent last summer criticizing California for being “unable to perform even basic functions of civilization” after the state’s governor asked residents to conserve electricity during a spate of deadly wildfires. Mr. Cruz lampooned California’s “failed energy policy” as the product of liberal excess.

Mr. Cruz had been acutely aware of the possible crisis in advance. In a radio interview on Monday, he said the state could see 100 or more deaths this week. “So don’t risk it. Keep your family safe and just stay home and hug your kids,” he said.

More recently, in December, Mr. Cruz had attacked a Democrat, Mayor Stephen Adler of Austin, for taking a trip to Cabo while telling constituents to “stay home” during the pandemic.

“Hypocrites,” Mr. Cruz wrote on Twitter. “Complete and utter hypocrites.”
Yes sir---you can say that again: “Complete and utter hypocrites.”
