Ted Cruz still doesn't care, and he's the Senator for the state.

How much has Cruz raised now?

Is it still $Zero?

That’s not how being a senator works. When there is a natural disaster, the senators of that state don’t start fundraisers.

No, they beg the feds for money, even though they didn't want to give it to any other states during their disasters.

Many thanks to the democrat for raising so much money for people in a state that did not elect her.

That's great.

Hat's off to AOC for actually walking the walk in this instance.

I still despise that she tries to spin any disagreement with her into "you're racist" or "you hate women" but I can recognize that even politicians can do something good once in a while.

AOC is making him look like a fool in his own state, but really....it didnt take much. People talk like he has no power to help his state, but AOC proved that to be a lie. People need to step up and act like they are leaders, Cruz has failed to do so in a spectacular fashion.

Brilliant! LOL!

I think she was fundraising well before Cruz was called out and shamed into coming home. And what was his contribution to help his home state, oh yeah he went to CPAC to praise Trump and slam AOC for having compassion for those in crisis in his home state.
