Raw Story: Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz and right wing extremists Erick Erickson, Dinesh D’Souza, Ben Shapiro, and Donald Trump, Jr., all thought there was nothing a sitting U.S. Senator could do for the millions of people freezing and starving in the Lone Star State.
Team AOC is launching relief efforts for Texas starting today.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 18, 2021
Our first effort is a partnership w/ 5 Texas orgs getting on-the-ground relief to Texans ASAP.
If you’re able, please donate here – it’ll split your contribution to all 5.
💯% goes to them.https://t.co/TTIiNimja7
After massive internet outrage – outrage that was called “cancel culture” today in a rant from Trump Jr. – Senator Cruz hightailed it back to America from his Cancun crash pad at the Ritz Carlton, put out a statement lying about the origins of his Mexico excursion, literally lied some more, and came home to his Houston home that was empty except for his dog Snowflake and his security guard hanging out in his car in the driveway.
Beto O'Rourke organized 300,000 volunteer phone calls today to help senior citizens in Texas. AOC raised $1 million for relief efforts. Meanwhile, Ted Cruz is doing a media tour explaining why he flew to Cancun. What an amazing, historic piece of shit that guy is. pic.twitter.com/FSOcjrtQL9

While the Texas Senator was doing all this, a Congresswoman from New York City went to work for his constituents, because someone had to.
