And we know why he’s pushing it.
Ted Cruz has developed quite the reputation of being incredibly good at *not doing the job he was elected for* — but when he has decided to work, it hasn't been for Texans, John — it's been for himself.👇
That’s right — after being caught red-handed fleeing the Lone Star State for a Cancun getaway — Ted is now leading the effort to seek airport police escorts for lawmakers.
While this amendment is part of a larger bill to fund the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the next 4 years (that will likely pass) — we all know the real reason Ted is pushing for this.
If Ted Cruz wants another vacation in Cancun, we're eager to help him — by showing him the door to retirement this November! Click here to chip in to send Ted packing!
Instead of working to solve the crisis at the southern border that he and other Republicans in part have caused or keeping our kids safe from gun violence, Ted has decided to prioritize taxpayer-funded private security.
Moreover even airport law enforcement is against this. In response to Cruz’s amendment, the Airport Law Enforcement Agencies Network — an organization that in part represents the interests of airport law enforcement across the country said the following:
[Cruz's amendment] Would prove a burden to airport police agencies...that are not adequately funded.
Texans should NOT be responsible to pay for the security of a senator who treats this job like a part-time gig anyways.
Enough is enough, John. No matter how he tries to portray this amendment, nothing can change the truth: Ted Cruz fled our state while Texans froze in the dark.
It's time for him to go on a no-expenses paid, permanent vacation from the Senate. Please pitch in $5 or what works for you today so we can make this goal a reality in November.
