The liberal media has no interest in Hunter Biden’s corruption or Andrew Cuomo’s body count, but they are all over the major “scandal” of Ted Cruz going to Cancun to escape the big Texas freeze. I wonder if political party affiliation has anything to do with this discrepancy of outrage. In any case, one of the lies about Cruz is that he abandoned his pet dog to freeze to death and since Hillary Clinton never met a lie she doesn’t like, she jumped on it like Bill on an intern.
It was bad optics for Senator Ted Cruz to take his family on vacation in Mexico as Texas suffered power outages from an uncharacteristic winter storm. But let’s get real: it’s not like he’s the governor or a mayor or anyone who has the responsibility or authority to deal with the crisis. He’s a U.S. Senator whose only duty is to press Congress and the president for disaster relief, something he doesn’t need to be in Texas for.
The liberal media has gone off completely, treating Cruz’s trip to Cancun like its Watergate times a million. As Fox News reports:
Ted Cruz’s Cancun trip focus of CNN, MSNBC primetime, not Cuomo nursing home scandal
The liberal primetime hosts on CNN and MSNBC overwhelmingly kept their focus on Sen. Ted Cruz while virtually ignoring the growing legal woes plaguing Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The embattled governor earned less than three minutes of coverage across the six most-watched shows on the liberal networks. The GOP senator, however, collectively earned over a whopping 46 minutes of coverage.
This is the same liberal media that gave almost no coverage to democratic governors and mayors vacationing and partying after ordering COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, but Ted Cruz is a Republican so, you know.
Part of this overblown coverage of the non-scandalous Ted Cruz scandal involves implying that he abandoned his dog to freeze to death:

The article however doesn’t support the tweet or the headline that the dog was abandoned:
From the street, Cruz’s white, Colonial Revival–style mansion looked dark and uninhabited. A neighbor informed me that the block had indeed lost power before finally getting it back late Wednesday night. A glance at the lighted lanterns flanking the doorways of other homes on the block confirmed this. The senator’s story appeared to check out. But then I heard barking and noticed a small, white dog looking out the bottom right pane of glass in the senator’s front door. Had Cruz left his dog behind?
As I approached to knock, a man stepped out of the Suburban parked in Cruz’s driveway. “Is this Senator Cruz’s house?” I asked. He said it was, that Cruz wasn’t home, and identified himself as a security guard. When asked who was taking care of the dog, the guard volunteered that he was. Reassured of the dog’s well-being, I returned to my car. Before leaving, though, I took a photo of the house from my car window, making sure not to include the house address.
In other words, Ted Cruz didn’t abandon his pet poodle, Snowflake.
When it comes to outrage, liberals can’t be concerned with facts, so here’s CNN police analyst, April Ryan running with the lie:
Not only did Senator Ted Cruz & his family abandon the people of #Texas for a vacation in #Cancun during the winter crisis; but they also abandoned their dog!#TedCruz #CancunCruz #FreeSnowflake https://t.co/oYOatVtseG

And in a desperate attempt at relevancy, Hillary Clinton jumped on the dog pile:
Don’t vote for anyone you wouldn’t trust with your dog.

With this sad cry for attention, Hillary proves what a witless fool she is. If the lie is to be believed, it’s not that you can’t trust Ted Cruz with your dog, it’s that he can’t be trusted with his own dog.
Here’s some better ones for the entire Clinton clan:
Don’t vote for anyone you can’t trust with national secrets.
Don’t vote for anyone you can’t trust with a Libyan embassy.
Don’t vote for anyone you can’t trust with cigars.
Don’t vote for anyone you can’t trust with your daughter.
Don’t vote for anyone you can’t trust to not kill you if you have the dirt on them.
