There are a lot of hypocrites in politics, people who will say one thing and do another. But none can match Ted Cruz. He’s on a completely different level from everyone else. And there are reasons for his particular noxious brand of sanctimonious piety. For one thing, it pays well. “Ted Cruz has spent years doing big oil’s bidding, gutting climate research, defunding NOAA, and weakening the very systems meant to warn and protect the public,’ said Cassidy DiPaola, communications director of Fossil Free Media. Ted Cruz will always put the interests of his benefactors ahead of Texans, even when that means death and destruction. It’s just the way he rolls.

Ted Cruz has had quite a week. On Tuesday, the Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting.

“There’s no doubt afterwards we are going to have a serious retrospective as you do after any disaster and say ‘OK what could be done differently to prevent this disaster?’” Cruz told Fox News. “The fact you have girls asleep in their cabins when flood waters are rising, something went wrong there. We’ve got to fix that and have a better system of warnings to get kids out of harm’s way.”
