Rosa Cruz
Ted Cruz has hired himself a herd of writ twits and is suing the Federal Elections Commission over $10,000.
Cruz, as Buzzfeed reported in April, “is suing to get rid of limits on how much he can reimburse himself for his campaign against Beto O’Rourke.” Cruz loaned his own campaign $260,000, but legally can only repay himself $250,000. He wants the remaining $10,000.
For a guy who is worth close to $4 million, this seems a little petty.
Until, of course, you understand this is about more than money for Cruz. It’s a chance to follow in the footsteps of great Americans.
Cruz argues in court on official documents that … you kinda need to prepare yourself for this … not letting him get his $10,000 is just like telling Rosa Parks to sit on the back of the bus. Just like it.
The rich white straight privileged guy is the victim here. You know, just like Rosa Parks. Ted Cruz has become the very people he cheerfully oppressed.
Next week’s trick: Ted Cruz nails himself to the cross.
Look if Rosa Parks had $250,000, she wouldn’t have been taking the damn bus. So just shuddup.
And if Ted went ahead and wrote himself a check for the $10,000 and then went to jail as a matter of principle, I’d give the boy some scratching room, but he won’t do that. Wanna know why? Because he’s not one damn thing like Rosa Parks.
Do you think that Ted Cruz has ever been on a bus
1Legalities aside, isn’t $10G a little cheap for the misery it must be to be Teddie Crooze? Awful has a price tag, when it’s on a sales rack. There you go, Texas. When the election to rid yourselves of Teddie presents the opportunity, run someone against “discount Ted.”
2I would gladly start a Go Fund Me for Raphael, if he would agree to leave the USA. We could hire a whole bus of Freedom Riders, get John Lewis on board, and drive Cruz out of the country. Maybe Canada would take him back with enough $$$$ changing hands. He is, after all a Canadian citizen, not that they would openly admit it.
3I take Ted at his word. I think he does know what it was like for Rosa Parks. After all, Ted always sits in back of the limo.
Same thing.
