Bette Midler just destroyed Ted Cruz
Republican Senator Ted Cruz isn’t just one of the most corrupt, extremist, and mean spirited people in politics. He’s also one of the most tone-deaf. Cruz famously ran off to Cancun for a vacation while his state of Texas was under emergency conditions. Now Cruz has a particularly tone-deaf message for those Americans who are still out of work from the pandemic: “Get a job.”
No really, he said this. Artist and activist Bette Midler was having none of it, ripping Ted Cruz to pieces:
#Ted "Get a Job" #Cruz has a great job; he sits on his fat ass all day, collects $175,000 a year for doing ZIP but opposing #progress, with staff, office, police escorts, donors & bootlickers galore, and a pension vested after 5 years of "service". He deserves to lose that job.

Here’s the kicker. The main reason so many Americans are still out of work is that Donald Trump, who hails from Ted Cruz’s Republican Party, did such a negligent job of botching the pandemic response that it led to an economic collapse that President Biden is still bringing us out of. Bette Midler is right: Ted Cruz shouldn’t be a Senator. He should resign immediately.
