Ted Cruz tweets something stupid and then deletes it

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

why is this a stupid tweet? El Paso sits right on the border with Mexico.
Why is this tweet shocking? It's tweeted by a Senator of Texas

1. Hmmm, I used to walk across a bridge in El Paso to go to Juarez, which only

took a few minutes. Did cancun cruz flunk geography?

[madinmaryland]

2. I remember doing that when I visited El Paso with my family

50 years ago! We just walked across and spent a couple of hours in Juarez.

[d_r]

6. You mean the bridge

Over the Rio Grande?

[mercuryblues]

13. I rented a car in El Paso

When I pulled out of the lot, I went right, instead of left. Almost ended up in Juarez by mistake.

24. And your gravity fails and negativity don't pull you through,

Don’t put on any airs when you’re down on Rue Morgue Avenue.
They got some hungry women there that’ll really make a mess out of you.

The man is geniuus.

26. 800 mile walk!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. In "a few minutes"! That's some serious power-walking.

Cancun cruz needs a geography lesson.

[Ocelot II]

3. He knows where Cancun is, though.

And how did the city of El Paso know which people were "illegal aliens" so they could be cleared from the streets before the president arrived? Also, if they were illegal, why hadn't they been deported already?

Sorry, Ted. You or one of the morons on your staff really screwed the pooch on this one. Deleting it was useless because the Internet is forever.

[whopis01]

21. That's the issue - it is like 2000 miles from El Paso to Cancun

you call that a border? Clearly El Paso is nowhere near Mexico.

4. Holy Moley.

So, if his geography is so bad, maybe Cruz thought Cancun was an island off the coast of Texas?

10. Cruz is as ugly on the inside as ugly on the outside.

5. Cancun Cruz only knows geography that allows him to vacation.

7. The asshole senator from Texas

[Carlitos Brigante]

8. That map doesn't look accurate...... Hold on, let me grab my Sharpie so I can fix it. nt

[underpants]

19. 😆

[TheBlackAdder]

30. Texas isn't even 800 miles tall or wide.

32. It is roughly 750 miles driving distance from el paso to houston.

9. His geography reflects his obliviousness to the constituents he doesn't represent.

He thinks the dudes who go hunting with him actually *like* him. They don't. They're donors looking for a stooge.

23. "Killing is as close to heaven as one can find on earth"??????

[CanonRay]

11. Excuse me, but isn't El Paso still in Texas?

Doesn't he represent Texas? Maybe he should hang a map of it on his wall.

[Emile]

12. I remember dropping semi trailers in a drop lot in El Paso for

Mexican drivers to pick up and drive across the border. Maybe Ted needs to spend more time in Texas instead of Cancun.

[republianmushroom]

14. Cruz is not the brightest bulb on that republican porch.

[CTyankee]

15. My mother was born in El Paso. She'd be a bit surprised to learn of the geographic twist...

[tishaLA]

16. Cruz accusing literally anyone of political theater is rich AF

his only competition is Gym Jordan, Josh Hawley, and Lindsey.

[FailureToCommunicate]

17. "800 miles"? More like 800 feet. Maybe that's what Texas Sen. Cancun Cruz meant to type.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Nah, That Part is Accurate

It's 11+ hours to drive from El Paso to Brownsville. But, El Paso is no farther from Mexico than Brownsville.
One could take a short walk into Mexico from either city.

[not fooled]

22. The point for him is

to have his moronic admirers believe that Biden stayed 800 miles away from "the border."

Mission Accomplished, although I guess this whopper was too brazen to fly so he took it down.

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. He's lost it

Yes, the LOWER Rio Grande Valley is in South Texas, but there's also a Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico, where the river cuts through the state.

I really wonder about his status in the Cruz household. He may be a senator, but his wife is the primary breadwinner by far. It's common knowledge that he's universally loathed in DC, by both parties. His poor daughter is a mess. I wouldn't be surprised if Heidi dumped his loser ass.

[lees1975]

27. It's not even 800 feet from El Paso to the Mexican border.

The city limits of El Paso run right along the Rio Grande with the border for more than 30 miles. And the fact that the President chose El Paso, instead of Brownsville, indicates that he knows a lot more about what's going on along the border than Cruz does.

28. Ted Cruz has a podcast and this is a photo of the set

See that cactus behind him used as set dressing? That's a deliberate choice. Along with the dark colors, the wood paneling and the leather chesterfield chair, it reads: "Texan but classy"

That is a Saguaro cactus. It's native to Arizona. Its blossom is their state flower. Saguaro National Park is named for it.

The Saguaro is not native to Texas. Texas' state plant is the Prickly Pear Cactus.

This is how little Ted Cruz knows or cares about Texas.

31. cut cruzie some slack

he’s thinking of HIS house to Cancun

[uponit7771]

33. Cruz should get his head checked, there's something wrong with dude

[catrose]

34. Hard to believe there is something too stupid for him

[DFW]

35. No wonder McConnell fell and hurt himself

He should never have been shown this before being told to sit down first.

[DFW]

36. Well, I WOULD have said Cruz shouled just go back to Canada, but.........

If he thinks El Paso is 800 miles from the Rio Grande, he probably can't find his way back to Canada, either.

Hey, Ted? It's in Pyongyang! You should get yourself a one way ticket!
