Ted Cruz Begs For Federal Relief Money For Houston Flooding After Denying It For Sandy Victims

Ted Cruz, the same Tea Party Senator that voted against aid for victims of Hurricane Sandy because it was "wasteful", shows off his astonishing hypocrisy by announcing that he will work with Democrats to "stand as one in support of the federal government meeting its statutory obligations.

It turns out that Texas is the biggest recipient of federal disaster relief money in the country, as 46 counties are in a state of emergency. For all the railing that Ted Cruz does against "big government" and "wasteful spending", he sure is quick to change his tune. The disaster in Texas is an absolute tragedy, but it's equally appalling to see Cruz flip-flop after attempting to deny critical disaster relief to other Americans for partisan brownie points.
