(sigh)\nOkay Ted, here we go\u2026\n\nNot as disappointed as Texas was when you cut your Cancun vacation short and came home.https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1435836521920270338\u00a0\u2026— Patton Oswalt (@Patton Oswalt) 1631186986

Ted, my fans are all at home, waiting to see you at the January 6th hearings.— Patton Oswalt (@Patton Oswalt) 1631186987

Are you disappointed that 1,557 people in your state died of COVID in the last seven days - an average of 222 a day? Or is that okay with you? Any comments about that?— TheValuesVoter (@TheValuesVoter) 1631195086
650K Americans have died, 1500 more are dying/day, Texas leads America in infections\u2014and @TedCruz instead mocks @pattonoswalt for caring about the health & safety of his fellow Americans more than he cares about making money.\n\nIt\u2019s called integrity. No wonder Cruz can\u2019t relate.pic.twitter.com/wq2U6B8yrn— Qasim Rashid, Esq. (@Qasim Rashid, Esq.) 1631197261
