Payback’s a seaside.
As soon as ridiculed by Sen. Ted Cruz for lounging on the sand throughout a state authorities shutdown, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie mentioned this week he has little sympathy for the embattled Texas lawmaker amid his tone-deaf jaunt to Cancun, Mexico.
Merely put, Christie declared Friday on Fox Information Radio’s “Man Benson Present,” Cruz has “simply not been a really likeable man.”
The 2 turned a memorable meme this week, after Web wags doctored Christie’s notorious 2017 beachfront snap to indicate the Texas senator becoming a member of the sun-worshipping governor.
Requested in regards to the meme, Christie mentioned “the media likes to pile on Republicans, and that’s a component of it.”
However Cruz, he went on, “has taken each probability he can to take photographs at individuals on each side of the aisle over the course of his profession.”
“And so whenever you try this, whenever you determine that’s what you wish to do, and particularly on private issues, there’s not going to be a ton of individuals operating to your protection.”
In 2017, Cruz snarked that Christie “ought to return to the seaside,” after the then-governor criticized the Texas pol’s request for federal assist after Hurricane Harvey.
Christie’s pot-calling-the-kettle-black crack got here as Cruz continued to take warmth for flying to sunny Cancun together with his household this week — as Texas suffered the lethal aftereffects of a brutal winter storm.
With thousands and thousands of his constituents coping with harsh chilly, energy outages and water shortages, Cruz wound up turning proper round and flying again to Texas in shame, although his household stayed on within the Mexican seaside resort, having fun with the solar and sand.
“It was clearly a mistake,” Cruz conceded Thursday of taking the trip.
