The Texas senator repeats myths about the funding for Sandy relief, which led him to oppose the 2013 bill. (Congress spent two months debating Sandy aid.) Ted Cruz & Texas cohorts voted vs NY/NJ aid after Sandy but I'll vote 4 Harvey aid. Cruz said on NBC he supports the federal government's role providing hurricane and disaster relief. And East Coast Republicans who were on the receiving end of Republicans' fiscal conservatism four years ago can't help put point out the irony.
