Ted Cruz Called Out For Hypocrisy After Mocking Struggling Families With 'Magic Money Tree' Comment

Senators Ed Markey (D-MA), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Kamala Harris (D-CA) have introduced a bill to provide Americans with $2000 a month, retroactive to March, to help struggling families stay afloat during the economic disruption wrought by the pandemic.

But another politician disagrees.




Ted Cruz (R-TX) called out the proposal, joking that we should give everyone $1 million a day forever from our "magic money tree." He also suggested we give people three soy lattes and a foot massage.

The proposal can be debated for its efficacy and cost, but it's a very real attempt to try to alleviate the issue facing the nation.

So Markey shot back.



The conversation surrounding the bill didn't remain between the two senators either. Cruz, who is no stranger to drawing the ire of the internet, once again became the butt of jokes.

Specifically, many called him out for criticizing the bill for its cost when he's voted on much more expensive pieces of legislation.

Some even connect it to his donors for reelection.





Cruz and other Tea Party members have been very vocal in their criticism of government spending in other areas. They even bucked their own party, criticizing the CARES act for the cost.

Despite this, Cruz did eventually vote to pass the bill.

The conversation over the bill didn't remain between senators. Others online soon joined in, making fun of Cruz's inept attempt to criticize the bill.

It would seem many online do not care for Ted Cruz.






Congress is still trying to find another solution to the help struggling Americans. The House of Representatives has passed their own take on the next relief package, but discussions with the Republican held Senate haven't moved forward.

Whether or not another relief bill gets passed remains to be seen. For now, people should try to help each other as much as they can.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
