One of the more high profile stories this week was that of a Texas salon owner getting arrested for the apparent crime of not closing her business in defiance of government orders. Gov. Greg Abbott later ordered her released, and one of her first customers upon returning to work was Sen. Ted Cruz:

Another member of Congress from Texas, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, had a question about the reaction from many politicians after the outbreak is over:
Serious question. Come election season, how many politicians will claim they “took action” and “protected the public” when in reality, they just arrested moms and dads for trying to feed their families?

The number will definitely be high.
