There should be a few unwritten rules for social media and podcasters.
- Never compare anything to the Holocaust.
- Never compare anything to 9/11.
- Never exploit the death of a child.
Case in point:
Reminder: An 11 year-old boy froze to death last week in Texas while trying to keep his 3 year-old brother warm. https://t.co/5kdhItFPbP

Don’t do that.
We get it, Ted dared take his family out of the winter storm and should have stayed put, climbing those wind turbines himself and knocking the ice from the blades. And it is a terrible and tragic loss, which is why Brian probably thought it would garner him a lot of clicks and taps for attention.
And speaking of attention:
Yup, Jake Tapper retweeted this ugliness:
Always keeping it classy.
This you?

Yeah, the bio for this podcaster is pretty hilarious considering he’s using the tragic death of a child to play politics.

Yeah, it's all Ted Cruz' fault. As a U.S. Senator, he is responsible for the state infrastructure and was in charge of determining which home had power and which did not. He is also in charge of local utility districts and water quality.
Oh, wait.

Right, it’s all Ted’s fault!
Oh, wait.
