Ted Cruz was less than impressed with Democrats flying to El Salvador to 'play footsie' with violent gang members on the taxpayers' dollar. That being said, he was more than happy to encourage Hakeem Jeffries and other Democrats to 'keep it up,' because it's only hurting their party.
This zinger from Cruz is a humdinger:
Hakeem, allowing your members to fly to El Salvador on the taxpayers dime to play footsie with violent gang members was obviously astonishingly bad politics.

Please, keep it up! 🤣🤣 https://t.co/uTh0x1gnh1
Astonishingly BAD politics.
The worst.
Jeffries fired back.
Sorta.
This from someone who abandoned his state during a historic winter storm to vacation in Cancun.

Nobody takes you seriously at this point.
And that’s Leader Jeffries to you, Edward. https://t.co/qSONuIkDLc
And that's Leader Jeffries to you, Edward.

Maybe this sounded better in Jeffries' head? It had to because on X it's just painfully hilarious.
That’s”Senator Cruz” to you, Dollar Store Obama. And you can call me “Colonel.”

You are not a serious person.

Not even a little bit.
OK TEMU Obama!

He so badly wants to be important and edgy.
Says the lower chamber number two in charge whose party has 27% approval rating. This must sting so bad @tedcruz, right?

You were just having a sing-a-thon on the People’s steps and you’re talking about being taken seriously?

Nice try Dollar Store Obama but the fact is, you don't control your Caucus. AOC and the squad do.

You continue to stoop lower and lower.

As do his party's approval ratings.
