The White Home Twitter account referred to as out Ted Cruz after he praised a brand new freeway mission that he truly voted in opposition to.
The US Senator from Texas has seemingly been attempting to take credit score for the “Ports to Plains” mission, resulting in the White Home trolling the Republican politician.
“The Ports to Plains freeway will run from Laredo all the best way as much as North Dakota and into Canada. This mission will carry jobs to Texas and thousands and thousands of {dollars} to the state. An awesome bipartisan victory!” tweeted Mr Cruz.
In response, the White Home merely tweeted, “Senator Cruz voted in opposition to this.”
Based on Rolling Stone journal, funding for the mission was achieved via the omnibus $1.5 trillion appropriations invoice, which President Biden signed into regulation on 15 March.
A couple of days earlier the US Senate had handed the invoice 68-31. And whereas Senator John Cornyn from Texas voted in favor, Senator Cruz didn’t.
Mr Cruz has been a vocal supporter of the mission, however his spokesman informed Rolling Stone that the invoice he voted in opposition to was a “Democrat spending spree that contributed to an financial recession for American households.”
The senator’s press secretary Dave Vasquez added: “Ports-to-Plains may have simply and unanimously handed the Senate as a separate invoice, however it was rolled into the pork-filled omnibus package deal Democrats rammed via Congress.”
