While in self-quarantine, Sen. Ted Cruz critical of Trump administration's handling of coronavirus

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has been a loyal supporter of President Donald Trump, but he was critical of the administration’s response to the ongoing public health crisis over novel coronavirus and its rollout of tests, saying it was "undoubtedly" too slow.

"There are areas in the public health crisis that I think the administration has done well," Cruz, who remains in self-quarantine due to the virus, told ABC News Live Friday evening. "There are areas where they have not done as well, and they need to do better."

"I think the rollout of the test was clearly problematic," he added. "There were mistakes in terms of the efficacy."

He later added that tests should have been delivered across the country "with speed and efficiency," and said that the "bureaucracy was a little bit slow in bringing the private sector into it."

It's weird that he's still in quarantine if he can just take the tests.

Trump: Shut up, or I'll start talking again about how your father killed JFK!

Cruz (in a whiny voice): I'll be good!

You should have thought of that when you voted to allow a mentally ill jackass to remain as president. Thoughts and prayers and fuck you Grandpa Munster.

The private sector trying to find a way to maximize profits off the sick and dying is a big part of the problem, jackass. We should have been using the WHO tests for weeks and months now.

Ted Cruz is an ineffectual idiot.

question everything

And I cannot see the Republicans tolerate him more than they did in 2016. And, again, will have to decide between him and a Trump - Jr. or Ivanka.
