Sen. John Cornyn, Gov. Greg Abbott -- but not Ted Cruz -- to meet with Joe Biden in Texas

WASHINGTON — Two out of Texas' top three Republican officials will meet with President Joe Biden during his Friday trip to Houston following the state's winter storm and power outages last week.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, plan to join Biden and first lady Jill Biden as they survey storm and power grid damage, visit an emergency operations center and food bank and stop by NRG Stadium, a mass vaccination site.

The state's other senator, Ted Cruz, won't be joining them.

Cruz instead spoke Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Fla., shortly before Biden departed to Texas. Cruz's presence at CPAC came after he faced enormous scrutiny for flying to Cancun, Mexico, last week – only to return the next day – amid the power outage crisis in Texas.

Rafael is busy basking in adulation and getting tinkled on. He considers that more important than his fellow Texans digging out and cleaning up from the snowstorm.

and with Trump, he has learned he no longer needs to pretend to give a shit about anyone. The bigger asshole you can be, the better the repubs like you.
