Cruz says he has ‘no defense’ for mocking California’s past power outages as Texas’ grid falters amid historic freeze


WASHINGTON — Confronted with his mocking last year of California over that state’s power outages during a heat wave, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz late on Tuesday said he had “no defense” for his past criticism as Texas’ power grid falters amid a historic winter storm.

“I got no defense,” the Republican wrote on Twitter, quoting a news story about others highlighting his jabs at California. “A blizzard strikes Texas & our state shuts down. Not good.”

Cruz and other Republican leaders in Texas have come under an intense spotlight during the ongoing power failure, which has left millions of Texans without electricity for hours and even days as the state deals with dangerously cold temperatures and icy conditions.

That scrutiny has come, in part, over some Republicans’ past responses to disasters in other states.

Cruz, among others, received criticism for his opposition to certain federal aid to states hit by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The senator also earned blowback for the taunts he aimed at California last year, when that state endured power outages during a severe heat wave.
