MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” brought on a GOP communications strategist Friday to discuss Sen. Ted Cruz’s border-hopping, mid-emergency jaunt to Cancun, Mexico. His assessment? “A dumbass move.”
Here are Rick Tyler’s thoughts in full: “Look, I’m just a dumb country comms guy and in the very sophisticated world of political communication, this is what you call a dumbass move. There’s no excuse for it.”
Tyler lamented not only the lack of leadership displayed by Cruz in jetting to a Cancun resort as millions of his constituents went without heat or electricity and numerous died, but the Texas Republican’s lack of leadership shown through the pandemic and baselessly contested election, too.
