The senator did get support from one friend.
His feed is filled with retweets of posts from fellow conservatives and attacks on prominent Democrats.
In response to the Cruz incident, Don Jr. once again used a whataboutism tactic.
The group posted several tweets criticizing Ted Cruz for leaving Texas during a time of crisis.
One of themsaid: “‘When the going gets tough…head to Cancun, baby!’
-@tedcruz (probably).”
In response, Don Jr.tweeted, “Still so much better than covering for sexual predators.”
The reference was to recent allegations that Lincoln Project co-founder John Weaver sexually harassed young men (viaCNN).
Many pointed out the ex-president’s friendship with financier and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
One womancalled attentionto the actual crisis: “Right now Texas is in a state of emergency.
Take a break and show some compassion towards anyone else besides yourself.”
This hasn’t stopped Don Jr. from continuing to defend Cruz.
Trump Jr. added that the ultimate responsibility for the crisis in Texas lies with Gov.
Abbott, not a U.S. senator.
