Country musician and proud Texan Kacey Musgraves sells new goods that benefit residents of her home state – and Ted Cruz mercilessly trolls.
The latest product for sale on the artist’s website “Golden Hour” is a simple black and white T-shirt with the caption “Cruzin ‘for a Bruzin” – a clear excavation by the senator in Texas , who came under fire this week to travel with his family to Cancun, Mexico, as a deadly winter storm plagued the state.
Awarded $ 29.99 to the unisex singer of a ringtone, it is donated to various organizations that provide assistance to Texans affected by extremely cold temperatures, prolonged power outages and water shortages that the Lone Star State has already harass for a few days.
The anti-Cruz shirt can be purchased until Sunday, with the proceeds supporting Feed the People Dallas, Casa Marianella and the American Red Cross of Central and South Texas.

“No real bruises,” read the description of the product, while Musgraves launched a link to the article “Petition for @tedcruz to retweet” and announced on Twitter that she was “halfway to $ 100,000 for Texas. to gather.’
“Texas is cold, I can be cold,” Musgraves tweeted with the unveiling of her latest brand, based on a lyric from her song “Slow Burn.”
Musgraves is just one of several celebrities that Cruz recently mocked after the politician and his family boarded a plane to Cancun on Wednesday for a stay in a luxury resort while Texas was in crisis. Cruz claimed he only accompanied his daughters to their destination and planned to return home immediately. On his return Thursday, Cruz said his family trip was ‘obviously a mistake’.
Other entertainment figures who have condemned Cruz include Trevor Noah, Billy Eichner, Padma Lakshmi, George Takei, Roxane Gay and Seth Rogen, who have had several conversations with the legislature in the past.

I’m sorry, but if you’ve never dropped off your kids in Cancun during a pandemic and a humanitarian crisis in your home country, it’s probably because you’re just a liberal Hollywood elite with no values.

Not only did Cruz leave his state during a storm where millions of people did not have water or electricity due to government failure:
– the police let him speed through the airport
– blames the flight on his children
– planned his return trip again
– lied about it https://t.co/9cISUyin4U– Padma Lakshmi (@PadmaLakshmi) 18 February 2021
If you wanted to be a good father, @tedcruz you would not have spread the Big Lie, which caused an armed uprising at the Capitol that killed 5 people and injured 140 policemen.
And based on your baggage in those photos, your intention was by no means to simply “accompany” your family. https://t.co/drMJziEYfD

If you’re just going to drop off your daughter, why the giant suitcase of clothes? And do not you have to wait 72 hours to confirm a negative COVID test result before flying back? pic.twitter.com/8Po8OBMxtU

His statement is hilarious. I wonder how long it took to come up with that story. Do you also wear a Texas flag mask on the way home? Politics is a dirty, cynical business.

Ted Cruz, who escaped after two days of hardship with his family, still has no empathy for migrants who have escaped years of war, famine and terror.
