John Oliver on the Texas freeze fiasco


He roundly criticizes all those responsible for what was a foreseen and avoidable disaster.

Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shames Ted Cruz by raising $5 million to help Texans while he was gallivanting off to Cancun.

We should also recall that Cruz was one of those people who objected to aiding people in other states who got hit with natural disasters. I am sure that he is opposing all federal aid to Texas now because he is a person who stands on principle, right?

    Texas republicans will use federal funds to pay extortionist energy companies who are ripping off ordinary Texans after they failed to upgrade their facilities (even though they had ten years to do it) after a deep freeze crippled the state this week, a senior congressman said… There, fixed it for them.

    Yes, he is -- like the way Derek Chauvin stood on George Floyd.

    The people of Texas didn’t choose to lose power, heat and water for days this week

    They have been consistently voting Republican for decades, so in a sense the did.
