This man went from being caught slipping to caught sleeping in a span of two months.
Senator Ted Cruz, who abandoned his state and fled to Cancun during a severe snowstorm in February that knocked out a power grid, was caught on camera in a dope nod during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech Wednesday night. The Texas Republican appeared to be fast asleep when the camera cut to him. He opened his eyes to half mast, then nodded off again before the camera finally cut away.
“#SleepyTed” was the first to start trending Wednesday night, with tweets reminding folks that Cruz copied Donald Trump in referring to
Pfluger, Gonzales Pan President Biden s State of the Union Address
WASHINGTON, D.C. Neither Del Rio s nor San Angelo s congressmen, both Republicans, were impressed with President Joe Biden s State of the Union Address on the evening of April 28.
Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement following President Joe Biden’s Wednesday address to a Joint Session of Congress:
“Tonight, President Biden outlined his plans to radically change America and push us farther down the path of socialism. The enormous federal programs he proposed will raise taxes, increase our Nation’s dependence on the welfare state, and further centralize control in Washington, D.C. He spoke of bipartisanship and discussion, yet over and over again, Republicans in Congress have been blocked from participating in an open, transparent debate to speak up for our constituents.
Is the GOP Marching Toward Irrelevancy?
U.S. politics have evolved into an arms race to give people benefits with the power they confer upon elected representatives. The GOP can accept this fact or continue its march toward irrelevancy, winning only when Americans are momentarily fed up with the Democratic Party.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) appears to have nodded off during President Joe Biden’sState of the Union address to Congress. Cruz and the rest of the GOP may as well have been in the arms of Morpheus because Biden has successfully taken the populist torch that former President Donald Trump lit without even noticing.

Welp, break out the champagne Black folks.
Sen. Tim Scott said Wednesday night that America is no longer “a racist country.” And oh… how Twitter has responded.
“Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country. It’s backwards to fight discrimination with different discrimination. And it’s wrong to try to use our painful past to dishonestly shut down debates in the present,” the Senate’s lone Black Republican declared during his party’s official response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address in the House of Representatives.
“Original sin is never the end of the story. Not in our souls and not for our nation. The real story is always redemption,” Scott continued.
