Apparently Heidi Cruz, (wife of DespicableT, Raphael “Ted” Cruz), really put her foot in her mouth in the most Republican of ways. In an interview with The Atlantic, Ms. Cruz lamented that she and Lyin Ted can’t afford a second home because his U.S. Senate salary is only $174,000 per year.
Wow! The tone deafness is amazing. Of course, Ted’s 174K is nearly four times the U.S. average income of $46,000 per year. It seems that Heidi is a little resentful of the fact that she must work long hours as a Goldman Sachs managing director. I guess she’s tired of being the primary earner in the household. Most estimate that in her position, Heidi probably earns about $500K.
She’s also feeling that her husband’s constituents should be a bit more appreciative of the Cruz family’s sacrifices that have allowed Ted to “serve” the people. She said, “Uh, yeah, this is when people say thank you. I’ll now take that appreciation.”
Maybe some kind Republican will set up a go fund me page to help the struggling Cruz family achieve their dream of buying a second home. Screw the people who can’t afford even one home, or the rent on a basic apartment.
I just do not get these people!
Absolutely nothing would make me happier than seeing Beto O’Rourke take Ted’s job. I suspect that Beto would not have a problem with the salary.
