Senator Ted Cruz is facing a wave of mockery on Twitter after saying “America doesn’t leave Americans behind” – reminding many observers of his ill-timed trip to Cancun.
On Monday, Mr Cruz posted a clip of a CNN report on a Texas family left stranded in Afghanistan after the final round of evacuations ended. The last American troops in the country departed this week, even as hundreds of United States citizens remained – though the Biden administration has said it will continue working to get them out.
The senator was indignant.
“This is horrifying. And wrong,” Mr Cruz tweeted. “America doesn’t leave Americans behind.”
Unfortunately for the senator, observers on Twitter appeared to have a long memory.

What does his trip to Cancun have to do with the withdrawal in Afghanistan...that is a stretch for even an independent news source...that's like saying me buying tires effects the price of eggs in China. If we want to talk abut ill timed trips, let's talk Biden at Camp David while all of this Afghanistan crap was happening.
