    No doubt. Your reputation speaks for itself.

    You tried to spin/change his quote to help you make a point and got caught. He did put the onus of the decision on his daughters (i.e., blamed them for his decision making as if the 10 and 12 year olds are the primary decision makers). You just don't like it and tried to twist it. And no, nobody cares that you went to Palm Coast during Covid.

    BTW, none of this likely has anything to do with what happened almost 2 years later.

    Matt Gaetz thinks America shouldn’t go through the suicide trauma with a congressman and that it makes him unable to do his job. Of course that was Dem Representative Raskin not Cruz. Story from June.

    Matt Gaetz: Jamie Raskin is 'unable' to serve in Congress because his son died by suicide and it 'clouds his judgement'

    Gaetz said of Raskin. "I think that he takes that trauma and he associates it now with his work in the Congress in such an interwoven way that he's unable to do the Congressional experience outside of the dungeon of that personal trauma."

    The Florida congressman said he thinks it has made Raskin "look at everything in these very dark and severe ways" and that it "clouds his judgement."

    The country shouldn't have to go through all that with him," Gaetz continued.

    No. You are and others are just using “blame” about an issue that has nothing to do with his daughter and her serious issue. In a disgusting way you are taking his words and twisting them into a negative hate about him because you can. It is unfortunate there are people like you and @cocodrilo out there who have no regard for situational awareness. Just to score points you will use words and manipulate them to create a narrative to take shots at someone. Even when they are dealing with a serious issue like this. It speaks to your character.

    Cruz said why he chose to go to Mexico. He acknowledged it was a mistake. And here you are saying he “blamed” is daughter. Sick. But par for the course for you.

    No, I quoted him. Directly and exactly. No twisting at all. You twisted his words (without quoting them) to make excuses for him because he has an R next to his name. Nothing more than that.

    Technically, he blamed both of his daughters by making his bad choice into their choice. Sorry that makes you unhappy, but it is an accurate read of his words. So stop lying and making this about my character, when you were the one who chose to attack somebody who said something accurate by lying. And, again, I literally said that the incident didn't cause this incident. Just pointing out that he did it (which is accurate, even if you really, really wish it wasn't and try to lie to speak that into existence).

    Not lying. You are digging in for no reason and showing your character.

    Keep it up if you wish. It speaks volumes.

    Keep lying if you wish (again, I quoted Cruz and demonstrated that he said what you disputed). It speaks volumes.

    Gaetz is something you scrape off the bottom of your shoe.

    The implicit comparison with Matt Gaetz is an insult to animal excrement.

    Hope his daughter gets help she needs. My reasonable suggestion to Cruz? Resign. Stop being a political troll. Focus on family.

    Lots of things in life that are toxic and voluntary. Not sure how this helps other than securing an echo chamber for your rants.

    Incorrect! If it were an echo chamber no one else would be replying (including yourself).

    It did not take long for this thread to turn political but when the letters MAGA were mentioned this thread should have been shut down as quicker than my Pearl Harbor Day thread was this morning. At least my offending post was in jest, you fools are serious.

    I am not lying about anything. Stating what happened and my opinion. If you want to go low in a situation like this it speaks about you. Is what it is.
