A Washington Post opinions editor came down hard on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and other Texas officials for decades of failures to protect children who attended Camp Mystic on the Guadalupe River.
Laura McGann posted on social media in response to a clip of Cruz brushing off “weather modification” as a cause of the flooding.
“To the best of my knowledge, there is zero evidence of anything related to anything like weather modification,” Cruz said. “Look, the internet can be a strange place. People can come up with all sorts of crazy theories.”
McGann responded, “Ted Cruz doesn’t have to believe in climate change to take some responsibility here. Mystic’s bunks first flooded in the ’30s. Kids died on a school bus in a flood in the ’80s. Adults have had 100 years to protect kids who go to summer camp along this river.”
At least 89 people were killed in the flooding, including 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic.
