Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who was infamously caught running out of his state after their power grid froze -- leaving his constituents to die -- complained on Fox News that California Governor Gavin Newsom was using air conditioning during a heat wave.

California is in the midst of a historic heat wave that is leading to mandatory conservation of energy throughout the state.

California also just passed historic legislation banning the purchase of gasoline-fueled cars by 2035, which has tweaked Big Oil supporters to no end.

Without a hint of irony, Watters said, "You don't like to see your fellow Americans without power in the summertime, but ..." Watters said.

Hello Cancun Cruz.

"It's not complicated," Cruz said.

"It's a policy that lets people heat their homes and cool their homes and drive their cars and get them to work and take care of their kids," he said.

Cruz actually said the Democratic Party is now "the party of the rich, by the rich and for the rich."

I'm serious. Cruz said that.

The Texas Senator then claimed California is governed by billionaires.

"I love that Gavin Newsom was wearing his fleece obviously in cool air conditioning, let them eat cake, let them sweat. You don't get air conditioning," he said.

As if Ted Cruz cares for the working class at all, he said, "You need to go without an automobile. You need to turn your air conditioner off. In fact, you need to just stay home and eat worms," he said.

All Ted Cruz can do now is lie and come up with juvenile rants against his rivals. He's free to do so on Fox News.

Californians are allowed to use the air conditioning up to 4 PM and the state is asking residents to raise the temperature to 78 after 4pm to conserve energy.

Ted Cruz is trying to attack Governor Newsom for trying to actually help his constituents instead of making a mad dash to the airport.

You don't see Gavin Newsom jumping on a plane for a vacation in a cool climate, do you?
