Reliable sources close to top Senate aides report that momentum is growing for a resolution to “pants” Sen. Ted Cruz on the Senate floor when that body reconvenes for business.
Cruz (R.- Tex.) is also a potential recipient of a censure vote, along with Sen. Hawley (R.-Mo.), for their enthusiastic support of former President Trump’s efforts to deny the 2020 election results, in which President Biden amassed a substantial electoral victory over Trump.
The motion to “pants” Cruz comes largely in response to his ill-considered recent flight to sunny Cancun, while millions of his constituents were suffering the deadly consequences of an historic winter storm that led to the poorly regulated Texas power grid crumbling like, well, like Ted Cruz in the face of a mean tweet from Donald Trump.
While Texans bravely endure brutal conditions in dark & unheated homes, forced to boil water before use (if they can find any) Cruz actually had the gall to blame his daughters for his own lack of compassion and responsibility as a public servant.
Cruz apparently also left the family dog to fend for itself in the darkened home.
While “pantsing” someone (the act of sneaking up behind a person & abruptly yanking down their gym shorts for the general amusement of everyone else in the room) as a form of public humiliation is more common in a middle-school gym class than on the Senate floor, many Senators privately agree that Cruz has more than earned the honor.
While there is still disagreement as to whom will actually do the pantsing, or if that person will be selected by lot, many assume that Sen. Lindsay Graham (R.-SC) is a strong candidate, as he once openly joked that if Cruz were to be murdered on the Senate floor that there would be no votes to convict his killer.
