Donald Trump Jr.’s Defense Of Ted Cruz’s Cancun Trip Contained 1 Embarrassing Error
On Twitter, former President Donald Trump’s eldest son slammed “the hypocrisy of those trying to cancel Ted Cruz” whose silence “on their Democrat Governor’s incompetence is telling.”
The hypocrisy of those trying to cancel Ted Cruz who have been totally silent on their Democrat Governor’s incompetence is telling. My thoughts on the Cancún Cruz fauxoutrage! #Cruz #CancunGate is fake. https://t.co/WnYe1onpIK

In a video, Trump Jr. admitted the optics of Cruz’s trip were not ideal but claimed “in the grand scheme of things, he’s a senator, he doesn’t manage crisis in states, that’s a governor’s job.”
“Now, if I were a Trump, which I am, I’d come up with a nickname for something like this, like ‘Cancun Cruz,’” Trump Jr. added. “It’s funny, but honestly I can’t get on this bandwagon trying to cancel the guy.”
