ICYMI: Sen. Cruz: ‘In The Face of Disaster, We’ve Seen Incredible Bravery’
Joins ABC’s This Week to discuss the ongoing recovery efforts for those affected by Hurricane Harvey
HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today joined ABC’s This Week to discuss the ongoing recovery efforts for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
“Houston is my home,” Sen. Cruz said. “The damage is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. In Houston, you know, you’re used to hurricanes, that’s part of living in the Gulf Coast is you get hit by hurricanes and you come through it. This disaster, Harvey was unlike anything we’ve ever seen. It hit down in South Texas. Yesterday I was down in Victoria, in Rockport, Aransas Pass, and Port Aransas – the devastation there is massive. Homes just obliterated. It parked over Houston, for four to five days dumping 50 inches of rain, 20 trillion gallons of rain, then it went Beaumont and Port Arthur. I’m going later today to visit the devastation there.”
Sen. Cruz continued, “People are hurting. But I’d be remiss Martha if I didn’t tell you in the face of that disaster, we’ve seen incredible bravery.”
