This is the opening paragraph of a story published today by the Texas Tribune …<\/p>\n

Monica De La Cruz, a firebrand Republican running in a fiercely competitive South Texas race, received thousands of dollars for personal business interests from federal COVID relief programs despite disparaging federal assistance programs as harmful to the U.S. economy.<\/em><\/p>\n

Man, you just have to love the kind of reporting that exposes politicians’ hypocrisy in this Age of Hypocrites.<\/p>\n

Here’s the rest of the story. Take a peek. It’s worth your time.<\/p>\n

Monica De La Cruz cashes in on COVID aid, trashes programs | The Texas Tribune<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tribune points out that De La Cruz is the latest Republican — yeah, this is mostly a GOP affliction — to criticize Democrats’ policies while scarfing up the goodies for their own gain.<\/p>\n

So it is with this GOP candidate for Congress.<\/p>\n

Do you recall in 2020 when Republicans railed against President Biden’s efforts to pump money into repairing and upgrading our infrastructure? Then, once Congress approved it Biden signed it into law, they stood up and boasted about all the money that was coming to their states and congressional districts.<\/p>\n

The Tribune reported further about De La Cruz’s duplicity: \u201cMonica De La Cruz raged against relief funding for Texas small businesses, but what she didn\u2019t mention was that she and her family happily took nearly $200,000 of that same aid for themselves. Her hypocritical agenda of \u2018Help for me, but not for thee\u2019 is politics at its worst and South Texans deserve better,\u201d said Monica Robinson, a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.<\/em><\/p>\n

Where I come from, such blatant hypocrisy is a deal-breaker.<\/p>\n
