After Ted Cruz had whined about how much he has had to sacrifice to run for president, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) exploded and tore Cruz to shreds.
In a string of tweets, Sen. Warren said:
Yesterday @TedCruz sent a campaign email whining about the “significant sacrifice” he’s made to run for President. pic.twitter.com/yKtLpWG0Ou

.@TedCruz whined about facing constant attacks, nonexistent family time, limited health and sleep, and no personal time.

Are you kidding me, @TedCruz? We’re supposed to pity you because trying to be the leader of the free world is hard?! 2 words: Boo hoo.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016
Know whose health is limited? Workers w/ no paid leave who can't stay home when sick or caring for kids. @TedCruz won't support it.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016
Know whose sleep is limited? Working parents who stay up worrying about getting kids thru college w/o big debt. @TedCruz blocked #refi.

Know who gets no personal time? People who work 2 min wage jobs to support their families. @TedCruz opposes giving them a raise.

Know who gets no family time, @TedCruz? Moms w/ unfair schedules who drop kids at daycare & find their hrs cancelled. @GOP won't help.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016
Know who’s facing "constant attacks," @TedCruz? Hardworking American immigrants, Muslims, LGBT folks, women. Your constant attacks.

And @TedCruz? Working people work more, get paid less, can't save, get mistreated, struggle with illness & family – but they don't whine.
— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) April 19, 2016
They don't throw tantrums or try to shut down their workplace because they don't get their way – & then turn around & demand promotions.

Sen. Cruz whined about a lack of personal time, but his attendance was sp poor in the Senate that he ranked 97th out of 100 senators in showing up for roll call votes on the Senate floor. Cruz has the fifth worst voting record over the course of his entire Senate career. Sen. Warren was correct. Ted Cruz has no idea what it like for hard-working Americans who have to work multiple jobs just to keep food on the table.
Elizabeth Warren dropped an anvil on Ted Cruz’s entitled head. Unlike Cruz, the rest of America doesn’t still get paid if they don’t show up for work. Cruz gets take money out of the pockets of the taxpayers, and he gets to keep his job.
If Cruz thinks running for president is hard, he ought to try working for a living.
