Ted Cruz attacks 'gay men's choir' to blame 'woke policies of the left' for wildfires
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) lashed out at a "gay men's choir" and what he called "woke policies of the left" after wildfires ravaged parts of California.
During a Tuesday appearance on Newsmax, the Texas Republican claimed that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were not standing with suffering Americans.
"And I got to tell you, you look at these California wildfires," he opined. "One of the most frustrating aspects is a huge cause of these fires and their being as bad as they are, has been left-wing policies that have exacerbated."
Cruz pointed to forest management and fishery policies as two potential causes.
"And then number three, the woke policies of the left that prioritize every other political agenda except doing their jobs," he said. "They funded, the city of Los Angeles funded a gay men's choir and a transgender cafe, but they didn't have the money to fund firefighters to actually stop these fires."

"This was, much of this was preventable and it's infuriating the policies that have made it worse."
There is no evidence linking gay men's choirs or so-called transgender cafes to the recent fires in California.
