Pull a Cruz

To abandon struggling individuals during a time of great crisis rather than take personal responsibility.

1. I can't believe Ted chose to pull a Cruz and fly to Cancun during the great Texas winter storm of 2021.
2. It was shocking that Newt would pull a Cruz and leave his cancer-stricken wife for his mistress.

3. Donald choose to pull a Cruz by refusing to create a coordinated vaccination plan.
