“This is eff’ing awesome—Ted Cruz gets showered with boos by his constituents at Astros championship parade,” another fan added.
“Ted Cruz rode in the Astros victory parade in his hometown and was met with a chorus of boo’s and middle fingers. Texans don’t forget,” one fan wrote.
“Who thought it was a good idea to have Dan Patrick and Ted Cruz in the Astros parade?” another fan added.
