U.S. Representative Michael Capuano did not waste time Monday in piling on Texas Republicans like Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn over the duo's request for relief aid in the midst of the ongoing natural disaster currently affecting Houston and the southeast region of the state.
Capuano, a Democrat from Somerville, described the decision by Cruz, Cornyn, and seven other members of Texas's GOP Congressional delegation to hold up a 2013 relief package targeted for states like New Jersey, victimized by Superstorm Sandy, "pure idiocy," according to the State House News Service.
