Sen. Ted Cruz told reporters he agrees that a conversation should be had about earlier flood detection.
“Everyone would agree, in hindsight, if we could go back and do it again, we would evacuate,” he said. “Particularly those in the most vulnerable areas – the young children in the cabins closest to the water, we would remove them and get them to higher ground, if we could go back and do it again.”
Cruz also warned against "partisan games" and blaming political opponents for the deadly tragedy.
“I think this is not a time for partisan finger-pointing and attacks,” he added. “Now, after we come through search and rescue, after we come through the process of rebuilding, there will naturally be a period of retrospection where you look back and say, ‘OK, what exactly transpired, what was the timeline, and what could have been done differently to prevent this loss of life?’”
