'If we could go back and do it again, we would evacuate,' says Cruz
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told reporters Monday that "in hindsight" he would have evacuated the flood zones as the death toll rose to 89 on Monday.
"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 said that during the "period of retrospection" following the floods, officials would look at "what exactly transpired, what was the timeline, and what could have been done differently to prevent this loss of life?'"
