Sen. Cruz to tour Tyler software company

TYLER — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz will be in Tyler Tuesday afternoon to tour the Genesis World Group Headquarters. According to our news partner KETK, a press release from his office states that the tour will begin around 12:30 p.m. and he will take questions from the press an hour later. According to their website, Genesis “develops, tests, and supports industry-leading software for mission critical and business critical two-way communications networks.” After the tour, Cruz is scheduled to go down to Diboll where he will take place in a closed roundtable discussion with East Texas leaders near Whispering Pines Park. The discussion will be led by Lufkin Mayor Mark Hicks. Cruz will make himself available to the press at 5 p.m. The junior senator has been one of President Biden’s most vocal critics over his withdrawal from Afghanistan. Cruz wrote on Twitter Monday afternoon that Biden is “already limiting accountability and dodging responsibility for his botched, politically-timed, catastrophic withdrawal.”
