The family of former US Marine Trevor Reed blasted Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz this week, calling the lawmaker an “embarrassment to the state” over his purported lack of action to secure Reed’s release from a Russian prison. “He didn’t do anything,” Reed’s father Joey told The Dallas Morning News. “He’s an embarrassment to the state of Texas, let me just say that. I don’t care what or who runs against him, I will work for their campaign to defeat that son of a bitch.” Trevor Reed was released April 27 as part of a prisoner swap after serving nearly 1,000 days behind bars. He had been charged with assaulting two Moscow cops who were driving him to a police station after apprehending him at a party where he allegedly became blackout drunk. Reed’s family and supporters claimed the charges were trumped-up to allow the Kremlin to hold their son as a bargaining chip.
