Why do they penalize Neera Tanden for tweeting that Cruz is "worse than a vampire"?
Nothing's been done to Neera Tanden in response to that comment of hers.

In 2016 his fellow Republican senator, Lindsey Graham (S.C.), joked that "f you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you" during an address to the Washington Press Club.

....and the voters of his own state had every opportunity to penalize him if that was their choice. Only several months ago, they voted on whether to return him to the Senate or to send him back home.

He is probably right.

Why penalize Cruz when he perfectly represents of a lot of Texans?

Nobody likes Ted Cruz.

Honestly I'm pretty sick of elected officials trying to be snarky on social media or treat it like their personal burn book, either party. Do they have codes of conduct? I mean I know of no other jobs where you can just belittle co-workers or members of your company and you don't have some pushback or people just accept it. I think I read a few years ago some teacher posted a picture of themselves having a glass of wine on their personal facebook and they were fired over it for moral turpitude. I guess it's a testament of what we have accepted from leaders. It didn't help that trump embiggened the smallest man and people thought it was nobel. I think the Republicans just gave a standing ovation to Margjorie Taylor Thomas Greene for her past behavior on social media calling for deaths of people and Jewish space lasers and saying that she was allowed to believe things. So, this is a little hypocritical.

Tanden is pretty gross and I don't know why Biden chose to nominate her and to go to bat for her confirmation.

BUT Republicans whining about mean tweets is....rich, and especially coming from Ted "Cancun" Cruz.

Speaking as a Texan, he doesn't perfectly represent me. I don't like him in the slightest. I know a lot of Texans were royally upset when he skipped town to go to Cancun, but I wish he had stayed there, permanently. FWIW, I think he deserves to be penalized for running out on his constituents like he did.

Cruz at CPAC, yesterday:

"Where the Republicans' compelling message was, 'Republicans: We waste less,'" he added. "And they look at Donald J. Trump, and they look at the millions and millions of people inspired who went to battle fighting alongside President Trump, and they're terrified and they want him to go away."

"Let me tell you this right now: Donald J. Trump ain't going anywhere," Cruz added.
