Cruz has taken guidance from Christie, new in office, who flew to Florida(?) on a Sunday morning as a major snow storm was in fact hitting NJ.

If I had posted an article like that about a democrat that was full of nothing but speculation I’d be attacked viciously. Come back when you have actual facts instead of mere rumors. Well it's all over the national news so not a rumor.

"I was getting my family settled on their vacation and always planned on coming back." Nice that he can afford to get his family to safety.... And one would have to wonder why he had such a big suitcase that he was pictured wheeling around if he was just going to settle his family? Yes, as a grown ass woman working at Goldman Sachs, i definitely can’t fly with two tweens on my own. —person who has traveled alone internationally with her own similar-aged kids

I thought the Republicans all thought Mexico was full of criminals and rapists. Interesting that he wanted to go there for his vacation. What a tone deaf douchebag.

Ted’s excuse is so outrageous because it is so unbelievable. He should have had his PR person come up with a better one.

The people who voted for him don't care. From what I saw on Twitter it was things like:
*I'm sure this was already a planned vacation....what can he do anyway *It's the Governor's job to help
And my favorite....
*His family deserves a vacation
Just great!

Hate to say it but THAT beach picture of Christie is from a different screw up. NJ beaches and parks were closed, I think over fourth of July weekend. He had more then a few!!😳 ETA: Whoever did a great Photoshop job on those pictures!

What a despicable human being. Too bad the majority of voters in TX don't seem to think so.
I'm rather looking forward to the reports of the reception Cruz will likely receive when he steps off the plane later this afternoon.

TX Rep Colin Allred is on CNN saying that the Jr Senator flew to Mexico... Cruz source confirms he is flying home!! Therefore that confirms he went,!!

Not only did he go to Mexico he wanted police officers pulled from other jobs to give him assistance to make it through the Houston airport. Now I’m guessing here, but I suspect these officers probably had more important things to do then help old Ted make it through the airport.

Covid and the weather/power crisis in TX are showing what a GOP "every man for himself" world looks like.
And people just keep voting for it, in enough quantities to keep the state houses red and the US Congress divided.
When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

@ohnoshetwitnt
When you take a vacation while your constituents are without power or water and freezing to death that’s called a Ted Cruise.

"It should be noted that while Cruz’s state is in crisis, the US Senate is in recess this week. One Dallas resident wrote to the Dallas Morning News and defended Cruz on that basis, noting that the “Senate is out, he can afford it. ... What exactly is the problem?” (Other right-wing pundits defended Cruz along similar lines.) But there are still things Cruz could do to try to help even if the Senate isn’t in session. For instance, the Democrat he defeated to retain his Senate seat in 2018, Beto O’Rourke, said he made more than 151,000 calls to senior citizens in Texas on Wednesday alone, and solicited help to do more of the same on Thursday. We made over 151,000 calls to senior citizens in Texas tonight. One of our vols talked to a man stranded at home w/out power in Killeen, hadn’t eaten in 2 days, got him a ride to a warming center and a hot meal. Help us reach more people, join us tomorrow: t.co/WOLn2HCrm1 — Beto O'Rourke (@betoorourke) February 18, 2021 Cruz’s flight to Cancun came one day after he posted a tweet acknowledging criticism he was receiving for his tweets from 2019 mocking California when heat waves there caused power outages.

I would hope that he's met on his return trip not only by reporters, but also a few constituents who let him know how they feel. I feel bad for TX. They need to boot Cruz out. I don't have high hopes since he acts as though he's untouchable. He did get away with enabling an insurrection (thus far).

Hey lindas - first hint - Newsweek isn't just "rumor". Next hint - the DOZENS of stories and pictures corroborating the first story. Next hint - the lack of comment from Cruz. Just in case you want to try to learn the difference between "just rumor" and "reporting". ps -

@elienyc
What percentage of white Texans, currently freezing and without water, do we think are going to vote for Republicans next election, to keep "Mexicans" and "Socialists" from "taking over"?
