Senator Ted Cruz called out his neighbors for leaking text messages inviting them to join a controversial family trip to Cancun, Mexico, while millions of Texans remained without electricity and water last week during severe winter weather.
The Texas Republican received swift backlash after photos of him boarding a flight last Wednesday to the tourist hot spot with his family circulated online. Responding to the criticism, Cruz quickly booked a return flight to Texas for the next day, saying he had been trying to be a "good dad." But the backlash persisted, with Democrats and some Republicans strongly criticizing the senator's judgment and actions.
During a Tuesday episode of the conservative Ruthless podcast, Cruz discussed the negative reaction to his trip and took aim at his neighbors. He suggested that Democratic neighbors may have been the ones who leaked the text messages to the media.

I hope that Senator Ted and Heidi will find out who leaked the text messages...Find out who the "rat" is and refuse to socialize with that person ever again...
Senator Ted said other things in the podcast...
Cruz said it was “really creepy” that a reporter captured a picture of his dog forlornly staring out a window, and “even more creepy” that his wife Heidi was photographed on the beach “in her bikini” by paparazzi.
“I will tell you, that she is pissed about. All the rest of it, she’s fine,” Cruz said, adding: “Heidi is smoking hot, so I looked at the pictures and said, ‘Man, you look great.’”

I agree with Senator...His wife looked fine in red bikinis...
Well Ted, they may have been ***holes, but they weren’t the ***hole who embarrassed himself in front of the world by going to Cancun when his constituents were suffering.
“I hope that Senator Ted and Heidi will find out who leaked the text messages...Find out who the “rat” is and refuse to socialize with that person ever again...”
Yes, that would be a very, very tough stand for Sen. Cruz to take.
That will really show them!
Ted, move on. Let it go. It will fade away if you let it.
Ted’s only mistake was in apologizing. When will we ever learn?
In Oregon our governor said it is a duty to turn in your neighbors for violations of her covid edicts.
Go back to the Bush Cartel you are part of. Plenty of satanic A-holes there.
Ted learned nothing.
He is no different than the rest of the weak kneed Republicans.
Bad optics, I agree, but how is he an ahole for this?
Well anyway, this should cripple him politically. I doubt he runs for re-election.
“Well anyway, this should cripple him politically. I doubt he runs for re-election.”
Cruz had planned on running for President.
For various factors, he will have to reconsider those plans.
Yes, there is no difference. None. Vote for beto.
Meh, debatable.
For various factors, he will have to reconsider those plans.

One being that Democrats may get ineligibles elected, Republicans never will.
I’m a woman and thinkshe looks great. Maybe you just prefer the photoshopped anorexic types over a real woman’s body.
I’m still amazed that they left their home. Christmas of 1983 was when folks came home to inches of water in their homes after a good LONG freeze. House next door to my parents had every pipe in the house freeze and burst cause a real estate agent didn’t want to drive 20 miles to turn up the heat a little.
I think we can safely assume that Ted Cruz’s political career is now over.
“......when his constituents were suffering.”
And were these constituents suffering as a direct result of Cruz’s actions? Asking for a friend.
Ted needs to just shut it and let it go. He loses respect with me for trying the blame shifting. That’s a Dem tactic.
No, she looks good. I wouldn’t say smoking though. Smoking is like Hope Hicks. Anyway, I jest..:).
