One of the hottest stories on the Twitter machine right now and in media/left-wing circles is about how Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was spotted at an airport Wednesday with his family as they waited for a flight to Cancun, Mexico.
Read the full statement from Cruz. Below that is a photo of him returning back to the U.S.:

I have seen even some of Cruz’s more ardent supporters on social media point out how though Cruz didn’t do anything wrong here the optics were still really bad. While that appears to be the prevailing assessment of many on the right, the Babylon Bee weighed in with their own hot take on the controversy – and, as usual, it was spot-on:
Media Informs Ted Cruz You Can Only Travel During A Crisis If You're A Democrathttps://t.co/lLOVVCiuGj
— The Babylon Bee (@TheBabylonBee) February 18, 2021
From the Bee’s “report”:
“You can only get away with traveling during a crisis if you specifically tell people to stay home and then don’t stay home yourself!” screamed a CNN journalist on the scene as Cruz landed. “Oh, and of course, you have to be a liberal!”
A Univision reporter shouted, “Ay, Caramba!” which is reportedly a Spanish phrase meaning, “Your hypocrisy is unforgivable because you are a Republican, you moron!”
Right? I mean we know the chances of Cruz being on the receiving end of so much heat from the Usual Suspects for taking the trip to Cancun would be slim to none if he was a Democrat. As usual, the (D) makes all the (D)ifference.
That said, while the optics of the trip were indeed bad, at least he hadn’t lectured his political opposition about wearing masks and then later appeared maskless at a shuttered hair salon, or tried to shame people for planning family gatherings around the holidays though he’d attended a gathering himself, or…

Gee, I didn’t realize that Ted Cruz was the Governor of Texas.
The Bee knocks it out of the park again! LOL!
The Bee is absolutely correct.
I think of the governors (D) who locked down their states and told everyone to shelter in place, while they and their families were off visiting states on the no go to list.
We tell residents in the path of a hurricane to stay, don’t we?
Yes, haven’t you heard? Ted Cruz is the newest governor, I mean king, of Texas! He makes all the edicts for the minions to follow, and of course, the edicts aren’t meant for the king to abide by.
/s <—— (not sure if this was necessary, but just in case, there it is)
Not this shiite again.
God bless the Bee!
Oops.... wrong thread or is it threads.
“Not this shiite again.”
But can you blame him for wanting to take his family someplace a little more Sunni?
LOL..... not at tall.
bkmk
There were mothers in apartments with no heat for days in temperatures cold by northeast standards.
We’ll be lucky not to find them dead in the next days
There is nothing funny about this. Cruz acted disgusting in relation to the needs of Texas.
I love the Bee. But they’re wrong on this. This was an ugly Scene. Still is
Agreed. This was not a good look for Cruz.
And you sound like a RINO
When asked about the problems in Texas, President Biden replied,
“Zzzzzzzz.....Zzzzzzzzz.....”

And you knew that and did nothing. You MURDERER!
“This was an ugly Scene. Still is”
And the blame rests squarely on ERCOT.
Weak-minded people are affected by optics. Outrage has become a virtue.
