Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) responded to allegations that he flew to Cancun, Mexico, in the midst of record cold temperatures and snowfall in Texas—which has been besieged by power outages over the past several days.
Cruz appeared to confirm that he went to Cancun, saying that “with school canceled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon.”
“My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas,” he said in a statement on Thursday, referring to the power outages and, in some cases, loss of water.
There’s stupid and then there’s “Republican Stupid”
Nice photo Op in Cancun airport
i stated in a previous thread:
the man probably had his hands full dealing with 3 miserable females in his home...
no man in their right mind would allow his wife and daughters to travel to messico without him...
animal shelters were probably closed due to the weather conditions...
he made arrangements to have someone keep an eye on the family pet and didn’t abandon it...
the man apparently put his family first...
what would anyone here have done differently if they were in this situation?...
He could have dropped out of politics.
That’s what wifee seems to want
Tell them that their family members died because they brought BBQ pits into their house and poisoned themselves to death? I think they already know that.
You should not bring your BBQ pit into your house to warm up. Just use a blanket. Put on a sweater. Don't be a dumbass.
He was a human being
Sure, and what do you expect Ted Cruz to do about a bum who refuses to go into a shelter and decides to get wet in the rain in 6 degree weather?
You are a nasty human being.
“What do expect Ted to do about a “bum”
May God never put you or anyone you know in that situation.
Regarding Ted. I don’t expect Ted to do anything to help
a homeless person.
But I do expect him to not abandon his State when a rare
snow storm hits his citizens and voters.
He has admitted numerous times the past 24 hours he made a mistake.
And he did make a mistake. Life will go on. And so will Teddy.
The power companies screwed up. They’re using everything in their power to divert attention from them and their windmills.
From his Texas supporters that I've talked to, who were the ones without electricity or water (sometimes both) the last few days...........I haven't found one of them that gives a rat's fanny about this political gutter sniping over what Cruz did...or didn't do.
Guess that's the difference between Texans who are used to taking care of themselves and their family/neighbors during an emergency VS those who think the Government/Politicians are supposed to show up and save 'em.

Well, this Texan.....who did lose power (but, thankfully has a generator) and my family/friends ARE mad as h### at cRuz.
Everyone we’ve talked to - and, we all voted for him, over Beto - is furious, too.
Especially when you add in the part of his FAIL story, where he left their dog IN THE HOUSE THAT HAD NO POWER, in care of a security guard.
What a lowlife tool.
He’s toast, Jim.
He’s my Senator and I am NOT happy with him, over this sham incident.
It reminds me of something Willard or John Fn Kerry would do.
Ice storm for thee, but....not for me.
I'm sure you think you are being cute......but BITE ME!
.....but, at least she was going to Covid test, before returning 🙄🙃
Amen Teacher Long.
BTW, my dogs got left in my house alone too overnight....and I didn't even have a security guard to check on them.
But hey........vote Beto next time. I'm sure he will be SOOOOO much better than Cruz.
Lying Ted got caught Lying again.
He said had always planned to escort his daughters to Cancun
and then fly back. Then the text messages appeared showing his
wife trying to get “friends” to come along. Their stay was booked thru
Saturday. He abandoned his dog along with his State.
All while Texans were suffering.
I think you're frankly just dishonest. I hate Cruz too, but it's clear that pointing out that these people are responsible for their own poor decisions (either smoking themselves to death with their BBQ pits or refusing to take shelter) is crushing your "people are dying! They have no heat! They have no food!" nonsense. You understand this so you won't acknowledge what I write, but instead pretend I am some inhuman monster to not agree with your hysteria.
It was horribly stupid optics.
Yes, as a private citizen he should do what he wants. No, he can’t do a damned thing about the cold.
But pols are (supposed to be) leaders, and a leader doesn’t run away to a comfortable place during a crisis.
Example: WW II, the King was urged to leave London during the Blitz. Wouldn’t do it. Stayed, he and the family went into the bomb shelters, helped dig people out.
How did this sit with the British people? After the war, the monarchy was the ONLY institution (army, Parliament, Church, etc) to see a rise in favorability.
Double standard with Ds? Of course. But that’s to be expected.
I was being sarcastic. Get a grip and quit whining. Stop asking for damn big government and then getting pissy when government fails. I was making fun of Texas, and clearly struck a chord, because I’m right.
By all means, get mad at Cruz and vote in that skateboarding communist moron if you are that mad about a little bit of ice, 30 degree weather, and the consequences of big government commie energy policies.
It’s all Biden’s fault. He is now the great messiah. He should have fixed this.
Ah, you’re not just a jerk to people.
Got it.
Agree!
