In the texts, Heidi Cruz noted that rooms were just $309 per night at the resort and that the venue had good security. She detailed a potential trip from Wednesday through Sunday, with direct flights to and from Cancun.
Cruz’s offer reportedly drew little interest from neighbors. The senator’s wife offered the group help if they needed.
"We have gas stove so at least we can heat water little that there is happy to help anyone we can too," she wrote.
Representatives for Cruz did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the texts.
Images of the senator’s family boarding a flight to Mexico first surfaced on Wednesday evening. After more than 12 hours, Cruz’s office acknowledged that he had taken the trip.
By the time Cruz returned home to Houston on Thursday afternoon, protestors had gathered outside demanding his resignation. In a brief meeting with reporters, Cruz said the trip was "obviously a mistake."
"As I said, really from the moment I sat on the plane, I began really second-guessing that decision," Cruz said. He noted that he was "trying to be a dad" for his young daughters, who had the week off from school and were stuck at home without heat.
When asked if he cut his trip short due to the political backlash, Cruz did not directly respond.

And the dumbassery is complete.
Oh noes! HIEDI HAS FRIENDS?
Good for him. I don’t see what the problem is. Nothing he could do about it.
Power was shut off to his whole neighborhood. His kids had friends over when it was shut off. When it got to 30 in his house he got his kids out of there. What a BAD man!

In a week will anyone care?
Making Mountains out of Mole Hills....sheesh!
Fox is really going all in on this fake scandal.
This Texan supports Ted Cruz. I don’t see anything wrong with what he did.
[[[Fox is really going all in on this fake scandal.]]]
You can call them Googlefox now.
Much ado about nothing.
So what? Stop this crap. The leftists never tire of guilt and accusations, yet scream when it is applied to them. Nonsense!!
if Biden can put a lid on at 8 a.m. today, Cruz can escort family to Cancun. i’m more interested in why Biden’s FEMA has only sent 60 generators, frankly. that actually affects people’s lives.
Members of the Council on Foreign Relations DO find that a bargain.
Let's see what claims he makes about being able to help the people of Texas when he's running for reelection.
Not anymore, she doesn’t. They leaked her texts to the press.
Why knought go to mask free, American Floriduh?
Don’t seem like you care for conservatives very much, there is plenty to attack Biden on spend your time on him if you don’t mind
"Journalism" is just Democrap partisanism, now.

It is his responsibility!
