Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) admitted Thursday that he had planned on spending longer than he did in Cancún, in a spur-of-the-moment trip his wife tried to recruit friends and neighbors to join that was motivated by Texas’ frigid temperatures, according to texts obtained by the New York Times, following widespread outrage over a vacation Cruz initially claimed was driven by his daughters and their friends.
The senator’s wife, Heidi Cruz, tried to recruit friends for the trip on Wednesday and noted their house was “FREEZING,” the Times reported Thursday, citing texts obtained from a group chat.
She proposed staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún, according to the Times.

ted cruz did a great job drawing national attention to the situation in texas as well as proving he’s not concerned about the kung flu...
It's class warfare, that's why.
How about going back to DC? His other home where he “works” allegedly. I didn’t hear of any electricity problems there.
What exactly is Cruz’ offense here? He got his family out of a dangerously cold environment, just as anyone would.
“Karma biting back at Ted.
Remember his recent and past comments about Donald Trump.”
The Trump Curse is real.
You know what I discovered in my Bible reading lately?
Demonic activity is always accompanied by screaming.
And if he tested positive while in Cancun..what then...there are plenty of places in the US with power and heat
“Cuomo should go to prison. Ted just needs to lose his job. I wouldn’t really compare them, Cuomo is far worse.”
Mercy for KillerCuomo please. Trial, conviction and death penalty.
His house does have a fireplace. When no one wanted to go with heidi to cancun she offered up her fireplace
Are you a Cruzlum? ⛄️
The thing is when you do something like this. It’s fine. Remember Chris Christie? He did similar and since he’s not able to find success in any office. I really hoped Cruz doesn’t find himself in the same predicament.
Suddenly sheila jackson lee decided she better do something. Next election people will have to say how they helped Their state during this crises.
Wasn't there a time when Dems left Texas to avoid a vote?

Look at people here justifying this bonehead move. Its easy to see why Cruz was so obtuse.
Christie on the beach exemplifies out of touch politicians. Both sides have them. Both sides should hold them accountable..not just when it is expedient like now with them ready to get rid of cuomo.
“Any ‘conservative’ going along with this obvious bullsh*t distraction is a cuckold waste of space.”
Absolutely. We are all so conditioned to mindlessly respond to this engineered “bait”, we reflexively attack our own while our leftist overlords laugh. Right on queue we dutifully think back to when Cruz was running against Trump and mentally build a case against him, just as these communist zombie newspaper editors want us to. Cruz is a dedicated and articulate conservative and one of the few who can help us out of this mess, and here are all these Freepers dutifully putting him down. A shame..
And if he tested positive for Covid on Saturday trying to get back to the US?
What then?
A senator quarantined in a foreign country for how long.
Why is it no big deal to take that kind of risk?
He was reckless.
True. Cuomo must send Cruz a thank you note. lol. He was knocked off the front page just as it was getting serious traction. Governor Newsom also must be thrilled.
not just that... he’s proven that he’s not concerned about the kung flu...
renewable energy’s failures now have national attention...
it’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out...
Story out now that they were just minutes away from months long power failure
