WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz flew home from Mexico Thursday, amid outrage over his trip during a crisis-level storm in Texas — explaining he was only chaperoning his daughters and their friends on the flight.

The Republican lawmaker was seen getting back on a plane to the US on Thursday afternoon and issued a statement explaining that was not on a vacation himself, but was accompanying his daughters on a flight to theirs.

I am so sorry for you. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I know someone who recently bought a house in Plano. Are they in bad shape there, too?

Please provide updates in coming days, as to what is going on there. I don’t think the MSM is doing a good job sharing the totality of the crisis. Thank you.

Plano might be the hardest hit out of it all. Maybe it’ll get some of the recent mess that’s come in to leave.

uh, he doesn’t run the state. What’s the problem?

That doesn't matter, it's optics and an evil media.

And his own stupidity. There’s no hand-waiving this. I give the defenders credit, they care about TX as much as Cruz it seems. ‘Big deal, no problem, what can he do’..

So you’re another person who thinks prior plans were a great
excuse to abandon people dying in his state?

Whether he could help or not, he could at least make a token
effort to build morale and encourage people to hang in
there.

Don’t you think other people might have had plans too? You know,
like surviving, keeping the family and livestock alive?

If you thought this was going to fly, you were sadly mistaken.

Even Ted knew that.

I know I wouldn’t force the police to escort me to the airport. Mistake 1. Talk about getting noticed. I wouldn’t blame my daughters. Mistake 2. I wouldn’t say I was dropping them off when I have a return ticket on Saturday. Mistake 3. I wouldn’t have a piece of luggage that clearly is not a drop off bag. Mistake 4. I could go on....

Boy they say you gain weight after 50. Ted really took that to heart.

Go cry to daddy government to come save you, because you were too stupid to make provisions for yourself.

I’m sitting nice and pretty, in a warm house, with power that never failed, because I’m not grid dependent.

My water doesn’t need boiled, thank you.

I guess you should have prepared better.

I would never have a cathedral ceiling house to heat. I have a cottage with close-off-able rooms. Small space.
