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.

Once again, what vote did he miss as a US Senator? The governor doesn’t go through a senator to as for a disaster declaration. There is no FEMA issue.

If there was need for a US senator from Texas, John Cornyn is capable.

The governor did his job and there was no job for Cruz to do. Much less take a financial loss for nothing more than optics.

"Once again, what vote did he miss as a US Senator?

If Cruz was up for election was this year, I can guarantee he would be missing a lot of votes that would be going to his opponent because of this. Politically, 2024 is a long way off, but I'm sure some people will remember this, just as Cruz struggled to cultivate barely enough votes to beat O'Rourke in 2018 because of his 2016 convention antics.

Yeah, repeat the media mantra. “So many deaths.... worst disaster ever....”

Tell that to the people in Galveston in 1900.

Think again, ooops.....never mind brainless fool. Never lost power. Water just fine. Plenty of provisions. But, I’m not too ignorant to realize that there are people suffering. Through no fault of their own. When people don’t do their jobs, people die. And, no, your pet Cruz can’t do a damn thing about it. But there are those who can. And I refuse to give them a pass.

You keep projecting your socialism and you are so blind that you don’t even see it.

(It’s not the government’s job to take care of you. It’s not anyone’s job to take care of you. You prepare for you and take responsibility for you.)

Keep on digging that hole.

Socialism? Are you insane? They knew about this a week in advance and hardly mentioned it. As others have said stores weren’t crowded even on Saturday. This blindsided just about everyone except the PTB.

I hope you don’t suffocate being that high up on your high horse.

Yeah, socialism. You are responsible for you. If you are prepared and not dependent on the government, it won’t matter “who told you ____” before it happens.

“They” and “we” are the holy words of socialism.

“The word “We” is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. It is the word by which the depraved steal the virtue of the good, by which the weak steal the might of the strong, by which the fools steal the wisdom of the sages.”

You win. I won’t give you any more reasons to post your drunken screeds.
He name was Tildy. She died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Her family was trying to stay warm. Must delight you that your point is proven. People too stupid to deal with disasters deserve to die. I imagine you will toast your victory.
