Sen. Ted Cruz, back in Texas, says it was "obviously a mistake" to go to Cancun.

You can hear protestors chanting "Resign!" in the background. pic.twitter.com/FwA6Dsg4fv— The Recount (@therecount) February 19, 2021

Ya think??????????

At least he admits it..unlike many here.

[SamAdams76]

Never apologize! Never!

Now he'll probably have to resign.

Will Republicans every learn?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Always agree with the Communists when they attack one of ours.

It will serve you well.

[HotKat]

Not a huge Cruz fan. Good that he admitted his mistake early in the process. Not sure what a US Senator can do except feel the pain of his constituents.

[Trump.Deplorable]

Looks like the left found their distraction from frozen windmills and snow covered solar panels

Always blame the republican, even if all he did was vacation to Cancun.

[hanamizu]

How would his presence in Texas made anything better? He’s a Senator, not the Governor or any other state official. Should he have been out there supervising the restoration of electricity, the thawing of windmills? This is stupid. Yes it looks bad, but the whole thing is stupid.

[Brookhaven]

He has a residence in Washington DC, that’s where he should have taken his kids.

Cancun, Mexico?

So many CruzBots were defending Cruz on another thread.
Funny. Cruz is not defending himself, but admitting his mistake.
Shame the CruzBots were blind to the mistake too on the earlier thread.
It was a mistake. And many of us said so.
And so has Cruz.

And this, Rafael Edward Cruz, is why you will never be either President or a Justice on the Supreme Court. You make entirely too many mistakes.

[Cottonpatch]

He is my senator and I think it is fine if he flew his girls somewhere. That is not a standard I would hold him to. Now if he had electricity and water the whole time at his home because of who he is ,then that might be a problem.
I will vote for him again if he keeps true to our core values.

[DJ MacWoW]

This isn’t about Cancun, it’s about objecting to the election. Cancun is convenient.

[usconservative]

Hey Ted, how about growing a pair of testicles and telling the dummycrat protesters to go EFF themselves, eh?

That's what a real man would do.

[BobL]

You’d think that ONE PERSON in his inner circle (family, friends, assistants, etc.) would have told him just HOW STUPID this trip was if he got caught.

My guess is that, given Cruz’s personality, many wanted to warn him, but were afraid to.

[djstex]

He should of just said so what and leave at that.
Ted Cruz as many republicans always look so stupid by doing it and then backing it down.
Play a Pelosi and tell them to suck it.
Cruz knew better but then again he played right into the media's hands and made it so easy for them.
I like Cruz but dang what a dumb move being the leftists will kill him on this and of course the Rino dirtbags! tsk tsk.
BTW being from Texas and without water and have been in the dark could careless what politicians do any given day. The optics on Cruz look bad,but who cares is what I say. He just looks hypocritical after blasting others as he did himself. Way to go Cruz.............jeeze these pubbies need to get it together.

A musical bump for this thread   >>===>  "South Of The Border" - Frank Sinatra.

[MarDav]

Bad optics, but what exactly does a senator have to do with state governance?

[dead]

Can you imagine finding the time to protest, in person, a guy who took his daughters on a vacation. Whatever floats your boat.

[blueunicorn6]

And President Joe Biden, who controls the Executive Branch, stayed home to take a daylong nap.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Good for you Ted!
