The group chat was labelled “XXXX Lovelies” (presumably the name of their street); it included some of the women in the Cruz family’s neighbourhood. The subject was the cold weather they were experiencing in Texas, but it quickly turned to going away, when Heidi, the wife of Republican Senator Ted Cruz, asked whether any of the families were up for a trip to Cancun.
The Cruz family getaway, of course, went viral, and the Texas senator, 50, faced fierce backlash after pictures emerged of the couple and their two daughters, Caroline, 12, and Cathryn, 10, flying out of the state while millions struggled without power, heat and water during a deadly storm, the Daily Mail reports.
And now, it seems, one of the group members spilled the tea to the New York Times, providing them with evidence of the group chats, as seen here:
Heidi texted “Anyone can or want to leave for the week? We may go to Cancun …,” adding that there were flights available and that the Ritz-Carlton hotel had availability at $309 a night.

Why did he apologize numerous times if there was nothing he could do?
His wife and kids told him to FO and they left for Florida.
Pritzker him-hawed around about it but nothing was done.
If Cruz wants to go to Cancun go. But he needs to grow a set and ignore the Karens/Kevins all over America.
The Cruz family did nothing wrong including Ted telling everyone to stay home, then after 2 days at home, and he then only came back after he was caught, he then blamed his daughters and lied that he was always returning next day, except he went on Hannity and revealed he was going to be there for a week and was a mistake but t was just for the girls, but Heidi’s Democrat friends leaked the text messages and we learned he invited his college roommate, and then he went on a few podcasts to complain that the first lady of the Senate got pictured because she continued on to the beach while everyone else back home was shivering and knew her husband was facing outrage back home. Then when Heidi comes back she takes pictures of Ted handing out water bottles to compensate. In conclusion the guy who is running for President and a possible future first lady took Cuomo and Biden off the headlines did everything right and they should do the exact same thing again according to some people here.
“Even a princess would be expected to hang around and help out.”
Or just ‘hang around’ and read a novel. It was VERY EASY to not screw this up...but Ted managed to, just as he did at the 2016 convention. Hopefully he’s updating his resume.
That was during election season in a strangely tight race. We needed him to win above all else. If it’s still a blanket policy two years later, I’d appreciate the clarification.
Until then I’ll say whatever I want about my senator, Fled Cruz, and if I get banned, I get banned.
It’s okay to hate democrats.
“So you don’t mind having a Dem Senator then ? You do realize you are helping them, right ? “
Naa, PLENTY of good Republicans in Texas who could take the place of Cruz, and NOT abandon the Texas in times of dire need.
In any case, Cruz is finished politically. If he’s not taken out in his next Primary (God, I hope so), then he’ll be taken out by the Democrat in November. This is now a PURPLE state, there isn’t room for screwing up at this level if you’re a Republican.
“Yep. I learned that lesson by age 6. Friends = boys, dogs, cats and horses.”
I might take except with ‘cats’, at least based on the ones that I know.
Pretty much every NYT article online has contact info for the reporter--their email, Twitter, or whatever. It's not real hard to find who is on the Cruz story and send them info.
She is more tone deaf than Teddy apparently.
“Ted Cruz is no friend of FReepers....When he hid the campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs, he lost my support.”
That definitely worried me, but had Trump not run, he was my candidate. But after his stunt at the 2016 convention, it was very difficult for me to vote for him in 2018, but I did...simply because I understand Democrats. The problem he will have now is that at least 25% of his voters have NO CLUE as to who the Democrats are and they intend to do, once getting power...and that’s easily enough to lose in November, at least in Texas.
The media is going to have a hard time keeping this story fresh for another 4 years.
My advice to the Cruzs after their monumental bleep up: You earned this. Suck it up and shut up. And pray you still have a political future.
Me, I wouldn’t vote for Ted for dog catcher after this.
Women....God love em
I’d be pissed too
And btw she gets picked on for being not so purty
I thought she looked fine in her bikini
No worries. You’ll find folks who live through something like this tend to have long memories.
I’ve watched this all my life
Women are cruel to each other
All, this girl power and women working together is bullshit
And ask any woman which sex they’d prefer their boss to be....usually
I’m certain the Democrats will find someone worse. That’s what forces me to hold my nose and keep pulling the lever for Cruz. Of course, now, we live in a post-election America.
I have a sneaking suspicion that she’s no more liked among her peers as her husband is with his.
You’ll deserve something worse if you keep letting Deep State pick your candidates for you.
Stop settling for ****.
We have tens of millions of people in this country who love our republic.
Dragoon one if you have to.
