Cruz Criticized For Mexico Trip As Texans Freeze In The Dark | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
🏃.. When trouble comes around Flyin’ Cruz is a first to hit the ground running and running fast. Cancun Cruz hightailed it down to Mexico.
Cruise don’t care about you unless your last name is Trump
REALLY, this is the excuse you gave to the press. 😖 he tries to be trumpy soooo bad. 😆😆😆
Nobody:
Ted cruz: Heidi?.? Never heard of her.
OF COURSE Ted Cruz did this.
He’s a Republican.
Dems have done similar things. It’s more likely to be Republicans but it’s more related to the fact that they’re rich and they can get away. Instead of offering to HELP…because that would be just horrible. You send your family to some place warm while YOU stay and help. That’s what he should’ve done.
GFYS MORON!
@Sam Iam Same to you, MAGA nut.
Ted Cruz : “The girls made me do it blame the girls”
@Sophie Blessed – Nonsense. Send the girls, and the mother was there to chaperone. He stays. That’s if he gave a flying fk, which he doesn’t.
@Sophie Blessed across the border… ironic.
@Lovely Days I was joking
@D J Yes, you got my joke!
Cruz only admitted that he had planned to spend several days once the press reported that fact. He had initially said that he was just going to drop his daughters off in Mexico.
The lies gushing out of his mouth in the interview in front of his house. It’s actually really sad
Ffis that

oh good
He has a good role model. trump.
So Cruz cant even run his own house. Maybe the girls should be in government.
Ffis that

oh good
Right wing media says “he can’t even take a vacation?” Yeah sure, if you are ordinary citizen who don’t have the responsibility and not paid by the citizens.
He lied on them , his wife group texted an invitation to friends to join them. An anonymous recipient of that text outed her.
Privilege can just escape reality. Children are taught the same.
Ffis that

oh good
Omg this dude blamed his kids. What a man
I hope they survive
In this miserable
Weather.
Can Texans recall their Senator? Clearly this was a dereliction of duty.
Bro she has 20,000 National Guard that she can send down there to Texas why doesn’t she
He returned but didn’t even issue an apology to his constituents instead throws his kids under a bus.
Horrible human being even worse an horrible father.

Facts!!
Cruz let’s Trump attack his wife and his father, and now he’s blaming his daughters for his scumbaggery. Way to go, Senator, you’re one heckuva guy!
@Bill Burgess people can be upset about two things at once. whataboutism is pointless, go talk about that in a space where it’s being spoken about. there are plenty.
@Bill Burgess are you in the Texas freezer without power, food and water.
@Bill Burgess trivial? Millions in Texas are freezing, starving and probably dying and you think this is trivial?
@Bill Burgess also terrible, much like the report that 40% of covid deaths were preventable and can be blamed on mismanagement by the trump administration. But we never hold politicians accountable anyway 🤷♂️
Don’t let that macho mullet fool you. There’s a man in there somewhere.
He can’t even own his bad decision to leave during a crisis, my bet is he did’t feel bad about until he saw social media complaining and it became a news story.
“LYIN’ TED” is his name. A spineless 💩bag is his game. 😬
cruz daughter : we didnt want our fat dad to go with us….he insisted !!!!!
How about making this a teachable moment by telling your girls, “Girls, Daddy is a public servant, the people pay my salary, I have to stay here and make sure the people are taken care of!”
best comment here.
NEVER FORGET! This man has Presidential ambitions. If he treats his state like this, he’s not going to treat the country any better.
Lying Self-serving Ted Cruz. Texans are being taken for fools. Only one laughing is Ted Cruz…all the way to Cancun.
“Don’t mess with Texas”… unless you’re Mother Nature
