  1. 🏃.. When trouble comes around Flyin’ Cruz is a first to hit the ground running and running fast. Cancun Cruz hightailed it down to Mexico.

    1. 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.

    1. @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.

    2. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. He lied on them , his wife group texted an invitation to friends to join them. An anonymous recipient of that text outed her.

  2. 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.

    1. “Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.”
      ― The Donald @ Twitter, November 2013

  3. 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!

    1. @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.

    2. @Bill Burgess trivial? Millions in Texas are freezing, starving and probably dying and you think this is trivial?

    3. @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 🤷‍♂️

  4. 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.

  5. 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!”

  6. NEVER FORGET! This man has Presidential ambitions. If he treats his state like this, he’s not going to treat the country any better.

  7. Lying Self-serving Ted Cruz. Texans are being taken for fools. Only one laughing is Ted Cruz…all the way to Cancun.
