(This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 02/19/2021.

'Sniveling Coward': Cancún Cruz Won't Live Down His 'Walk Of Shame' | The Beat With Ari Melber
Cruz: “As I was headed down to Cancun, I started to have 2nd thoughts about going there because of the terrible crisis the people of Texas are going through right now. But then the Captain said “prepare for departure” and then I said “phuck TX, and phuck the people.”
A spineless creature of the swamp, Cruz want to weasel away from his selfishness. He should have been a catfish to be slimy and slippery.
@Timmy Truth, 😂
@Timmy Truth, I see it William H and one of it’s many troll accounts.
@willis johns who died because of Cruz hand john?
@Lewis dip 💩
He should be used to the walk of shame. He was part of the bigly lie.
He can’t feel shame or irony
Can Snowflake hold Ted’s leash on the walk?
@chuck lacey truth
still, I like the ring of Walk of Shame
Oh man I thought Fled Cruz would catch on. Guess I was wrong lol!
He left the dog “home alone”
And the family all alone in Cancun. At this point we all feel sorry for the dog
He needs to be punished for animal abuse

I’m surprised he didn’t try blaming AOC again, oh wait she actually raised money to help the people of Texas while Cruz was running away to Cancun.
@salvador coling AOC is a Socialist pig… Fact
@Vi B well at least she doesn’t accept money from corporate donors; unlike Ted Cruz who took home over $800,000 from the oil industry.
Aoc is as stupid as a bag of rocks. I bet not one Texan will see that money.
@AR Crossing just putting it out there you will not find the source on fox news
@Mo Fox news is still lying about Texas’s deregulated power grid that failed.
Soon the GOP will blame Nancy for operation Cancun.
WHAT’S left of it ..that is.

He probably thought of blaming Nancy but couldn’t come up with a big enough lie which is unlike him.
Ted has canceled himself, folks. Fun to watch his career implode so unexpectedly. It is delicious, actually.
Cancún Cruz is lucky he ain’t due for reelection till ’24.
JUST means more DAMAGE to what “reputation” he has left.
You can always recall a Senator.
Silver spooned wht priv with no morals for other . Evil
The Cruz’s little Dog is still all alone at home looking through the glass shivering.

These politicians believe they were elected to be royalty, not public servants!
When the going gets tough (in Texas) the soft get going (to Cancun).
More poking fun on the republican side. They’re just out of touch.
Sniveling coward? I think the title of “sneaky little 💩” is more appropriate for Ted Cruz.
Cruz was on time and ready to pardon his 45th but absent during the worst climate disaster in his own State.
Resign you SOB
Excellent point,he read green eggs and ham during congress to waste our money and time
After he returns, he says he’s needed here! Any goof would’ve known before leaving! And he left a poodle at home !
The guy has absolutely zero credibility. Reminder 2016, quote, “I will believe in Climate Change when Texas freezes over.” Ted Cruise
Nice
So his “friends ” don’t even like him 🤔🤣
Funny how everybody “repents” AFTER they have been caught. I wonder what had happened if tje picture didn’t get viral
He would be in Cancun with a margarita in his hand. Only reason he came back was because of the backlash not the little voice in his head (he took their tongue out years ago)
Ted cruz should be charged for animal cruelty to his Dog who was left freezing home alone.
