Ted Cruz took his family to Cancun



So? There were 378 arrivals and departures at the Cancun airport yesterday. That is flights, not total people.

Lots of people go to Cancun when it is cold outside.

Looking at the calendar for the Senate I don't think they are in session.

What is he supposed to do? Stay in Houston and hand out blankets?

The optics might be bad, but Ted Cruz isn’t the governor of Texas. He is a United States senator.

The United States senate has zero control or authority over Texas energy issues.

Should he be choosing to actively suffer with them?

If Abbott was going to Cancun, that would be a legit awful scandal and a betrayal of his people

Ted Cruz? What do people want him to do?

ROFLMAOOOO. This guy said frick it I’m just going take a vacation during an unprecedented crisis. Who the hell voted for this guy?

Has no one ever evacuated before bad weather before?

I asked on the OT if anyone was going to evacuate several days ago before this started so if you had a brain it was something to think about.

I wonder if, maybe, the trip had been planned in advance before anyone knew Texas was going to get snow. Seems possible.

unprecedented crisis


Based on everything I’ve learned the last 4 years I am patiently waiting for the media to blame Biden for the snow, lay every death at his feet, claim he isn’t doing enough no matter what, demand he fix the issues immediately, etc...

Any news outlet doing that yet?

No?

Just angry Ted Cruz, who can work remotely from anywhere, isn’t standing waist deep in snow for a photo op or something?

I mean I have no love for Ted Cruz, but why do we choose to be United and outraged by the dumbest shite?

Shouldn’t we be focusing our outrage on the stupid Obamaera policies that forced this event and the lack of factual reporting and investing in actually helpful energy technology?

that would actually help his constituents who are suffering at the moment. Sounds like something a leader would do to me

Saturday this is all over. It's quite pretty here in East Texas right now. A little cold but a winter wonderland. And my fireplace is roaring. "A country boy can survive, a country boy can survive!"

Edit: interesting replies from a board that would implode if a liberal was doing this
Because liberal politicians are the ones forcing businesses to close and telling other people to stay home. So when someone pushing strict covid restrictions on the public takes a trip like this, its massive hypocrisy. Can’t believe you don’t see the difference

Cruz is an American hero for giving up resources to others. I am as well. Waiting in Ft Meyers to get back after two days of cancelled flights to Dallas.

If news report came out that Cruz left all his lights on and thermostat at 80 degrees this board would defend him.

No it would not, especially if there were proof of such a claim...
