Column: Ted Cruz goes full movie villain with his craven flight to Cancun

Even Ronald Reagan’s principles are now considered political losers, thoroughly obliterated by fealty to Trump.

Because in the middle of a state-wide emergency during which millions are shivering in the dark without water or power, the Houston police have nothing better to do.In the absence of any official Cruz comment, comedian Blaire Erskine filled the void with a video of herself as a spokesperson for the senator, defending his need to have an “Eat Pray Love” moment. The parody was so spot-on that some people — OK, me — actually fell for it.

After more than 12 hours of social media obsession over his whereabouts, the senator released a statement praising himself for taking the trip — simply an act of parental selflessness, he said. “With school canceled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon.”

Shameless does not begin to describe the whole wretched, revealing incident, although “Cancun Cruz” feels like a moniker with staying power.

No one ever said Texas voters were intelligent but voting for Ted Cruz does make them seem rather foolish. Why?

Remember this shit when he runs again. He's counting on you to forget. If he was up for re-election in the next two years, he would not have done that shit.

It’s bad optics for sure. Not sure what people want him to do exactly. Put people with Covid in nursing homes?

please stop telling lies,lat.

Smartest dude in all texas

Cru, R lost touch with his constituents and reality back in 2015 when he thought this Country needed him as its President. It’s been down hill since.

How about covering Gov. Cuomo who killed people instead of Ted who was being a Dad and helping his family. And back the next day in Texas. Slow news day or another blatant attack on Republicans?

Where is our commander-in-chief, President Biden? Thurs morning, he decided to take a snow day. President Biden is ultimately in charge of FEMA & all of the country's emergency resources and federal agencies? Yeah, he took a day off in the middle of this natural disaster.

Such BS

Even republicans hate this guy.

CHICANO

Mexico should have stopped Ted Cruz when he landed in Cancun, took his children and locked them in cages and forced him to return to the U.S. without them. Mexico should have then went on Fox News and talked about a caravan of U.S. Insurrectionists invading their country.

Why didn't you write hit pieces like this when your own governor wasn't following his Covid lockdown rules?
