Sen. Ted Cruz on Facebook.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) suffered a major political scandal when he fled Texas during a fatal winter storm to vacation in Cancun, Mexico.
In May, Cruz received scorn after attempting to joke about the incident.
Cruz raised the issue again on Saturday in an effort to attack Biden for going on vacation.
Cancun is lovely this time of year.https://twitter.com/gop/status/1446914212186443778\u00a0\u2026— Ted Cruz (@Ted Cruz) 1633816850
Cruz received harsh criticism of his tweet. Here's some of what people were saying:
When you decide to joke about that time you flew to Cancun while your constituents literally froze to deathhttps://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1446958860615421953\u00a0\u2026— Brandon Friedman (@Brandon Friedman) 1633821511
The setup here is that a senator went on a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Cancun while millions of people in his state lost power during extreme winter storms, and then he fought an infrastructure bill because of "reckless spending". The punchline is that the senator is you.

As a constituent of your's, I REALLY don't think your choice to abandon us in our time of need is something for you to joke about. Especially with winter coming & everyone reporting it's going to be much worse than last year. It WASN'T funny then, nor is it funny now.

Hey Rafael, first time long time. Can you retweet your objections of Trump golfing every weekend for four years and avoiding his responsibility for hundred of thousands of American deaths during the outbreak of Covid. I'll hang up and wait for your response.

I also love reminding your constituents that you literally fled the country during a massive crisis leaving them behind to suffer as you get a wrinkly chub tan

The level of critique-self-awareness and reverse trolling that @tedcruz does really makes me laugh.

But better in February when your constituents are literally freezing, don't you think?
Seriously, the @GOP needs to get a grip. Trump spent the vast majority of weekends golfing at one of his properties and raking in tax $. Joe goes home to Delaware. He's allowed.

I hear February is a good time to visit, too.https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1446958860615421953\u00a0\u2026— Timothy Fanning (@Timothy Fanning) 1633818442
