Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Friday once again received harsh criticism for fleeing Texas for a Mexican vacation after GOP-caused power outages during a fatal winter storm.
In February, Cruz was blasted for abandoning his state during the disaster and then attempting to blame his choice on his daughters.
The topic resurfaced on Friday after Cruz traveled to the border with Mexico and attempted to join the GOP chorus of fear-mongering about immigration. After he posted a video from the Rio Grande Valley on Twitter, he was harshly reminded about his Cancun vacation.
Here's some of what people were saying:
Ted, did you film this when you were in Cancun? You've already crossed the border, we all saw that.

Any takers on a bet that the Cancun Four Seasons is behind that shrubbery?

Trying to sneak across the border to go back to Cancun?
