Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz is in hot water after warning about high water from a hurricane-strength storm heading toward his state.
Cruz on Sunday shared a social media post from Jim Mattress Mack McIngvale, the founder of Gallery Furniture in Houston.
"Gallery Furniture is here for you as Hurricane Beryl approaches," the post states. "Call us if you need us!"

Cruz shared the post and captioned it with, "Mack is an American hero."
"Stay safe & avoid high water as the hurricane makes landfall," the senator wrote Sunday.

@NMBAJV also chimed in over the weekend, "You Tweeting from Cancun Fled Ted? We all know you’re NO Hero."
