Since when do you accompany your daughters on a flight....

1. His wife went too and did not return today. This entire story is bullshit.

[catbyte]

2. I have a feeling that the lame coverup is going to be worse than the crime. Especially since United

Airlines has proven that he was supposed to come back on Saturday & that he's flying standby today. It would be hilarious if they bumped him down to economy. Typical arrogant, dick move.

9. He was, in fact, still waiting for an upgrade when his flight took off.

Or at least someone with the initials “CRU, R“ was. (His actual first name is Rafael.)

3. Well ted's wife was there right ? But then again he left his wife and daughter there,...

... to be raped and assaulted by thems naughty and nasty Mexicans.

Right ?

4. Slippers. On the mainland, shoes. Boots, pumps, work boots,

Cowboy boots if that’s all you’ve got handy.

5. and when do you accompany them with your own suitcase if the plan was for you

to return immediately?

[EleanorR]

6. He's lying nt

[FakeNoose]

7. Right, especially when it's THIS daughter

Stop it DAD!

8. Since when does a man have to deliver a grown adult wife to a destination?

[demmiblue]

10. Indeed. +1

[tanyev]

12. Yep. Maybe take them to the airport, give them a kiss,

“Daddy’s got to stay here and help people”, etc.

[cwydro]

13. Good question. I already saw someone suggest it would have been better if he just "sent" his

family away without going with them.

[LizBeth]

14. I remember enough trips I had to make by myself with two little ones. These girls are totally

old enough for it to be an easy peasy.

[KewlKat]

11. One of the media outlets said the airline said he changed his flight today and was originally

scheduled for a Saturday return.

It's fake outrage...he's been caught and he knows it. More smoke and mirrors and bait and switch.

It is understood that Mr Cruz initially planned to return on Saturday but changed his return flight to Thursday as the outcry grew.
