What happens in Cancun stays in Cancun unless youre a U.S. senator.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz admitted Thursday that he obviously made a mistake by flying off with his family to the popular Mexican tourist destination while his home state remained paralyzed by a catastrophic winter storm that has knocked out power and water for millions of residents.
Cruz, who left for Cancun on Wednesday with his family, told reporters after landing back in Texas on Thursday evening that he went to the Mexican beach paradise because his two daughters had been cold for two days and were begging to get out of their home in Houstons ritzy River Oaks neighborhood.
It was obviously a mistake. In hindsight, I wouldnt have done it. I was trying to be a dad, said Cruz, one of the most conservative Republicans in Congress. I think there are a lot of parents thatd be like, If I can do this, great! Thats what I wanted to do.
He claimed he started second-guessing the last-minute trip as soon as his family took off from an airport in Houston.

Feb 2021
OP
Oldem
(833 posts)1. Reactions to 4th paragraph.
Sentence one: Duh.
Sentence two: Ever consider foresight, Teddo?
Sentence three: Deflection, rank play for sympathy
Sentence four: "A lot parents" aren't Senators with freezing, hungry, thirsty, and sick constituents.
Oh, and the next paragraph: Prove you had second thoughts, Ted; easy to say, when what you were really thinking was, "Ah, a warm room, the beach, and margaritas." Also, your statement implies that you have good judgement, while all your actions prove you don't.
