The story keeps getting worse for Cruz (NYT gets Ms. Cruz texts)![]() NYT has texts messages Heidi Cruz sent to friends and Houston neighbors.
Their house was "FREEZING" — and she proposed a Sunday return. Cruz invited others to join them at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún ($309 per night), where they had stayed "many times." Link to tweet EDIT: From the article Text messages sent by his wife revealed a hastily planned trip away from their “FREEZING” family home.
Text messages sent from Ms. Cruz to friends and Houston neighbors on Wednesday revealed a hastily planned trip. Their house was “FREEZING,” as Ms. Cruz put it — and she proposed a getaway until Sunday. Ms. Cruz invited others to join them at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancún, where they had stayed “many times,” noting the room price this week ($309 per night) and its good security. The text messages were provided to The New York Times and confirmed by a second person on the thread, who declined to be identified because of the private nature of the texts.

Just incredibly stupid! And he can't blame anyone but himself (well, maybe a family member or the family pet...
or a friend?) ... I love that it's self-inflicted! What an idiot! Also, this is simple to understand and those citizens/constituents to a person will see the mistake clearly. Who's going to defend him? It's not partisan! Most everyone will be offended, disgusted and pissed! |

Last edited Fri Feb 19, 2021, 12:24 AM - Edit history (1) because a pre-planned trip to Cancun was cancelled by the weather. But they're aged 10 and 13 -- it's not as though he and his wife would have been helping to chaperone a handful of high-schoolers.
He's finally gotten around to admitting he made a mistake -- we ALL make mistakes. But there are mistakes (such a dropping a baseball when the bases are loaded), and then there are mistakes (such as trying to steal a base when the bases are loaded). ![]() rocktivity |
