Only someone as terrible as Ted Cruz would:
1. Go to Cancun.
2. Lie and blame it on his children.
3. Be outed by his friends sharing texts with the media.

Senator Ted Cruz at the airport in Cancún on Thursday, as he returned to the United States. “What’s happening in Texas is unacceptable,” he told a television crew.

Are we sure they are HIS friends? It was his wife sending the texts to the group, and she's far more likely to actually have any friends than he is -- even if she is the kind of person who would marry Ted Cruz. Only because the alternative is Ted Cruz, of course.

Ted likes to hide behind skirts it appears. Is that what a Texas man does, hide behind women?
