Text messages reportedly sent by Heidi Cruz as she planned a Cancun getaway with her husband, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) were leaked to The New York Times.

"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," the newspaper reported.

Cruz is a managing director at Goldman Sachs.

Resign.............

[walkingman]

1. A disgusting human being.

[trueblue2007]

42. his new name is RUN AWAY TED

[exboyfil]

2. Let them eat cake

We are having some tasty tacos.

[JI7]

3. Maybe her shitty husband should have focused on helping his state

than attacking California and other liberal places in hid years in office.

[underpants]

4. Oh how beautifully delicious

An asshole in a snowstorm.

[riversedge]

5. Ted C. made a bad decision his lying just digs him in deeper.

[Midnight Writer]

6. They might as well be wearing jackets that say "I really don't care, do you?"

[panader0]

18. Oh please, someone smarter than me make a photoshop of your suggestion.

Ted Cruz with Melania's jacket.

[enid602]

7. Mr Haney

I sw Ted just now on TV, trying to explain the trip. The weasel looked and sounded just like Mr. Haney from Green Acres.

[magicarpet]

35. Here ya go....

[MyOwnPeace]

8. "Resign?"

Silly - that would be the honorable thing to do - and we all know that there is NOTHING honorable about Senator Ted Cruz!

[Blue Owl]

9. Like anyone believed Ted's flimsy, slimy cover stories anyway

[CentralMass]

12. If his lips are moving....

[BobTheSubgenius]

44. His supporters, and all their fellow travelers, don't need cover stories they can believe in.

All they want is the barest minimum of plausibility. "OK, for the sake of argument, let's say that your explanation holds water in some version of reality. Good enough?"

[tanyev]

10. Heh.

[Bobstandard]

11. Cruz has already begun to believe his bs..

For a moment, when his aides told him how bad the “optics” were, Cruz recognized his mistake. But as he proposed and now repeats his absurd justification, he begins to believe it. For Ted, those self serving lies are passing through the lie/truth brain barrier into the realm of absolute certainty, right about...now.

Expect a lifetime of full throated defense on the one hand, and a ‘victim of cancel culture’ lamentation on the other.

[Gothmog]

13. The Cruzes' friends and neighbors are ratting them out

Link to tweet

[BootinUp]

32. Bwah!

[BobTheSubgenius]

45. They have friends?

When did this happen?

[malaise]

14. They gave not a thought to the pandemic or

the required quarantines.

[lunasun]

15. Imagine these people in TX reading that Cruz text message

[UpInArms]

16. Awwwwww .... she was cold!

[BannonsLiver]

17. I'd peg the chances he resigns at roughly 0.000000

[KY_EnviroGuy]

19. How convenient for Golden Sacks to employ a senator's wife....

but not so convenient for the everyday folks in Texas.

These Rethugs have liquid hubris running out of their ears.....

[Major Nikon]

23. She was appointed to the position on November 15, 2012

Cruz was first elected on November 6, 2012.

So yeah, funny how that all worked out.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

24. +1.

And possibly fired the day after he resigns or gets beat.......


Thanks........

[Iggo]

31. Now THERE'S some bad optics!

[Baitball Blogger]

20. Big ole houses with cathedral ceilings must be impossible to heat.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. Yes, but it's the swimming pool, water garden and hot tub equipment that is really hard....

to pack up for a trip to Cancun with wealthy friends.......


KY.......

[GeorgeGist]

21. Deplorables come in all ...

sizes.

[Mariana]

25. As much as I hate to give credit to Trump for anything

he certainly got it right when he dubbed Cruz "Lyin' Ted".

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

40. Trump is right about something about as often as

April Fools Day falls on a Saturday. But yes, he got it right about Flyin' (and Lyin') Ted.

Hilarious to read that their "friends" and neighbors are dropping dimes on them right and left!

[Politicub]

26. Lordy there are texts!

[torius]

27. Minimum wage of $7.25 x 40 hours

is $290 for a WEEK of hard work. Less than one night at the Ritz-Carlton Cancun, where they frequently stay. Such a man of the people.

[dalton99a]

28. Kick

[DinahMoeHum]

29. If you like pina coladas. . .getting caught on a plane. . .

. . .if you're not into winter. . .and the voters you disdain. . .
. . .if your political career. . .goes circling down the drain. . .
. . .better stay out of Texas. . .if you've got half a brain. . .

etc.

[MustBeTheBooz]

36. Very nicely done! eom

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

41. "if you're not into winter"

very good line that flows perfectly!

[bamagal62]

30. And, they way that he tried to explain

It away because this year’s been so hard on his children. “They just wanted to go somewhere.” So, can all the other kids that have had a tough year go to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun? Jeez.

[Marie Marie]

34. "They just wanted to go somewhere." FFS

We ALL want to go somewhere -but don't because" a) We are in a pandemic. b) The people in Texas are stuck and c) many can't afford to just jump on a plane to someplace sunny and warm. What an entitled prick!

[Takket]

33. but please.... do go on about "elitist Democrats"

[Mendocino]

37. Sure hope that the

"whine" doesn't freeze.

[jalan48]

38. When you're privileged you deserve special things.

[sfdennis1]

39. Was Trump Right?

Of course not....but when he "called her ugly" if he had specified that he meant ugly ON THE INSIDE, he would have been closer to 'right' than he's ever been before.

[struggle4progress]

43. When the going gets tough, Ted cruises to Cancun

[speak easy]

46. 'Flyin Ted'

[Meowmee]

47. Sad thing is

They will most likely keep voting him into office.
