After fleeing during winter freeze, Ted Cruz blasts Texas Democrats for fleeing to kill GOP voting

After fleeing during winter freeze, Ted Cruz blasts Texas Democrats for fleeing to kill GOP voting bill


It's hard to tell whether U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, suffers more from a lack of a filter or a lack of any sense of shame.

Of course, Cruz's complaint comes less than six months after he faced withering criticism for fleeing the state during February's devastating ice storm so he could take his family to balmy Cancun. An estimated 700 of his constituents died during the disaster.
