Ted Cruz Responds to Photo of Him Leaving Texas Before Winter Storm

[mwmisses4289]

10. The last time, he left a day or too after the storm hit

and he first tried blaming his daughters (iirc, they were 8 and 11 at the time), got rightly excoriated for that stupid move, then claimed it was a vacay his wife had planned. I believe what came out was one of them (ted or his wife) couldn't stand the cold or being in the dark in their fancy river oaks mansion, and fled to cancun. What really iced the cake, though, was they left their dog behind, and had someone come in a couple of times a day to look after it. My memory is a little fuzzy of when they returned: I think there was enough of an outcry that ted returned and did a couple of photo ops, and wife and daughters returned once power in their area had been restored and back on for a few days.
Our other guy, cornyn, stayed in d.c., was in the hospital, i think.
