As the state quite literally froze over and his constituents went without basic necessities, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and his family booked a flight to Cancún, Mexico, and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton. The New York Times reported that in a group text with friends and neighbors, Cruz's wife, Heidi, revealed she wanted to escape their "FREEZING" house.

Senator Ted Cruz flew back to Texas after a devastating natural disaster hit the state while he was on vacation and required him to actually do his job. No, you have not found yourself back in 2021, history is just repeating itself.

"The agony that Texas is feeling right now…there aren't words to describe," Cruz told CBS News Texas on Monday.
