HEADING HOME Ted Cruz’s wife Heidi seen at Cancun airport to fly back to Texas as parents at daughters’ school demand they quarantine

TED Cruz's wife and daughters are reportedly on their way home from Cancun amid intense backlash over the family's trip during a deadly winter storm in Texas.

Heidi, 48, was spotted alongside Catherine, 12, and Caroline, 10, at an airport terminal on Saturday after her controversial stay at the $300-a-night Ritz Carlton resort in Mexico.

Furious parents at St John's school in Houston have demanded the Texas senator's girls should quarantine when they return from Mexico - leaving them unable to study as they cannot learn online in isolation.

Just weeks before Cruz embarked on his controversial Cancun trip to escape the state's devastating winter storm, the elite private school emailed parents about international travel.

The notice warned that St. John’s School students who travel internationally must quarantine for 7 to 10 days upon their return, as per CDC guidelines.

One reason why conservatives have lost so much! The stupid party is still stupid! They’ve learned nothing. You would think Cruz and the rest of idiots would’ve made a beeline to Texas for photo ops because after all optics is everything! Instead he takes off to Cancun. I’m afraid Beto might have a superior shot at becoming our next senator! The Democrats are milking it for everything they’ve got and AOC is brilliantly out manuring Cruz, Crenshaw, and Senator Cornyn. They are getting royally screwed! Texans are beyond pissed at this point.

Why is someone of Cruz’s stature sending his kids to public school at all? or if it is private why are they sending their kids to a Leftist private school?
