The group chat was labelled “XXXX Lovelies” (presumably the name of their street); it included some of the women in the Cruz family’s neighbourhood. The subject was the cold weather they were experiencing in Texas, but it quickly turned to going away, when Heidi, the wife of Republican Senator Ted Cruz, asked whether any of the families were up for a trip to Cancun.
The Cruz family getaway, of course, went viral, and the Texas senator, 50, faced fierce backlash after pictures emerged of the couple and their two daughters, Caroline, 12, and Cathryn, 10, flying out of the state while millions struggled without power, heat and water during a deadly storm, the Daily Mail reports.
And now, it seems, one of the group members spilled the tea to the New York Times, providing them with evidence of the group chats, as seen here:
Heidi texted “Anyone can or want to leave for the week? We may go to Cancun …,” adding that there were flights available and that the Ritz-Carlton hotel had availability at $309 a night.

It’s what happens when ambition over rules loyalty to the Constitution.
Running for President while Canadian had a lot to do with why Cruz is not popular.
I still want to know why she ended up crying on the side of the interstate one night. She seems wacko.
This Texan doesn’t care where Cruz was during the big freeze. That’s one less family who was using precious electricity and water. And one less family buying the last can off the grocery shelves. He couldn’t have done anything. He’s not in charge of ERCOT. He can’t get the water back on. He has zero authority in any of the freeze situation.
Seriously, stop the bashing, libs. The msm just have to have a whipping boy for every hate story. He can’t even pass out water bottles without catching flak.
The only thing he did wrong was bend over to the msm and apologize.
Please, tell this Texan what in blazes he could have done. Good on him leaving. That’s one less household draining power.
This Texan hated him running for POTUS but I’ll be if I put any fabricated blame on him for this trumped up bs.
She SHOULD BE PISSED!
True.
Have you noticed NONE of the bimbos or pretentious 'men' of the press have called for China to apologize for murdering millions of people around the world with their sloppy handling of bio-weapons? Not one press bimbo...
The truth shall set you free.....cruz is a liar, we all know it, it's not the first time he's lied and it won't be the last, he's no better than the rest of them.
China owns a good many of those West Texas wind turbines that failed. Those bend out of shape over where Cruz was, then where are the questions where Xi was?
Apparently Teddy thinks he could have done something as he rushed
back to Texas, apologized numerous times and set up a photo op
delivering water.
did n’t she and the kiddos come back early after the SHTF?
she does not owe anybody of where she goes, paid with her own money.
I’m sure even in her circle of friends, she has a frenemy or 2....women can be bitchy.
Circle the wagons and defend any and every Republican unless they are a true back stabber such as Liz Cheney or Sen. Murkowski.
The Dems always do this, look as Swawell, etc, this foolish and petty nit picking is exactly what the Dems want us to do so they can get the fake hispanic elected Senator.
You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.

You can’t be friends with liberals anymore.
“Which one is it?”
You like many have failed to understand what I think is the major reason the GOP is laying down. They are so scared of the liberal media and what they can invent to sour voters they will do what they can to stay out of the limelight...even grovelling.
I worked within the Disaster Preparedness sections of military and civilian support for around 20 years. Senators have nothing to do with natural disasters except to walk around and let people cry to them. As soon as governor requests, and he has to, the president sends in FEMA, The Department of the Army sends in the Guard, and many, mainly contractors in the supply and civil engineering sections go into action under the control of FEMA with assistance from the local experts in the effected areas.
There is a whole network of people that get into a disaster, basically from FEMA and the state joint coordination outlined in the particular state constitution.
A good spec on this is this:
But no where within this system is there a request for a senator, congressman, or even the president himself. It would be better if they would stay out of the way. I’ve been involved with a couple of these and as long as they are left alone, trained personnel can do their job much easier without the politicians or in a few cases the locals getting in the way. It’s one of the reasons the NDR&R is written the way it is. When untrained people get into the loop, it creates problems.
And instead of Cruz telling people that he was not supposed to play in this, and is a private citizen with a way to protect his family, he should have. Instead he folded up like the proverbial lawn chair to untrue pressure applied by the lying media. I guess his guts and intelligence is still that of a politician and not a father and good man. You gave him two options. I gave him a third....the truth of what happened to be said and prove he was right as a father and husband. Guess that was erased as soon as he considered votes and embarrassed himself, his party, and his family. Gutless.

“ he’s no better than the rest of them”.
Those are the key words in your post. And True.
Cruz will be lucky to win his seat next time he is up.
However, he will never be President. Ever.
Better yet, Heidi should have taken the kids to Sedona or Orlando and left Ted home.
The people who run the American press hate Cruz and are too stupid to understand the Chinese.
Twitter can sometimes be a source of biting humor.
One guy on my timeline said “I’ve given up trying to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other.”
well said
Nobody here is mad about it. He represents us in the Senate, he doesn’t run anything in the state. Most folks think it was a pretty good idea to head to Cancun- we are not set up to handle conditions like that.
