As political rivals called for his resignation, Mr Cruz justified the flight by saying that his one-night stay in Cancun was to drop his children off before he flew home.
Social media photographs showed Mr Cruz on the flight yesterday as the southern United States, which rarely sees severe winter conditions, was hit with extreme cold temperatures. Across Texas, utility companies struggled to restore power, seven million people in the state were told to boil water before consuming it, and authorities opened 300 emergency "warming centres"."With schools cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon," Mr Cruz said in a statement today.
"My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas." In a radio interview earlier this week, Mr Cruz urged people to "just stay home" as the winter weather hit.Mr Cruz, an ally of former president Donald Trump, is considered a likely 2024 Republican presidential candidate.
He flew back.
That's peanuts compared to what our politicians get up to here every week
As he is a prick
So leo drinking cans in the park during the so called pandemic and going on holiday in Spain was a bad thing I was happy to see the man living his life, so do we shame him now
