The New York Times, Fox News and CNN reported that Cruz left the state on Wednesday for a family vacation at the Mexican destination. The state has experienced massive power outages due to an unusual winter blast that brought snow and ice and well below freezing temperatures.Cruz had been tweeting about the dire situation and forecast. On Tuesday, he retweeted a story from The Hill on how some Republicans, including himself, last year mocked California for its power outages.
Pictures of Cruz on a flight said to be to Cancun circulated on social media. There also have been some media reports that Cruz was headed back to Houston on Thursday. Congress is not in session this week, as most members have gone back to their home states and districts. Cruz does not have direct authority to respond to the crisis in the state, as responsibility lies with state and federal officials. But the image of traveling to a resort spot in the midst of a disaster-like situation is not a good look for any politician, particularly one who hasn’t been shy about calling out hypocrisy on his social media accounts. That includes government figures who have traveled after advising people not to during the Covid-19 pandemic.
President Joe Biden issued a federal emergency declaration for Texas on Sunday in response to the severe weather.
If by 'media firestorm' you mean social justice twitter warriors with nothing better to do with their time.

Word of flight to Cancun from frozen Texas lands Senator Ted Cruz in hot waterU.S. Senator Ted Cruz flew to the Mexican resort city of Cancun with his family, Fox News reported on Thursday, as millions of his fellow Texans struggled through a deadly deep freeze, sparking a slew of criticism. The Republican lawmaker, 50, faced widespread criticism as photos circulated on social media showing him in an airport line, in a passenger lounge, aboard an airliner and departing an airport in Mexico. It was unclear when the photos were taken and Cruz's Senate office did not respond to multiple queries. That takes serious balls to do that....Democrat or Republican..you can’t skip town in the middle of a crisis. I could accept him sending his family to Mexico but him staying home...but to just leave. Wow. Capitalism at work. Endless greed sure because he is special
