Sen. Ted Cruz is facing the wrath of the left for having been spotted with his family reportedly boarding an airplane en route to Cancun Wednesday afternoon.
Images of Cruz at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport emerged late Wednesday and early Thursday morning, first from random Twitter users, and then later from verified blue checkmark journalists like David Shuster.
Using the photos, internet sleuths were able to link the senator to a specific United Airlines flight from Houston to Cancun scheduled for 4:44 pm EST, Wednesday.
View the photos below:
Just confirmed @SenTedCruz and his family flew to Cancun tonight for a few days at a resort they’ve visited before. Cruz seems to believe there isn’t much for him to do in Texas for the millions of fellow Texans who remain without electricity/water and are literally freezing. pic.twitter.com/6nPiVWtdxe

Re: the Ted Cruz/Cancun thing, this is the photo that unlocks the whole thing. He’s in a United terminal. In the top left you can that it’s 4:10 pm (or 4ish PM at least). To the left of that, you can see that he’s near gate E11, with its destination being Ft. Lauderdale. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/hUuUqSNBze

UA1675 out of IAH was delayed, leaving terminal E11 today at 7:58 pm. (2/3) pic.twitter.com/buSnw1v5NK

UA1020 to Cancun left IAH from the gate immediately adjacent, E10, at 4:44 PM, the same hour that Ted Cruz is seen standing near E11.
This is almost certainly legit. (3/3) pic.twitter.com/4ZUjFNRT7T

The Associated Press later obtained confirmation that Cruz had indeed traveled to Cancun but was headed back.
“The high-profile Republican lawmaker went with his family for a long-planned trip to Cancun and was expected to return immediately,” the outlet reported Thursday, citing a source “with direct knowledge of the situation.”
Politico’s Jake Sherman meanwhile obtained proof that Cruz was indeed headed back, and Lois Romano obtained confirmation that he’d always been intent on flying home — that his goal had only been to accompany his family en route to Cancun.
Look:
Here’s the upgrade list for this afternoon’s flight from Cancun to Houston.
Looks like @tedcruz is on his way back, @danpfeiffer. He’s just narrowly missing the upgrade list
That’s assuming that “cru, r” is him. And I do. pic.twitter.com/CqfKa5rJfG

Statement to come: Senator Cruz was always flying back to Texas today. He merely accompanied his family for the night.

Cruz is expected to release a formal statement sometime Thursday, not that it will likely do anything to calm the rage that’s being directed his way by the left.
Fresh off of celebrating the death of legendary conservative radio show host Rush Limbaugh, members of the left are now shrieking for his resignation. The more hateful ones have even managed to combine both subjects.
Look: (**Language warning)
Ted Cruz’s vacation makes me so mad because it’s so callous to the people of Texas and also robbed us of several more hours of jokes about Rush Limbaugh’s death.

Fuck you @tedcruz, you didn’t have the testicular fortitude to let your people know that you abandoned them? What kind of a human being are you. besides a shitty one.

i will never get over @tedcruz fleeing to cancun in the middle of a pandemic, while millions of texas residents are freezing and without water, power, or heat. the literal definition of a worthless sack of shit. #cancruz pic.twitter.com/rrzzBq7qCN

What a disgusting monster! 🤬
And the irony of him going to Mexico to seek refuge is astonishing.
I can’t wait to help get @tedcruz out of office. Tus días están contado.
Republicans, your representatives don’t care about you! #VoteHimOut #VoteThemOut #AdiosTed https://t.co/plfYLAJUY7

Whether or not the senator had truly been intent on just accompanying his family en route to Cancun probably doesn’t matter to these people. They already hated him for just being a conservative, not to mention for his decision to legally challenge the 2020 election results.
That being said, some conservatives have come to Cruz’s defense:
Far be it from me to defend Ted Cruz, who I dunk on so much here on Twitter that I’m sure it’s at least a venial sin if not a mortal one, but why is it controversial for him to go to Cancun? He’s in DC. What’s he supposed to do, fly to Texas to freeze in solidarity or something?
— Jeff B., who on earth is this guy?? (@EsotericCD) February 18, 2021
What could @tedcruz do if he were here in Texas? I’m hard-pressed to say. If he’s in Cancun, that means he’s not using up valuable resources of energy, food and water that can now be used by someone else. This is probably the best thing he could do for the state right now

Keep in mind that these defenses are based on the presumption that Cruz had traveled to Cancun to vacation, not simply accompany his family for the trip.
