Senator Cruz is being persecuted yet again, this time for the crime of being a good parent. What has he done?
He has removed his family from the freezing wastes of Texas.
Quote:
Photos of the Republican lawmaker at an airport emerged on Twitter on Wednesday, fuelling reports that he had left Texas amid the energy crisis.
Texas has seen power and water outages due to the uncommonly frigid weather.
The high profile Republican has drawn quick criticism for taking an international trip amid the weather emergency in his state. "People in Texas are literally freezing to death and yet Ted Cruz went on vacation to Cancun," wrote Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal on Twitter.

Yes, whatever, Pramila Jayapal (and what kind of Texan are you, with a name like that?) but in so doing, the Senator has reduced the call on Texas power and water companies from his own household, thus leaving more for other Texans.
Just as an aside, I heard that the "holiday" story was just cover for an inspection of progress on The Wall. But I can't reveal my source for this information.
