  1. Once again he runs away when the citizens of Texas are suffering, how can people still vote for this guy?

  2. I thought this headline was a joke, but it’s so real. The banana slug was in Europe this time.

  3. Wasn’t the last time a snowstorm? Well at least he is adding some variety.

  4. Sweaty Teddy was, is & always be useless
    He’s a rubber stamp for Conservative Idiocracy.

  5. Not only is he on vacation he’s out of the country again lol

  6. Formerly Cancun Cruz, now known as Greek Cruz.

  8. I hate myself for saying this, but it really isn’t on him this time (though last time he got on a plane to avoid known weather). He was in Greece when it started and the weather escalated quickly. Now what is on him is voting to kill funding to FEMA and other organizations at worst, or at best turning a blind eye to DOGE while they did. He is to blame just as much as any senator, but not for being on vacation this time. But the timing is great for PR.

  9. From the article: Cruz was accompanied at the Parthenon by his family and a security guard, according to a reported eyewitness, who told The Daily Beast: “As he walked past us, I simply said, ‘20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?’” The senator is said to have “sort of grunted and walked on,” while his wife, Heidi Cruz, “shot [the source] a dirty look,” before “they continued on with their tour guide.”

  10. so many angles here….

    dude went to Greece for the 4th of July? Not as bad as a bunch of congress critters going to Moscow a few years ago, but surely this upsets the great patriots in the great state of Texas?

    and ya know, the obvious one… AGAIN?!

  11. He couldn’t even be bothered to be in the USA for some performative 4th of July patriotism!

  12. also spending another Independence Day abroad. This guy really doesn’t love America does he

  14. Of course he was on vacation. He’s always on vacation when it comes to actually doing anything for his state…or anyone except himself.

  15. If I had a nickel every time Ted Cruz went on vacation while THE STATE HE REPRESENTES experienced a massive disaster I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but IT SHOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED TWICE

  17. Rafael “Ted” Cruz is controlling the weather every single time he leave a the state.

  18. He was out of town on vacation during the massive freeze too. Funny, he seems to be on vacation a lot.

    I wonder how often most of his constituents are able to vacation.

  19. So does he exclusively vacation during his states national emergencies, or is he just vacationing so much that it seems like that?

  20. It’s weird for a US senator to leave the country on vacation for 4th of July, right?

  23. If Cruz is running like a rat out of the country, you KNOW some disaster hit Texas. I guess he is the next ‘disaster alarm’ for Texas now. Just look at his flights

  29. If he keeps taking his vacations the same time every year, it’ll start to look like a trend

  30. Just like in Winter 2021 he took off to Cancun while people in his state lost power and literally froze to death

  31. He doesn’t care. He will get reelected anyway. There’s no shame here for him to feel.

  33. Same as it ever was…I just hope the dog wasn’t left alone like the last time. Dirtbag.

  34. Oh, anyone notice that every time Texas gets hit with a disaster CruZ is nowhere to be found. Does he know before it happens.

  35. If I had a nickle for every time that happened, I’d have…. wait, how many natural disasters has Texas experienced while he’s been in office again?

    That many.
