I suspect the only thing most people know about Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is that he’s the cuckold who stood in line to kiss Trump’s ass even after Trump publicly humiliated his wife.
But he could have explained that as a reflection of the craven art of politics that defined the Republican Party during the Trump presidency. This, especially if he in fact believes Trump’s wife Melania is so hot, she makes his wife Heidi look like a bulldog.
But there’s no explaining this:
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-TX, was caught jetting out of Houston on Wednesday evening to the sunny beaches of Cancun, leaving voters in his home state shivering in the darkness amid a winter storm that has knocked out power for several days. After #CancunCruz began trending on Thursday, however, the Houston Police told ABC News his office confirmed that the Republican senator was rushing back after facing scrutiny for skipping town as his home state stares down a disaster.

And, as if that were not shameful enough, this shameless SOB told a series of lies in a vain attempt to cover his ass. Lyin’ Ted even threw his own daughters under the bus, claiming that the trip was all their idea, and that he was only being a good Dad by making sure they and their friends got to Cancun safely.
Evidently, this lie was too deplorable for the close friends who traveled with him. Because one of them leaked the text messages his wife sent proposing the immediate getaway, because Texas in a snowstorm with no power is for suckers.
But can you imagine any politician stooping any lower than that…?
