Face a tsunami of criticism and hilarious memes, Cancun Ted slinked back into Houston this afternoon after less than 24 hours after fleeing HTX for a pleasant weekend on the beach in Mexico. Avoiding reporters at the airport, HPD officers escorted him out the backdoor. He was met by reporters at his home, and was as close to contrite for being a tone-deaf dickweed as I’ve ever seen him. Here’s the report.
UPDATE: Yep, it’s true. Caught red handed fleeing the power crisis in Texas, he’s been caught again booking a coach ticket and putting himself on the upgrade list for a flight back today. This is only getting better. Welcome back to our world, Rafael.
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

ORIGINAL POST: Yesterday evening, Ted Cruz’s twitter feed went quiet. Now, Ted loves him some Twitter, not as much as Trump did, but still likes to spout bullshit and hyper partisan insults multiple times per day. He’s a prolific retweeter, but hasn’t done so for hours. Why, you ask? Apparently, Lyin’ Ted is coordinating his relief efforts for Texans freezing in the dark from…wait for it…the beach in Cancun. That’s right, folks, reports started emerging last night that Ted and his family were photographed multiple times on a United flight to Cancun yesterday afternoon. Several people have confirmed the report including an advisor to Jon Ossoff.

Meanwhile, Beto lead an effort in Texas yesterday making wellness calls to 151,000 senior citizens and getting people to warming centers. Let’s be frank: Texas voters are stupid. First, many don’t even show up to vote. When they do show up, they vote for a carpetbagger like Cruz because he knows how to push rightwingers’ buttons. Only in Texas can some one of Latino descent can style himself as an anti-immigrant white supremacist and get away with it. Cruz doesn’t care if you live or die; that’s a given based on his heartless taunting and incendiary rhetoric he regularly spouts. To help himself politically he actually bent the knee to Trump even after he insulted Cruz’s wife and accused his father of being a conspirator in the JFK assassination. He objected to the electoral vote to suck up to Trump. With his reputation, Cruz going off to Cancun in the middle of a statewide crisis is totally believable. We’ll monitor this story. Oh, and Lyin’ Ted is now Cancun Ted.
