could just be that most of the rest of the Senate is probably on vacation somewhere right now too
Ok this is pretty fucking bad even for Republican standards. Reminds me of
Christie's day at the beach during Sandy
Edit: actually not during Sandy, but during budget impasse where he ordered beaches to be closed

Chris Christie's Day at the Beach
The New Jersey governor was photographed at a beach after he’d ordered the state’s beaches closed over a budget impasse.

Are you sure that wasn't day at the beach during the beginning of the pandemic when the date closed public beaches?Ok this is pretty fucking bad even for Republican standards. Reminds me of

That was a few years ago. Has nothing to do with Sandy. Christie was pretty good during Sandy from what I remember.Ok this is pretty fucking bad even for Republican standards. Reminds me of

it was actually due to budget impasse, not Sandy

That my take as well. No fucks given even after all these people are going through some dire stuff.
I love seeing comments on social media attacking the people who took the photos and everyone else in the plane, as a way to distract from Cruz being there. One comment was "I bet liberals won't say anything about everyone else on that plane"
like really? That's your angle and line of thought?? 🤡

Oops, yeah, he wasn't the governor during the pandemic, thanks!it was actually due to budget impasse, not Sandy

National media has been playing it so Im assuming they confirmed it
true
Akshully a theocratic authoritarian.
Must be nice. I haven't been able to vacation in over a year thanks to this out of control pandemic...
Also Senators are vaccinated, but what about his family? This sort of travel is irresponsible even if Texas wasn't a mess right now.

Beto, who doesn't hold any elected office, was organizing calls to senior citizens to make sure they have heat and such and to get those items to them if they don't have them.

This is true, but this was also in 2018 when Trump wasn't on the ticket and there was a larger than normal amount of cross-party voting from people who wanted to punish Trump for his behavior, but Trump wasn't on the ballot so Republicans took the hit.
Cruz is historically unpopular for a senator, and 2024 is a presidential year so there will be much higher turnout, but it could go either way, really. It's too far out to predict, one way or another. With all that said I want whomever runs against Cruz to clean his fucking clock, as I am tired of being represented by that loathsome man.
Don't worry his family is vaccinated, it is still irresponsible
Sadly this no energy half apology is somehow slightly better in my opinion than doubling down on the "well california is worst" shit that other repubs in the state continue to push.
Yep, all this.
Though I am absolutely afraid that we'll somehow end up with a Crenshaw replacing him, or worse- a Boebert or other kind of Q-nut. Even if they win by a slim margin, the difference between an (theoretical, for the sake of argument) incompetent democratic senator/governor/etc. and one of the trumped up psycho's needs no explanation.
(to be clear I am not absolving cruz for all of the shit he's done and his role in adding fuel to all of that fire, just pointing out that he's still not all-in on everything, and is just a snivelling little weasel coward)
He def should be their governor. I hope he def takes this as a sign.
My rich Republican brother-in-law that lives in Texas called Beto a flash in the pan. I would greatly enjoy it if that opinion turns out to be wrong.
Oh what is that, a Republican that believes that government shouldn't really do anything is not doing anything? /s
I am not shocked whatsoever by this turd's actions. I won't be shocked when the people who are getting screwed over during this "cold snap" vote this turd into office again.
What would have been shocking would have been seeing Turd up at a podium in whatever city he calls home talking about how he is working with the local power companies, water companies and his "connections" to get things turned around for his constituents.
It would be a step in the right direction for the under-served citizens of Texas!
Don't worry, Beto just scares your BIL.

If there hasn't been a response from Cruz or anyone on his staff about this, it's probably true
Imagine voting against this human garbage In your state along with over 4 million others, just to have ERA post that you deserve this to happen to you...
I honestly think, considering Cruz' past statements, that disappearing from the public eye for the time being is the best thing for authorities in the state to work on the problems. The last thing anybody wants is Cruz drawing more shit.
He should have just stayed at home and shut up, though, now it's going to blow up in their faces.

Was it Iowa, where they experienced massive flooding or wind or something along those lines, and Trump openly mocked it like it was no big deal and was mad because the media wasn't talking about him?
Iowa still voted for Trump.
Nothing an elected Republican will do will change the minds of 95-99% of Republicans. You just have to hope an election is within a point or two, and then maybe, maybe there will be an effect. If Cruz was up for reelection in 2022, this might matter but since it's 2024 and Texas tends to be about 5% over for Republicans, I don't see how it does.
It's the reason fuckers like Cruz are so blatant like this, they know they can be.
Exactly what I thought of. This is the type of shit that even pisses off your base.Ok this is pretty fucking bad even for Republican standards. Reminds me of

all these twitter fuck boys saying "what can he do?! hes not a power generator" are scum of the earth. in my part of town, we have resorted to catching melting icicles off our roof for WATER. this mother fucker is fleeing to cancun. he doesnt even care about appearing like he cares, because guess what, he fucking doesnt. people are dying, starving, cold, have no water, cant get water/food because all the stores are closed or out of stock.
we are suffering. he is on the beach.
