While Texas froze amid power crises, Sen. Ted Cruz traveled to Mexico for family vacation.
Days into an energy crisis that left millions of Texans without power and water amid freezing temperatures, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz boarded a plane to Cancún, Mexico.
Fellow passengers at the airport and onboard the same plane snapped photos of the Texas Republican and shared them on social media Wednesday evening, prompting immediate backlash online from Texans still struggling with power outages and inspiring a call for his resignation from the Texas Democratic Party.
Initial news reports said Cruz was traveling to Cancún — where temperatures on Wednesday were about 80 degrees — for a long-planned trip with his family and he was expected to return to Texas immediately.
