Ted Cruz mocked for posting photos handing out water after the Cancun reaction.

Senator Ted Cruz wanted to show his dedication to helping Texans struggling due to a deep freeze that led to power outages and burst pipes statewide. So the senator, who tried to brush off criticism after taking a jaunt to Cancun last week as his constituents suffered, posted photos of himself on Twitter carrying water to several cars. One photo even shows him shaking hands with a person. “#TexasStrong”, he wrote in the tweet.

The tweets came after several Democratic leaders were keen to demonstrate how they were helping Texas while Cruz was on his way to Cancun. And a lot on social networks I didn’t buy it, calling Cruz’s photoshoot too little, too late and an obvious attempt to rehabilitate his image. “I’m glad someone from Ted Cruz’s Senate office finally gave him instructions on how to fake compassion, humanity, and create the illusion that he cares about the people he’s been for.” elected, ”Melissa Ryan, who worked as a digital Democratic Party strategist, mentionned. Some pointed out that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises everyone to self-quarantine seven days after the trip.

Cruz admitted that the trip to Cancun “was obviously a mistake” and said that “in hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it”. Cruz said he was trying to be a “good dad” but realized it was a mistake and changed his flight home. At first, the senator tried to say he planned to drop off only his family, but later admitted that he changed his flight to return earlier than planned. United Airlines is looking to find out who leaked the data revealing Cruz changed his return flight after all the backlash on social media. “It is against United’s policy to share personal information about our customers and we are investigating this incident,” United Airlines said in a statement.
