Ted Cruz’s wife in Texas boasted of the couple’s upcoming trip to sunny Cancun, Mexico, amid the ‘freezing’ weather plaguing the Lone Star State – and invited several neighbors to join them on to go.
The Republican lawmaker, who flew home Thursday amid outrage over his trip during the one-off storm, claimed he was only looking for his daughters and their mates on the run.
But leaked messages obtained by local news agency Reform Austin reveal that his wife, Heidi, invited friends and neighbors to the getaway at the Ritz-Carlton, where she noted that the price for a room was $ 309 plus tax was.
Anyone can or wants to leave for the week? “We can go to Cancun, there is a direct flight at 16.45 and the hotels are able,” she apparently wrote early Wednesday.
‘Serious. “Covid is testing to get back what we will take there,” she added.
“Are you warm enough … We have a fireplace! Let us know. Our house is freezing, so we stayed … last night it could not stand it anymore, ‘Heidi Cruz allegedly wrote in the thread, which contains a few edited words.
Reform Austin said he received the messages from a group discussion in River Oaks, the affluent neighborhood where the senator lives, when he was in Houston.
Cruz, who is excited for the trip because his state is facing the disastrous weather, cut his trip to the Mexican resort by two days short and returned Thursday.
In a statement released earlier, he blamed the escape on his young daughters, saying he was only leading them to Mexico. After hitting the US, he apologized for the tone-deaf journey, but doubled his parenting skills.
