Social Media Drags Ted Cruz As He Delivers Water In Texas After His Cancun Trip Backlash
While the state of Texas endures a fatal winter storm, one of its controversial senators, Ted Cruz, was caught vacationing in Cancun. Following his trip’s backlash, social media drags him yet again as he shares photos of him delivering water to Texans.
On Sunday (Feb. 21), Cruz posted photos on his Twitter of him dropping off water to residents following the devastating winter storm that hit the state, hard. He captioned the post, hashtag Texas Strong. In a secondary post, he addresses power companies charging customers ridiculous rates amid the storm.
He writes, “This is WRONG. No power company should get a windfall because of a natural disaster, and Texans shouldn’t get hammered by ridiculous rate increases for last week’s energy debacle. State and local regulators should act swiftly to prevent this injustice.” However, social media wasn’t here for his efforts of getting back in the Texans’ good graces.

All of Twitter mocked these photos as a pathetic propaganda release and the definition of too little, too late. And then the Face the Nation included all of them in their opening package on the situation in Texas… https://t.co/KItnizV3Ui

Beto O'Rourke drove from El Paso to Austin yesterday to deliver water to desperate Texans. That's an 8.5 hour drive for those of you not familiar with Texas.@TedCruz did a photo op putting a case of water in a car after returning from Cancun.@JohnCornyn was golfing with Trump.
