Confirmed: Ted Cruz Flew to Cancun Amid Texas Power Disaster

Last updated on February 20th, 2021 at 04:04 am

A source has confirmed to Fox News that Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) flew to Cancun for a family getaway as his state contends with the consequences of a winter storm that has left millions without electricity or running water.

“The photos speak for themselves,” the source said, referring to photos that circulated on social media showing Cruz disembarking a plane with other passengers.

Former MSNBC anchor David Shuster also confirmed that Cruz and his family flew to Cancun to spend “a few days at a resort they’ve visited before.”

“Cruz seems to believe there isn’t much for him to do in Texas for the millions of fellow Texans who remain without electricity/water and are literally freezing,” Shuster wrote.

Cruz has been criticized by celebrities, politicians, members of the media, and the general public alike.

Cruz’s social media accounts had not acknowledged any official travel.

Texas lawmakers have called for an inquiry into the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages electric power for more than 26 million customers.

The agency “is restoring load as fast as we can in a stable manner,” the council said in a statement on Tuesday. “Generating units across fuel types continue to struggle with frigid temperatures.”

Governor Greg Abbott has blamed Texas’s current power disaster on the Green New Deal, which has yet to be implemented.

Abbott blamed solar energy and wind turbines for power outages in his state, which has been battered by a winter storm that has left countless residents without water or electricity.

“This shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America,” Abbott told Fox News personality Sean Hannity during an appearance Tuesday evening. “Our wind and our solar got shut down, and they were collectively more than 10 percent of our power grid, and that thrust Texas into a situation where it was lacking power on a statewide basis. … It just shows that fossil fuel is necessary.”

In fact, the majority of Texas’s energy losses are the result of a failure to winterize power-generating systems.
