After Ted Cruz’s ‘Flight of Shame,’ It Turns Out He is Exonerated by… Politico
It was as if Ted Cruz had out of nowhere become the Governor of Texas.
The Texas senator had gotten his family the hell out of dodge and settled his kids in a safe place at a resort in Cancun. This caused anxiety to people who want Cruz and his family to be in constant suffering. Always. Forever.

It was a completely suitable sentiment by Cruz as no parent would want their kids to suffer for its own sake. And all that just to pacify a bloodthirsty horde that has only one never-ending desire, to get back on Republicans and normal Americans who challenge them.
Nonetheless, the usual suspects in the lamestream news media occupied the Internet with breathless reports apparently baffled with how the senator could so ruthlessly and mercilessly abandon Texans in the extreme cold.
They presented a video of his flight:

They followed him at the airport:

They behaved like all of the sudden Ted Cruz had become the “most interesting man in the world.”
The criticism was severe and hysterical. Its purpose was fulfilled.
It distracted the American public from much more significant events, such as appointing a complete partisan hack for a general by Nancy Pelosi, the downward spiraling Cuomo and Newsom administrations, and the lies and the inadequate communication on the pandemic from Joe Biden.
This criticism is also coming from the same media that is uninterested when Joe Biden plays Mario Kart with his daughter over President’s Day weekend, and the vice president takes calls with heads of state in the meantime.
Nevertheless, it humiliates a senator who tries to get his children away from pointless suffering? No one should buy this sham.
But now, even Politico confesses that the whole thing was a charade. This comes through the National Pulse’s editor Raheem Kassam:
“In Cruz’s defense, the situation in Texas was much improved Thursday, through the big concern went from power outages to water safety, per the AP: ‘In Texas on Thursday, about 325,000 homes and businesses remained without power, down from about 3 million a day earlier, though utility officials said limited rolling blackouts were still possible.”

Here’s the kicker, though.
“Also in Cruz’s defense, The Texas Tribune notes that Cruz and his Texas colleague John Cornyn had requested and received a federal disaster declaration, which is the main thing a senator is good for at this stage (though other electeds are doing a lot more).”
"It was obviously a mistake. In hindsight, I wouldn't have done it. I was trying to be a Dad," Sen. Ted Cruz says after receiving criticism for flying to Mexico with his family during a major winter storm in Texas. pic.twitter.com/y8x22DxTgA

Yet, Senator Cruz apologized. “I was trying to be a Dad,” he said.
Now it is clear. He shouldn’t have.
