Give him a break! He's just trying to teach his kids the virtues of escapism and entitlement.

[juliepark]

Drop off his daughters? He needed a 72 hr covid test and he's making it look like a spur-of-the-moment decision. despicable.

[sarag]

Privilege at its best. No heat, no power, Mexico it is!

[sdc]

Texts were leaked, his daughters had nothing to do with it. It'll prolly come out tomorrow, but his wife's friends ratted on them.

[dollarhandshake]

He's suffering a power outage to his brain

[fvkijay]

He felt bad for Rush dying, so he took up the mantle of supervillain.

[alana]

Drop off the daughters?... their mom was with them! And why not giving the example of standing together... yes when caught, he said flying back.

[candytoo]

Apparently is wife is unable to supervise and travel alone with the children. JOKE FOLK!

"What's happening in Texas is unacceptable." Ted Cruz

[Saurophaganax]

“Horrific storms” *laughs in Canadian*

[robertselles]

He didn’t tell me I couldn’t go before he went so I don’t care.

Guess that’s a Canadian leader thing to do....

"I did the right thing because I got caught." I thought Rafael Cruz hated Mexicans. He should have taken the penthouse suite at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City...would have had a blast.

The best way a politician can help solve solve a technical problem, is to get the hell out of the way.

[michaela]

Mexico, we are not sending you our best! 🤨

[IKL]

Kind of dumb that this is controversial, he represents Texas in the federal government. He's not a mayor or governor, he's not responsible for the goings on in Texas, he's responsible for giving them a voice in Washington.

[TheJusnic]

Who gives a flying f? Its not like he did a public speach about not travelling and then went and travelled.

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Blaming his daughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[alexandrakennedy]

Another freaking hypocrite. You had to take them down to meet their friends. They're not old enough to go on their own and your wife needs you to go too ?

[pocketrocket]

Pretty sure I just seen Trudeau in the background

[jfkennedy]

Sorry Ya lost points there. Clearly his kids are privileged.. discusting!!
