‘You went to Cancun’: Ted Cruz mocked for tweeting ‘America doesn’t leave Americans behind’

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) attempted to criticize the handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan by saying that "America doesn't leave Americans behind." For that, he was quickly reminded of how he fled for Cancun during a weather emergency in his state.

Cruz quote tweeted a video from CNN that was shared by the Republican National Committee late on Monday night. In the video, a reporter speaks about a Texas family who had "been going to the airport for two weeks" trying to get out of the country.

In response to the video, Cruz tweeted: "This is horrifying. And wrong. America doesn't leave Americans behind."

The Texas senator was immediately mocked for the tweet, with people online bringing up his trip to Cancun during a massive winter storm in Texas earlier this year.

Amid the backlash he received after being spotted in an airport on the way to Cancun, Cruz released a statement saying that he was accompanying his children for a trip they were taking with their friends.

All of this was brought up again in the wake of Cruz's tweet on Monday night, with "Cancun" trending on Twitter.

"True, but also… remember Cancun? Texans do. #Hypocrisy," RAICES Texas tweeted.

"Bold words from a man who left all the Americans in his state behind to vacation in Cancun," another user added.

What an idiot, see folks this is the face of stupidity in this country.

Clowns like Ted Snooze were quiet as a church mouse when Trump was moving troops out of Afghanistan. So he was trying to get a few brownie points and stepped on his d!(k.
Great idea by the Canadian Cancun Teddy. Boy, is he on top of his game or what?!!! Of course, President Cruz would immediately grant Favored Trade Nation status to Russia, but how would Russia get goods to the country of Texas? The United States would certainly prohibit Russia fly overs of its country. Boats up the Rio Grande? Possibly. Perhaps trade with Mexico; Texans would have to get used to eating lots of tacos. Bigly!!!

Texas has an enormous trade with Mexico.... Mexico has an enormous trade with both China and Russia. Seems to me you would check this out before making any comments on it.

I like Ted Cruz but he deserves to have that shovrd up his ass every time somebody thinks about it and he'll just have to live with it. Big boys own up to their stuff and they don't cry over it.
