Ted Cruz mocked for staging ‘shameless’ #TexasStrong photo-op after fleeing storm-ravaged state for Cancun
TED Cruz has been mocked for sharing photos of himself handing out bottled water in a "shameless" photo-op just days after he jetted off to Cancun with his family.
On Saturday, the Texas senator posted several photos of himself on Twitter delivering water to residents with the hashtag #TexasStrong, as he faces fierce backlash for heading to Cancun, Mexico as Texans froze to death during a devastating winter storm.
It came after two classes at the school were forced to promptly quarantine because students attended holiday parties that led to multiple infections.

A Cruz spokesman said the senator’s “daughters plan to follow the St. John’s policy.”
