PAC slams Cruz for Cancun trip: ‘Keep his vacation forever’
A Super PAC Takes Aim at Senator Ted Cruz’s Cancun Trip During Texas Winter Storm
A super PAC dedicated to removing Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) from office has launched a captivating new advertisement criticizing his decision to vacation in Cancun during a devastating winter storm in Texas.
The Lose Cruz PAC, a recently established seven-figure super PAC by Democrats, unveiled the ad titled ”Find Your Beach” on Tuesday. The ad features an actor resembling Cruz sitting on a beach, listening to news coverage of the Texas storm.
“This morning, the humanitarian crisis in Texas is accelerating,”
the ad declares, showcasing a 2021 clip highlighting the severe weather. “Billions still without power or water, hospitals around the state pushed to their limits, and the death toll continues to rise.”
The ad concludes with Cruz symbolically throwing his phone into the sand while criticism of his trip plays in the background, accompanied by the words “Make Ted’s Vacation Permanent.”
“Senator Ted Cruz made time for a family vacation in the middle of our state’s historic winter storm,”
the ad states. “The images were everywhere today, showing the Texas senator boarding that flight to Mexico with his family. This is inexcusable, and Texas should be outraged.”
Cruz faced significant backlash for leaving his state in 2021 to go on a family vacation to Mexico amidst freezing temperatures and destructive winds that resulted in at least 210 deaths, according to the state’s comptroller.
Both Republicans and Democrats are focused on gaining or retaining Senate seats in the upcoming 2024 elections. Cruz narrowly defeated Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke in the 2018 Senate race and has since been polling as widely unpopular in his state.
The race to unseat Cruz is heating up, with several high-profile Democratic candidates entering the competition. State Sen. Roland Gutierrez joined the race in July, joining state Rep. Colin Allred.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to Cruz for comment.
