In other words, you canвЂ™t criticize me for this horrible lapse in judgment itвЂ™s my kidsвЂ™ fault! Yes, they are 10 (Catherine) and 12 (Caroline). My team and I will continue using all our resources to keep Texans informed and safe.вЂќ We want our power back, our water on, and our homes warm. My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon. With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Like millions of Texans, our family lost heat and power too. Our homes are freezing and our lights are out. We have food lines, gas lines, and people sleeping at neighborsвЂ™ houses. The greatest state in the greatest country in the world has been without power. In a statement obtained by NBC News, Cruz said: вЂњThis has been an infuriating week for Texans. Yes, rather than taking responsibility for his decision to leave the country for greener pastures and abscond his duties as an elected official, Cruz on Thursday blamed his daughters, who are 10 and 12, for the whole thing. Because really, what do you say? If youвЂ™re Ted Cruz, apparently the answer is: My daughters made me do it. Not surprisingly, given how very, very bad it looked, some 12 hours elapsed between the time photos of Cruz and his carry-on surfaced online and when the senatorвЂ™s office released a statement explaining the situation. After he presumably thought that no one would notice heвЂ™d boarded a commercial flight to CancГєn as Texas was in the grips of a catastrophic power outage, the senatorвЂ™s little getaway had become major news, the news being that an elected official literally abandoned millions of his constituents, some of whom were freezing to death, to go on a beach vacation. On Thursday afternoon Ted CruzвЂ™s back was against the wall.
