Ted Cruz Fled One Storm, but Flew Into Another
Readers criticize the Texas senator for abandoning his constituents at a critical time on the pretext of “being a good dad.”

To the Editor:
In a time of despair and suffering in Texas because of extreme winter weather, the population is enduring power outages, a lack of basic necessities, and fragile infrastructure. With such arduous times, it is only natural to look to the leaders the people elected for comfort and relief.
Senator Ted Cruz provided comfort and relief, not to the Texans he represents, of course, but to himself and his family. His selfish decision to flee the country to Mexico truly illuminates how out of touch with reality Mr. Cruz is. The lack of concern for his constituents and his state clearly highlights his self-centered mind-set.
