Leaked Texts Show Ted Cruz's Wife Inviting Friends To Mexico | 22 Words

Following the anger and controversy surrounding Ted Cruz's trip to Cancun during the snowstorm crisis in Texas, you'd be forgiven for thinking that he is currently one of the most hated people in America.

But now, leaked text messages have landed his wife, Heidi, in seriously hot water...


And, as a result, she could very well be contending with her husband for the unsavory title.

Here's the full story...

Now, the people of Texas really aren't happy with Sen. Ted Cruz at the moment.

Since he fled snow-stricken Texas to sun-soaked Cancun earlier this week, people have been left feeling both furious and let down by the Republican Senator.

The winter storm that has been wreaking havoc across many southern U.S states is now worse than ever...

Getty

And Texas is the worst affected.

Due to the usually warm state being completely unprepared for below-freezing temperatures, thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes...

Getty

And the addition of heavy snowstorms has left the state completely powerless in most areas.

Shockingly so, at least twenty-four deaths have been reported so far...

​And as temperatures continue to fall, this number is set to rise.

Texans are doing their best to push through this difficult period...

But with many suffering from a loss of power, electricity, and hot running water, they have been forced to make do with what they've got.

People have been taking to social media to share some dreadful new living situations during the unbearable temperatures...

Including this Twitter user whose fan had literally frozen to the ceiling and had icicles dangling down from it.

President Biden declared a state of emergency in Texas last week...

And ordered federal assistance from the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency to supplement local response efforts.

Who knows how long this nightmare will last...

But things continue to get worse.

So, it is hardly surprising that people were utterly outraged to hear of the actions of Texan Senator Ted Cruz.

Getty

Instead of staying in the state and working hard to help his people, it was reported earlier this week that the Republican Senator decided to pack up his bags and flee to sun-soaked Cancun in Mexico.

Of course, this didn't sit well with Texas' residents...

Who are currently living and struggling in below-freezing conditions.

Now, Cruz was spotted in a Houston airport with his wife and daughters queuing for a United Airlines flight earlier this week.

It is strongly believed by the person who took the pictures that the Senator boarded a flight that departed at 4.44 pm and landed in Cancun at 7.52 pm.

The Texas Democratic Party quickly called on Cruz to resign.

"Ted Cruz jetting off to Mexico while Texans remain dying in the cold isn't surprising but it is deeply disturbing and disappointing," Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said.

"Cruz is emblematic of what the Texas Republican Party and its leaders have become: weak, corrupt, inept, and self-serving politicians who don't give a damn about the people they were elected to represent. They were elected by the people but have no interest or intent of doing their jobs."

Cruz hastily backtracked following the outrage...

Cruz is now back in Texas...

And in a very awkward statement to ABC News, the Senator said his travels were "obviously a mistake" and "in hindsight, I wouldn't have done it."

Of course, he failed to issue any form of apology to the people of Texas who are continuing to suffer.

"The moment I sat on that plane I really began second-guessing that decision."

"It had been my intention to work remotely, to be on the phone and to be on the internet... But I needed to be here."

But now, just when we thought the heat couldn't get any hotter for Cruz...

Getty

His wife, Heidi Cruz, has thrown herself - somewhat accidentally - into the scandal with some leaked text messages.

In text messages obtained by The New York Times, Heidi told friends that her family's house was "FREEZING"...

Getty

And invited them to come to Cancun and stay at the Ritz-Carlton with her family.

In the messages, she informed her friends of the price of the rooms...

Getty

As well as mentioning that the hotel has "great security."

Heidi is yet to address the incriminating messages.
