Ted Cruz has been slammed for joking that Texans should “join me in Cancun” as the state braces for a deep freeze.

“Texans, with the freeze coming, wrap your pipes, cover your plants, stay off icy roads & keep your family safe. And, if it gets too damn cold, join me in Cancun!” he wrote on X.

    Considering a lot of people are struggling just to keep up with rent/food/bills; you think they had the opprotunity to move out of Texas and start a whole new life in another state? New job, new apartment, new social supports. In a state that likely has a higher cost of living if you’re trying to flee the GOP death cult. Easy right?

    Your privileged take is almost as tone deaf as Cruz’s joke tbh.
