Heidi Cruz, wife of Senator Ted Cruz, is reportedly “pissed” that a group text showing her inviting neighbors on her family’s last-minute jaunt to Cancún, Mexico last week were leaked to the press.
Speaking to the podcast “Ruthless” yesterday, Ted Cruz once again addressed his PR nightmare and how Heidi has been handling the fallout.
“I will say, Heidi’s pretty pissed at that,” Cruz said when asked about the group text that showed her inviting friends to the warm Mexican resort town during a global pandemic and amid “FREEZING” temperatures in Texas.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Cruz went on to say that the fact someone leaked the text shows “how ridiculously politicized and nasty” people can be.
“Here’s a suggestion: just don’t be assholes,” he continued. “Like, just, you know, treat each other as human beings have some degree, some modicum of respect.”
Oh my. @American_Bridge has texts from Heidi Cruz planning the Cancun trip.

The antigay senator went on to say that his wife was also “pissed” when photos of her in a hot pink bikini on the beach started circulating on Twitter.
“I will tell you THAT she is pissed about,” he said.
Oh, and as for Snowflake, the family’s dog that was left behind in the freezing cold house while the family was away, Cruz said the animal was never in any real danger.

“Apparently, I fed Snowflake to the wolves,” Cruz said. “He was home with a dog sitter. The heat was kind of back on. The whole thing is a bit absurd.”
A local media reported Sunday that, so far, the winter storm in Texas has resulted in 69 deaths, 44 hours of freezing, and $18 billion in damage.
But Heidi is upset about her group chat leaking. And Ted thinks it’s all “absurd.”

So Ted Cruz thinks this is all absurd and that people should not be “a$$holes” and be nice to each other? Ok, so how many examples can we find showing how ironic that statement is coming out of his mouth?

It should be a wake up call for Heidi to realize that the people she thinks like her don’t.
It SHOULD be a wake up call, but probably won’t be.

HEY TED? HOW MANY PEOPL;E DID YOU TEAR UP WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THE,M???

You’d think she’s used to dealing with “a**holes” after marrying Ted. He even let Trump mock her without standing up for her.

One commentator said that Heidi Cruz was “smart” but how smart can you be if you think doing what they did was okay when your husband is a politician? And how smart are you if you put stuff like that in a group chat? At least now she knows all of those chatters are not her friend. Surprise!!

Maybe this trip to Mexico is the wake-up call people needed to see Cruz in his true light. Doubtful but maybe there is a chance.

Trump wasn’t lying. She’s fugly, inside and out.

Heidi and her husband, Rafael deserve each other.
I see two sides to one coin; a Mexican peso.

Is is just me or does this Heidi person look like Rafael Cruz in drag??
Mehki
No you are not! I had the exact same thought. They do look alike.

The point is that she should never have gone there in the first place. She and Ted need to take a good hard look in the mirror before they start bitching about other people. She’s pissed; so are we.

So how is leaking these texts turned into doing something terrible? You can leak all my texts to the press, and no one will care because they are all pretty boring.
Perhaps if Heidi didn’t act like such a S***, she wouldn’t worry about looking. bad.

“Here’s a suggestion: just don’t be assholes,” he continued. “Like, just, you know, treat each other as human beings have some degree, some modicum of respect.”
Funny how it never occurs to him that his job as a politician involves having a modicum of respect for his constituents. That respect would have been expressed by some sort of solidarity with them, not by running off and then lying about it. Certainly not by making himself the victim (or trying but failing badly) when called on those lies.
I challenge any of the (few and dull) right wingers here to find sound grounds on which to defend him.

Like the Cruz’s or not, “sharing” screen shots of anyone’s “private” conversations is a $#!%%y thing to do you anyone.

*to anyone not you anyone

As @rand503 said above.
There would be nothing to be “Pissed” about if her texts didn’t expose what shady jerks she and her husband are.

Sort of hilarious as THEY ARE THE ASSHOLES. Two of the biggest in that state so concerned with biggnest. Now they have the biggest blackout due to the GQP and to try to blame it on others is ludicris. their lies have gotten so easy to disprove like TED’s about this trip. If he wasnt going to stay why invite his college roommate or pack such a large bag. HE SHOULD THANK BETO ANS AOC ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE FOR THEIR HELP but of course he isnt secure enough to do that

1.Is it just me or does She look like her husband in a dress and wig ? If that’s a real woman, then she is the ugliest woman I’ve seen in ages. And I’ve been all over Texas so I’ve seen some ugly Texas women. 2. Yeah it was bad enough when they covered it up, but now getting butthurt or the fact that it got shared with the press is pissing me off, bitch shouldn’t have done it in the first place, I hope they drum them out on their ugly asses, their ugly children too, they are just as guilty and should have learned some empathy and compassion at their age by now, if they haven’t then they are just as complicit.
