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.

    I have a hard time thinking the physical location of Cruz would have saved somebody from freezing to death. As tragic as it is, the man is a politician not a space heater.

    I don’t have to defend my appreciation for dark self-deprecating humor.

      Exactly. This is like the pope making a dead baby joke, and all everyone in this thread can do is be a bummer about it.
