Just in from @TedCruz: “With school cancelled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon." #CancunCruz#CruzToCancun#Cancun
.@TedCruz statement is ambiguous on if he's returning early because of the #flyinted condemnation ("Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon").
His suitcase was very large for one overnight in #Cancun.
“People are gonna say what they’re gonna say. I’m a dad & just trying to be a good dad...I’m also a senator & working hard to fight for the state of #Texas.”
New statement from @tedcruz acknowledges he planned to stay in #Cancun thru the weekend but "I had second thoughts almost the moment I sat down on the plane..."
