Social media users, including politicians, have accused Texas senator Ted Cruz of traveling to Cancun as a huge winter storm decimates his state.
On Thursday, photos began circulating on Twitter alleging that the senator was spotted at an airport and then on an airplane en route to Mexico.
Senator Cruz’s offices in Texas and Washington DC did not return requests for comment and The Independent could not verify the identity of the individual that appears in the photographs or when they were taken.
A Republican source has reportedly confirmed to Fox News that the accusations regarding the trip are true, having reportedly told the broadcaster: “The photos speak for themselves.”
