"Cancun Ted" refers to the sleazy U.S. Senator from Texas, who in February 2021 took his family on vacation to Cancun, Mexico, while a severe winter storm left millions of his constituents in Texas without power, heat, and water.
When the going gets tough, you can count on Cancún Ted Cruz not to be there for his constituents. Instead, he will be on a beach in Mexico sipping a piña colada.
