Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) went off on author Steven King after King responded to Cruz’s claim that he spends a lot of time on the southern border with a Cancun joke.

King responded to Cruz’s claim that the southern border has never been this bad:

Cruz responded on Monday:

Ted Cruz is up for reelection, and the one thing he most definitely does not want to talk about is Cancun and how he fled his state as his constituents were dying during a power outage.

The problem for Sen. Cruz is that he remains unpopular in Texas. He barely won his last reelection campaign over Beto O’Rourke, leading former Rep. Colin Allred by just seven points.

Cruz has the second-highest favorable rating of any political figure in Texas at 49%. However, he also has the highest unfavorable rating at 45%. Allred is currently doing better against Cruz than Beto O’Rourke did at the same time in Cruz’s last reelection campaign, and O’Rourke only lost by two points.

Sen. Cruz is sensitive about his trip to Cancun, and he is also trying to rally his supporters with a baseless and unhinged attack against Stephen King.

The Cancun scandal will follow Cruz for the rest of his career.

Coming unglued on Twitter each time a prominent person brings it up is the opposite of a winning strategy.
