Ted Cruz may have tried to justify his controversial Cancun trip, but that has not stopped his constituents from tweeting pictures of their frozen homes and empty supermarkets at him.
Mr Cruz arrived back in Houston on Thursday after jetting to Mexico with his family the day before as his home state was paralysed by a historic winter storm.
Millions were at one point left without power, heat and water, and Texans have been sure to let their senator know about it.
Mr Cruz admitted that his trip “was obviously a mistake” when he returned to his Texas home, as protestors stood outside and chanted for him to resign.
But it may be hard for the politician to get any credit for his defence from those struggling in the frigid conditions.
“My house....but I’m glad Ted Cruz is warm and toasty in Cancun,” tweeted @alleaharris.

“I’m standing in our Central Austin kitchen - our olive oil and liquid dish soap have frozen. Froze inside my house. No power since early Sunday am, no water since yesterday. Ted Cruz is in Mexico,” wrote @tbondartist.

“Hey Ted Cruz I’ve been without power for 4 days and I can’t afford food because you don’t make money taking care of my grandfather full time. Not that there is any food at HEB (the only disaster response Texans can actually count on),” said @trulybliss.
