Ted Cruz didn't flee Texas to get out of hot water. Congress was in recess (during which there was little that he, a Senator, could do about the problem in Texas other than waste valuable resources) and the trip to Cancun had already been planned, though he does admit that the vacation was poorly timed. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, was silent and absent during the California Wildfires. As for the Democrats, Biden's a demented crook who's been breaking his promises since day one, AOC's "charity" is nothing but a PR stunt, and Beto is posing for photo-ops.
