That's not even the issue. He was criticized because he went to Mexico while there was a power emergency in Texas due to the storms. His job is to represent Texas at the federal level, which has nothing to do with what was going on at the time. Had he been the mayor of Texas going to Mexico at that time, there would have been an issue. People need to learn how their government works. As for "colleagues from other states...working their butts off raising funds for relief efforts..." seriously? Again, that's not how the government works. Any fundraising was going to re-election coffers. They use taxpayer money for relief efforts and if the senate wasn't in session, then he could have been preparing or reviewing documents, which he can do in Mexico or even on the plane ride there. The optics aren't great, but if people understood how the system worked, they would see that it wasn't that big of a deal, either.
