    (GNB Desk): Democratic Presidential nominee for 2016 and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has blasted Senator Ted Cruz for flying with his family to Cancun, Mexico, as Texas was hit with a devastating winter storm, specifically responding to reports that the senator leaving behind their poodle Snowflake.

    Cruz, his wife and his daughters headed south of the border on Wednesday, but the dog was left alone in the unheated Houston house. 

    ‘Don’t vote for anyone you wouldn’t trust with your drug,’ Clinton tweeted Friday morning.

    At the time of publication, the tweet had been liked more than 270K times and retweeted more than 32.8K times. 

    While not explicitly naming Mr Cruz, it was clear that it was aimed at him. Ms Clinton was going off reports that Mr Cruz left his dog, Snowflake, behind as his family jetted off to Cancun, Mexico while Texans struggled to deal with power outages and freezing temperatures.

    Journalist Michael Hardy tweeted out an image in which a poodle can be seen staring out the front door of Mr Cruz’s Houston home.

    Journalist Hardy later added: “When Ted Cruz left for Mexico the power was out. His wife Heidi texted a friend it was freezing. While he was gone the power came back. So Snowflake was in the cold for part of a day, but it could well have been longer. Ted left a security guard to take care of Snowflake.”

    In a statement, the senator said that he accompanied his daughters on the trip while school was canceled for the week.

    “Our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon, “It was obviously a mistake. In hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it,” Cruz said.

    The story comes amid the ongoing crisis in Texas, where millions were left without power in freezing temperatures due to a winter storm.
