His decision to take a luxury vacation amid a bitter icy storm that has caused widespread power outages in Texas has been vociferously slammed online.

Moreover, his attempts at justifying his actions only made matters worse, as he claimed that the decision to take a trip was simply at the behest of his daughters.

While this careless action has led to large-scale dissent online, the humor was certainly not far behind.

Within minutes of his suitcase wheeling pictures going viral, Twitter wasted no time in conjuring up a plethora of hilarious memes aimed at Sen. Cruz and his dog, Snowflake.
