Texas Sen. Roland Gutierrez dresses as Ted Cruz for Halloween

Texas Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a San Antonio Democrat, dressed up like U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz for Halloween, and the results were, well, as scary as one might expect. Gutierrez — who earlier this year entered the primary fray to take on Cruz in 2024 — used his costume to mock the GOP lawmaker's trip to Cancun during Winter Storm Uri, a historic disaster that killed hundreds of his constituents and left millions without power. "I was thinking about the scariest Halloween costume and quickly found one: Senator who flees to Cancun," Gutierrez tweeted.  Gutierrez nailed the look, from Cruz's Texas-flag face mask to his frumpy casual wear to his black roller bag.
