So of course Gutierrez dressed up as "Cancún Cruz" on Halloween—complete with rolling luggage.
He posted pictures of his costume on social media along with the following caption:
"I was thinking about the scariest Halloween costume and quickly found one: Senator who flees to Cancun."
You can see his post below.

Gutierrez used his post to remind people that he is running in the 2024 election to replace Cruz in the Senate:
"All jokes aside, there is nothing scarier than Ted Cruz serving another six years in the Senate. It’s why I’m going to defeat him next November."
You can see his post below.
People loved it—and couldn't help but mock Cruz themselves.
Cruz has refused to take responsibility for his actions despite the criticisms about his ill-advised Cancún trip.
In an interview shortly after the controversy erupted with conservative radio host Dana Loesch, Cruz blamed criticism on "Trump withdrawal," implying that any and all criticism of his behavior amounted to little more than political histrionics because of former President Donald Trump's absence from the news cycle.
Cruz suggested that Trump "broke the media," accusing media outlets of merely wanting "to engage in political attacks." He claimed he went to Cancún to accompany his daughters, an apology that did not sit well with his critics either.
He insisted that his only faux pas had been simply "wanting to be a good dad," claiming he'd only accompanied them for a single night before flying back to Texas. However, Cruz’s social media accounts had not acknowledged any official travel.
