Sen. Ted Cruz was seen touring Greece's ancient ruins the day after deadly flooding struck several Texas counties, which have so far left 111 people dead.

The Republican senator, who was on a planned family vacation, did not return to his state until 72 hours after the deadly disaster, which his spokeswoman said was as quickly as possible.

GOP Sen. Ted Cruz was on a pre-planned vacation in Greece with his family when devastating floods hit central Texas, and he sought to travel back “as fast as humanly possible,” his office said.
