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.

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.
