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.

Beast reported that while rescue teams searched floodwaters in Texas, Cruz remained in Greece, continuing to sightsee.
