Sen. Ted Cruz Refuses Reporter’s Request To Put On A Mask
Sen. Ted Cruz held a news conference Wednesday with other Republican senators in order to discuss the crisis at the U.S southern border.
In a video of the conference, a reporter can be heard asking, “Would you mind putting a mask on for us?”
Cruz responded, “Yeah, when I’m talking to the TV camera I’m not going to wear a mask, and all of us have been immunized,” gesturing to his fellow lawmakers.
The reporter pressed further and insisted that Cruz putting on a mask would “make us feel better.”
Cruz, however, fired back, “You’re welcome to step away if you like,” and added that the “whole point of a vaccine” was so that he no longer had to wear a mask.
