Democrats thought they had Texas Senator Ted Cruz in a compromising situation. But it turned out to be nothing more than dirty politics.
The picture of Texas Senator Ted Cruz not wearing a mask while he was on a plane Sunday now has an explanation. He was drinking coffee.
Cruz found himself in some hot water with American Airlines after the picture was posted by a Democratic Congressional staffer, Hosseh Enad. In fact the airline reminded Cruz about their mask policy.
But, as luck would have it Cruz was also spotted with a mask before he got the cup of coffee that would explain why he took the mask off.
"To help promote safety, Senator Cruz wears a mask when traveling, and practices social distancing where possible. Consistent with airline policy, he temporarily removes the mask while eating or drinking,” a Cruz spokesperson told The Hill.
