Texas Senator Ted Cruz snapped at reporters on Tuesday over the “wild hypocrisy” Republicans have been forced to endure by the legacy media. Cruz finally let it rip when a reporter pointed out he wasn’t wearing a mask during a press conference speaking against Democrats’ push to eliminate the filibuster, causing the Senator to call out the fact no Democrats are called out for the exact same behavior.
Fox News reports:
“And by the way, on the question of hypocrisy, you just asked, you people at the podium are speaking without masks. Just once, I’d like to see a reporter say to Joe Biden when he stands at the damn podium in the White House without a mask, ‘Mr. President, why aren’t you wearing a mask?'” Cruz said angrily. “Just once, I’d like to see you say to Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, when she stands at the podium with no mask, ‘Ms. Psaki, why don’t you have a mask?’ The questions are only directed at one side, and I got to say that the American people see the hypocrisy.”
Prior to this answer, Cruz also called out the “wild hypocrisy” on the part of President Biden and his administration regarding COVID-19 policies.
“I think there’s been wild hypocrisy from the Biden administration when it comes to COVID policies [on] mask mandates where Joe Biden rightly said we shouldn’t have mandates, [on] vaccine mandates where Joe Biden said we shouldn’t have vaccine mandates. As far as I know, everyone here has been vaccinated, double vaccinated, been boosted at some point,” Cruz said.
He added, “I do know Dr. Fauci’s been all over the map about it. He’s said yes masks, no masks, he’s said, ‘Oh, I lied to the American people because they couldn’t handle it.’ At some point, the American people ought to be able to exercise their own freedom and make their decision.”
