Senator Ted Cruz is being mocked online for claiming that he gets hugged “every time” he’s on a plane by staff members who oppose vaccine mandates.
“Almost without exception, every time I’m on an airplane, either the captain or a flight attendant will come up to me, will hug me and say, ‘Thank you for fighting for us,’” the Texas Republican said on Tuesday during a meeting with representatives of the People’s Convoy, a group of truckers and others railing against US Covid policies, inspired by Canada’s massive trucker protests in Ottawa.
