Cruz Swats Away Reporter's Request For Him To Wear A Mask: 'You’re Welcome To Step Away If You’d Like'
Fox News ^ | 03.25.2021 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas., was quick to dismiss a reporter's request that he wear a mask during a Senate presser on Wednesday.

Cruz stepped up to the microphones, but was stopped before he could speak by the unidentified reporter asking, "Would you mind putting on a mask for us?"

"Yeah, when I’m talking to the TV camera, I’m not going to wear a mask," Cruz responded. "All of us have been immunized, so..."

"It’d make us feel better," the reporter is heard replying.

"You’re welcome to step away if you’d like," Cruz said before chuckling. "The whole point of the vaccine -- CDC guidance is what we're following."

Conservatives praised Cruz and mocked the reporter on social media.

"Like a boss," radio host Derek Hunter reacted.

Nice, I just got one from fakemaskusa.com. It’s made of cloth mesh. Completely useless, just like all the rest of them.

One thing (among so many other things) I find troubling about this whole thing is just how quickly, even eagerly, so many young people embraced the rules of masking up, distancing, staying home, etc.

The same kids who routinely skipped school, lied about having their homework, broke curfews at home, lied to their parents about where they were going, and so on, suddenly are Obedient Model Citizens, wearing their masks and demanding that everyone around them, including people much older than them, wear masks as well.

I don’t need a flipping lecture - on anything - from someone who whines about their feelings, can’t decide which bathroom to use, and moans about their whiteness while crying about how black lives do so matter.

I want my America back.

So true...It’s the younger ones that give up control of their lives so easily

“Was his name Karen?”

...that’s funny. For some reason I thought the name used for whiners was Nancy. So yes, his name was Karen.

You know that a Corona virus is a cold virus, right? One of the reasons we can’t cure or vaccinate against a cold is that the viruses (there is more that one type) mutate too quickly.

Wow - over a year into this and you still haven't got a clue.

Most common "colds" are from rhinoviruses of which there are over 140. Maybe 10% of colds are from coroniviruses of which there were 18. They do not mutate in the manner like the influenza virus.

Was the reporter wearing a mask? Problem solved if they believe magic masks work. Was the reporter 6’ away? Problem solved if you believe in the magic measurement. Does the government injection work? Did the reporter offer up their arm for the magic injection that only maybe has benefits? Problem solved! Frightened little leftist reporter or just trying to make a little political statement?

Or the ever popular “Mary”

Whenever anyone wearing a face diaper talks to me or barks commands I repeatedly respond, “What? What did you say?”. Eventually they get frustrated and go away.

I have discovered that such people seek to be miserable and the least I can do is accommodate them ;’}

Should have said “Well Karen, you are quite welcome to leave the room if it makes you uncomfortable”.

Yep. I go into places where masks are not required and many times I am the only one without a mask on. It looks like the conditioning took for the most part.

I've noticed the same thing. At a local bar, karens are still wearing the mask to walk to their table, or when they go to the restroom. They have been thoroughly conditioned.

Central headquarters strictly forbids me from discussing any of my activities on this planet outside the typical and reasonable lifespan of one of its indigenous ruling species.

So I have to say, “no”.

That post was a bit of a slip up...
