I’m sure some will complain but why is Cruz or any other politician on a float for a championship team? I can understand being at the podium with a key to the city or some sort of thing like that but why should a politician get any of the glory for a team winning?

A woman bit in Detroit. Another one choked in New York. And a beer thrown at a US senator. All done by Democrats. Guess Bidens call civility has worked.

And what kind of attacker?
Strangely quiet as if the media and cops are hiding something. As always.

Probably already getting out a statement “He acted alone. He has no ties to foreign terrorism.”

The idiot who threw the can should be charged. He could have caused bodily harm to whomever it hit.

I remember when the Red Sox did their parade on Boston, fans were throwing beer at the players, who would catch them and drink them. It was a friendly gesture.

Had it been a hammer and not a can, I’m sure the main stream media would have been all over it.

Assuming, hoping he wasn’t hurt, it must have been a ‘light’ beer.

Several Google articles say Cruz was unpopular, being booed, it was an idea made in Hell for him to appear, called him a junior senator and one said a beer can was “tossed in the direction of where Cruz was.” Sounds gentle after being forced to allow Cruz to go past./S

Did I mention lately I loathe and despise the Leftist journalists, personally?

an unidentified man, aged 33

If he's 'unidentified' how'd they know he's 33? Or is there some other identifier that shall not be named?

Joke:
Bill Clinton was in a bar when someone
threw a glass of beer at him, but, ducking
down, he dodged the draft.
