Ted Cruz Won’t Wear a Mask on Senate Floor

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told CNN he is eschewing a face mask on the Senate floor now that he’s been vaccinated.

Said Cruz, while flanked by masked aides: “At this point I’ve been vaccinated. Everybody working in the Senate has been vaccinated.”

Cruz’s claim of near-complete vaccination is incorrect: Forbes reports three senators have refused the vaccine: Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY), Mike Braun (R-IN), and Ron Johnson (R-WI).
