Not to be outdone Ted Cruz decides to take the "How stupid can you get?" challenge.
Ted Cruz blames 'illegal vaccine mandate' for Southwest cancellationsSenator Ted Cruz has blamed what he called an 'illegal vaccine mandate' for mass flight cancellations by Southwest Airlines, which left thousands of passengers stranded over the weekend.
Cruz took to Twitter on Sunday to share an article on the nearly 2,000 cancellations by the airline, writing: 'Joe Biden's illegal mask mandate at work!
'Suddenly, we're short on pilots & air traffic controllers.'
Cruz's comments came amid speculation regarding the cause of the mass cancellations, with a pilot's union blaming a 'poorly run operation' while the airline pointed to bad weather and staff being off after getting vaccinated.
