Ted Cruz slams fellow senator as a 'complete ass' over wearing mask [View all]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called a Democratic senator a "complete ass" for asking that fellow lawmakers wear masks while in the chamber.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) had asked Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) to wear a mask while presiding over the Senate on Monday.

While Cruz argued that Sullivan was about 50 feet from Brown, and therefore didn't need to wear a mask, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health authorities recommend that people use face coverings when in public indoor spaces and workspaces regardless of distance.

"This is idiotic," Cruz tweeted Monday night, adding that Brown "is being a complete ass. He wears a mask to speak - when nobody is remotely near him - as an ostentatious sign of fake virtue."

Senator Cruz knows all about ass since he's always kissing Trump's.
