Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas., Was quick to reject a reporter’s request for him to wear a mask during a Senate press on Wednesday.
Cruz approached the microphones, but was interrupted before he could speak for the unidentified reporter, asking, “Would you mind putting on a mask for us?”
“Yes, when I’m talking to the TV camera, I’m not going to wear a mask,” replied Cruz. “We were all immunized, so …”
“It would make us feel better,” the reporter was heard answering.

Conservatives praised Cruz and mocked the reporter on social media.
“Like a boss”, radio host Derek Hunter reacted.
