During a press conference to discuss Republican Senators' upcoming visit to the Southern border, Senator Ted Cruz refused to wear a mask after a reporter asked him to put one on. "You're welcome to step away, if you'd like," the Texas Republican told the reporter.

Jen Psaki speaks at the podium every day without a mask and no one runs out of the press briefing room.

"It would make us feel better". Sums up all decision making pertaining to Democrat policy.

when he says 'it would make us feel better' I could see the annoyance in Ted's face, and I can relate.
if you are out here relying on me to get vaccinated so you feel better, don't hold your breath

[ArthurHammerr]

I never see Jen Psaki wear a mask when she talks.

[melimatzoh]

You know it’s great they didn’t even allow you to see the full press conference amazing

[kayevans]

Ole circle back Psaki doesn’t wear a mask while taking questions never heard a person ask her to wear one while avoiding answering questions or tell them she will circle back, good for you senator Cruz

I am vaccinated and I no longer will wear a mask. What’s the point in vaccinations if you have to live like we have been living for over a year. I haven’t seen my family in a year . They have been vaccinated so we are going to start visiting again and we are not waiting until the 4th of July either.

If you don’t like it follow your social distancing mandate and step back😂

[jimmyjames]

Amen. Wow, common sense. How refreshing 👍

[coryj]

You can step away if you'd like 🤣🤣🤣 Reporter was shell-shocked into absolute silence 🤣🤣🤣

[sammysabaca]

Walk away, like you walked away from the cold? While others froze and went without water?

[peteranderson]

"It would make us feel better". Give me a break

[chrisbassg]

Remember when camera "persons" in Vietnam were breathing Agent Orange for Breakfast?

[billybobdatray]

This is how Texas wants to be remembered. This is Texas at its core values. This is Texas at its best.

[cleanqueen]

I don’t hear anyone asking Jen Sucki why she doesn’t have her mask on while speaking!

[MommeeMadre]

Good. Never ever ever give a statement when you are wearing the mask.

[sophiarieber]

Ted Cruz looks like a pretty full growed man to doesn't need no snowflake tellin' him what to freakin' to go Ted!

I'm no fan of Ted but I agree with what he said and did here. That reporter likely would not tell Biden to put on a mask. Reporter could step away if they dont feel comfortable.
