Montana airport employees called the police (photo, left) on “Cancun Ted” Cruz (R-TX) when he threw a toddler tantrum over missing his flight to Washington D.C.
It wasn’t their fault he missed the check-in window, or that replacement seats were hard to come by because Cruz was traveling on Spring Break weekend (why???).
But he yelled at the ticket window workers anyway, shouting, “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??!!” through his “Come And Take It” face mask, as if that would produce another airplane (or did he expect it to turn around and come back for him?). Read story here and here.
Ted should learn to cut his losses and quit while he’s ahead (or not too far behind). He’s better off if ticket agents don’t recognize him; it’s mighty tempting to book him on a one-way flight to Timbuktu. (They’d be doing us all a favor.)
In any case, he made it back to the Capitol in time to make an ass of himself on the first day of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearing (read that story here).
