Sen. Ted Cruz met with a small group of truckers protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates around Washington and told an anecdote that reeked of bullshit.

Cruz claimed:

“Almost without exception, every time I’m on an airplane, either the captain or a flight attendant will come up to me, will hug me and say, ‘Thank you for fighting for us.”

On the scale of huggableness with puppies, kittens and Jennifer Lawrence being at the top and cockroaches, porcupines and Putin being at the bottom, I’d put the repulsive senator from Texas between porcupines and Putin.

Politicians are as huggable as used car salespeople and repo men, and Cruz is the least huggable politician. Here’s Al Franken’s quote about the execrable Cruz:

 “Here’s the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz, I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.”

Nobody, and I mean nobody has ever had the slightest desire to hug Cruz. If he invented a cure for cancer and COVID, at the most he would get a pat on the back from me, but I wouldn’t hug the loathsome creature from the pit of hell.

Even Cruz’s family practices social distancing whenever he’s home with his family, who can forget the viral moment when his daughter Caroline dodged his embrace on the campaign trail? Screw you, you lying sack of shit. I repeat, nobody and I mean nobody wants to give you a hug.
