Ted Cruz suggests he will no longer wear a mask in the Capitol because he's vaccinated
CBSN
Texas Senator Ted Cruz suggested he will no longer wear a mask in the U.S. Capitol or on the Senate floor now that he's been vaccinated for COVID-19. Cruz falsely claimed that everyone working in the Senate is vaccinated, and incorrectly cited Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on masks.
"At this point I've been vaccinated. Everybody working in the Senate has been vaccinated," Cruz told CNN on Thursday while walking through the Capitol maskless. "CDC has said in small groups, particularly with people who were vaccinated don't need to wear masks," the Texas Republican added, while entering an elevator with two aides wearing masks.More Related News
