Ted Cruz apparently had a "Karen" moment at an airport over the weekend, where a viral video showed a visibly angry Cruz having to be calmed down by a police officer at the ticketing counter. Apparently Cruz was too late to check into his flight, and this set off a chain of events that eventually escalated to the point of an officer needing to address the Senator. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz had himself a bit of a Karen moment this past weekend when he showed up late for a flight and was denied entry onto the plane. Now there's two separate clips that have since gone viral. The first one of course is Ted Cruz getting into a verbal confrontation, I guess you would call it, with two of the desk attendants. And then the second video shows Ted Cruz having a conversation with a police officer because apparently Cruz's behavior escalated to the point and this was confirmed by the airport that they felt the need to, you know, bring in an officer just in case something happened. So take a look, you know, it's hard to discern any audio from the video. However, this is Ted Cruz getting a little testy at the airport, take a look real quick.

Now that was a public safety officer, by the way, with the airport that ended up coming and speaking with Ted Cruz and Cruz did of course end up getting on a, a later flight, still made it to his destination as he was attempting to leave Bozeman, Montana. So the question is, what the heck were you doing in Bozeman, Montana, Ted? Your state over the weekend while you were partying out in Bozeman was literally on fire. And I don't know if you've been following this story folks, but, uh, yeah, there's massive wildfires in the state of Texas right now. Ted Cruz did send out a single tweet about the wildfires on Friday, has not, as far as I've seen as of sitting here recording, has not mentioned the wildfires again. And of course just like last time, he couldn't even be bothered to stay in his own state to check on them during a time of crisis. He, he flees to Bozeman.

But hey, I guess at least it's not Cancun, right, Ted? When people show you who they are, believe them, right? That's what Ted Cruz has repeatedly done. Literally anytime Texas experiences any kind of crisis, Ted Cruz, I'm outta here. I'm, I'm gonna go party down in Cancun with my family. I'm, I'm gonna go to Montana and meet with a bunch of donors from a state I don't even represent. Oh, it doesn't matter that people back home are dying and yes, people have died in the wildfires. People did die of course, in the massive winter storm URI that hit last year and Ted Cruz is nowhere to be found. Everybody else had to pick up the slack because this man is such a selfish bastard he can't be bothered to check on his own constituents, the people of Texas who continue to send him back to Washington, DC, to do what exactly, to get on Twitter and start feuds with people that he can't possibly outwit, because he does that all the time.

Oh, to go raise money for his next campaign from out of state donors, because he seems to be doing a good job of that. But in terms of what Ted Cruz is actually doing for the state of Texas, the answer is nothing. The man is doing nothing for these people and every time they actually need him, he disappears. And every time he disappears, he makes a complete of himself. We all saw it with Cancun and now we get to see it with the Montana videos where, I guess maybe Ted Cruz overslept, maybe he didn't compensate for traffic, whatever it is. Airlines are very clear that you need to arrive exceptionally early for your flight, right? It's no longer the two hour window, but they do suggest, you know, 90 minutes prior.
