It’s Cruz, not Brown, who seems just like the ‘full ass’

On Monday, Ted Cruz went on Twitter and referred to as Sherrod Brown a “full ass” for urging his colleagues to put on masks on the Senate flooring as a method to defend fellow senators and workers members.

Sen. Cruz threw a tantrum and accused the Ohio Democrat of sporting a masks solely as an “ostentatious signal of pretend advantage.”

That is idiotic. @SherrodBrown is being an entire ass. He wears a masks to talk—when no one is remotely close to him—as an ostentatious signal of pretend advantage.@DanSullivan_AK was over 50 ft away, presiding. Final I checked 50 ft is greater than 6 ft. https://t.co/BoIGrAV7T1

It simply so occurs that Sen. Grassley – now contaminated with COVID – was on the Senate floor when Sen. Brown was calling on his colleagues to make use of face coverings.

If anyone seems like a “full ass” after this episode, it’s Ted Cruz – a person who would reasonably expose folks to a lethal virus than put on a masks.
