eta: It sucks the video starts with him talking to the cop, not with the events preceding that. Maybe someone can fill in details.

[blm]

1. What a d!ck.

[BlueLucy]

2. Can't hear anything or know what any of it is about nt

[2naSalit]

3. It was snowing heavily...

All morning there. I hope he has a return flight fraught with rough turbulence the whole way there.

[bluedigger]

4. I'd be pissed to be diverted to Bozeman on the way to Cancun as well.

[2naSalit]

9. Yeah, I have a very different take on why he's there.

Both Daines and fucking Gianforte live in Bozeman and they are co-conspirators of the coup.

Something's up with those pukes if assbite went all the way up there. Now I'm glad it snowed.

[Jacoby365]

19. I agree. Those were my first thoughts, too.

Also, I believe the Arizona ballots were sent to Montana by the Cyber Ninjas. What is going on in Montana?

[2naSalit]

20. Gianforte probably has them...

Locked up on his trophy ranch, either his or Daines' place, they've been business partners for decades. I'm sure they're partners in this set of crimes. It's not hunting or fishing season so there's that.

[Maru Kitteh]

30. Well, I think it's safe to say his sedentary ass

wasn't hitting the slopes on Bridger, and nobody accidently lands themselves in Montana . . . . so . . . . yeah.


I thought I smelled something vile outside earlier tonight.

[2naSalit]

31. Glad it's a...

Bit of a drive for me.

[Roland99]

5. He thought there was a place called Canadacun

[Hugin]

14. He found out the movie was...

"The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia".

[brooklynite]

6. Sorry but...

As much as people like Olbermann, I'm seeing no news stories or social media posts other than Reddit covering this story. Without any audio, I'm not going to assume there's a story here.

[2naSalit]

10. What is news for me isn't whether he was...

An asshole at the airport in Bozeman, it's that he was in Bozeman where two high flying co-conspiritors live.

[stopdiggin]

16. I'm in this corner too. Either give me a

real story, or ....

[RANDYWILDMAN]

7. Hey Texas, he is the boorish asshole you all know he is

vote that man out as soon as possible

[SoCalDavidS]

22. We're Talking About TX

He has an (R) next to his name, and that's good enough for the majority of Texans.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

28. The majority of Texans, that get their vote counted

fixed it

Do they really love this guy, does anyone believe he works for anyone but himself?

[SoCalDavidS]

29. TX Has Been Voting Red For Decades Now

The restrictions they're imposing will only solidify the hold they already have on the state.

As I said, the majority of voters in TX don't really care if he works for nobody but himself. He has an (R) next to his name, and that is enough to make them believe they're "Owning The Libs" by voting for him.

I wish it were different, but TX is not a state that's within reach of Democrats. 2020 was supposed to be close, yet President Biden lost by around 7%. That is not a state on the bubble. That's a state where the Democrats should avoid the temptation to spend money that could be better utilized elsewhere.

That's an uncomfortable reality for those who live in TX and are Democrats, but it's reality, nonetheless.

[BlackSkimmer]

8. No doubt he was all: do you know who I am???

Jerk.

I hope the story comes out.

[2naSalit]

11. The sooner he stops disgracing my state with his foul presence...

The better.

[SoCalDavidS]

23. You Need To Move Elsewhere

If you're waiting for TX to elect anybody with a (D) next to their name, to a prominent office, you're going to be waiting an awfully long time.

[2naSalit]

24. I don't live in Texas.

He's not my Senator but I bet he was visiting one from my state in Bozeman. Cruz is fouling the air here in Montana, can't wait until he leaves.

[ironflange]

27. Yeah, Bozeman is a really nice town

It hurts to see him befouling the place with his presence.

[oasis]

12. Update please someone.

Thanx in advance

[L. Coyote]

15. Ted Cruz was there to prevent first contact with the Vulcans

so Stacy Abrams wouldn't become President of Earth.

Star Trek Trivia: First contact with the Vulcans was in Bozeman in 2063.

[brooklynite]

18. There is none

Strange that none of the hundreds of other people at the airport with smartphones caught and posted the same situation.

[oasis]

25. It's Montana. Lucky we got 'em to vote for Tester. nt

[brooklynite]

26. Political allegiance shouldn't be an issue.

Pro-Cruz witnesses could be posting about how unfair the airline was being to him.

[L. Coyote]

13. Ted Cruz is still freaking out about President Abrams.

17. No Fly List Ted?

Let him take a bus out of Montana.

[Blue Owl]

21. Cruz Control? More like Out Of Control...

Ted Cruz laments angry supreme court hearings a day after angry airport fracas

Texas senator filmed becoming confrontational with airport staff after missing check-in window for flight from Bozeman, Montana

In Washington on Monday, the Texas senator Ted Cruz complained that supreme court confirmation hearings have become increasingly angry and confrontational.

In Bozeman, Montana the previous day, however, the Republican was filmed becoming angry and confrontational with airport staff and an armed police officer.

A short video, appearing to have been shot from behind a check-in desk, was posted to Reddit. It showed the masked senator remonstrating with the two staff members, both women, and the male officer. It was not possible to hear what was said.

A caption said: “Ted Cruz accosting airline employees today at BZN after missing his flight. Law enforcement had to be called when he wouldn’t calm down.”

An airport official told the Daily Mail the senator missed his check-in window for a flight and became “frustrated” as other options were limited due to spring break traffic.
