A form of "do you know who I am"???? Ted Cruz....🤮

Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) got into a confrontation with employees of a Montana airport which grew so heated that law enforcement had to get involved, a new video showed on Sunday.

Cruz was spotted at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport shortly after noon on Sunday, apparently irritated by missing his flight, according to the Reddit user who first shared the short clip.

The user who posted the video claimed Cruz said some form of 'Do you know who I am?'

A representative for the airport confirmed to DailyMail.com that a 'frustrated' Cruz had missed the check-in window for his flight, and that re-booking options were 'limited out of Bozeman due to Spring Break.'

Cruz managed to rebook and depart later that evening, Bozeman airport deputy director Scott Humphrey said.

It's not clear what Cruz or the airport employees were saying in the short clip. The Texas Republican had been wearing a mask, in compliance with federal COVID-19 guidelines.

and handed the cop his business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator & reportedly asked "What do you think of that?"

The cop didn't think much of it, as he arrested Craig.


It was rumored that during the 2008 Republican convention in St. Paul airport personnel were kept busy removing signs identifying that bathroom as the "Larry Craig Memorial Bathroom".

A law enforcement officer was called step in Sunday after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) got into a heated argument with airline attendees at an airport in Bozeman, Mont., on Sunday, The Daily Mail reported.

A video posted to Reddit shows the senator engaged in conversation with two representatives at the United Airlines desk after he reportedly missed the check-in window for his flight.

A law enforcement officer was then sent to help handle the situation, according to Scott Humphrey, a deputy director of Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.

"One of our Public Safety Officers (PSO) was in the ticket lobby and was asked to assist with a frustrated passenger at the United ticket counter (which is not unusual)," Humphrey told The Daily Mail. "The passenger had missed the check-in window for his flight and re-booking options were limited out of Bozeman due to Spring Break."

His Montana mistress, they had an argument that morning, and that's why he was late checking in and so grouchy. No idea if it's true, but his little dog will know... The pets in the house are always the first to know of an affair... They sense the deception, and foreign scents.
