A Beto O’Rourke supporter on a flight with Ted Cruz on Thursday heckled the Republican senator over an array of issues, including his response to the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
“We’re in Houston? Oh, I thought we were going to Cancun,” the passenger quipped after he noticed Cruz standing in the aisle. He was referring to the senator’s ignominious trip to the sun last year while his constituents grappled with freezing weather and power outages.
The man then sarcastically thanked Cruz for “everything you’ve done since Uvalde.”
“All those podcast episodes must have raised a lot of money for you,” he added, referring to the weekly podcast Cruz co-hosts, “The Verdict.”
The passenger posted footage of his confrontation with the senator on his Twitter account, “Beto For Everyone.” O’Rourke, Cruz’s former Democratic rival for the U.S. Senate, is now running for Texas governor.
