Ted Cruz praises men in NBA for refusing vaccines while he rejects women's right to abortions

No stranger to wildly contradictory political stances, Sen. Ted Cruz staked yet another one on Wednesday — this time involving body autonomy.

On Twitter, the Texas' fully vaccinated junior senator heaped praise on male NBA players who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19, saying he stood with anti-vax players Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal and others. He stamped his tweet with the hashtag #YourBodyYourChoice just to let us know he meant it.

Yet, that same day, the Republican defended his home state's restrictive new abortion law, which bans women from seeing the procedure before most are even aware they're pregnant. Let's roll the tape.

“What this is really about is trying to demonize Texas and trying to demagogue on the question of life,” Cruz said at the hearing. “Texas made a perfectly reasonable decision to protect life."

4. Gov. Abbott is actively trying to spread the disease and Cruz is helping him too.

In 2022 we need to do 3 things:

* Run on what a good job Biden and the Dems are doing. They work to help people and the GOP works to help the rich.

* Hang the piss poor response to the C-19 pandemic around the GOP's neck

* Hang the criminal con man traitor around the GOP's neck too.
