Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, in an apparent moment of frustration, slammed a reporter for questioning him about not wearing a COVID-19 mask.

The incident occurred Tuesday when Cruz was discussing the Democrats’ ongoing attempt to eliminate the legislative filibuster and the reporter asked him about the “glaring visual” of most of the members of the media wearing masks indoors and most of the assembled lawmakers without them.

“Just once, I’d like to see a reporter say to [President] Joe Biden when he stands at a damn podium in the White House without a mask, ‘Mr. President, why aren’t you wearing a mask?'” said Cruz, R) slammed his fists on a podium.
