nbcnews.com – By Melissa Holzberg – WASHINGTON — During an energetic speech to conservative activists Friday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called double-masking guidelines and mask ordinances at restaurants “dumb” and mocked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Cruz, a likely 2024 presidential candidate, complained in his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference that when he goes into restaurants he has to wear a mask, but can then take it off when he is seated at a table.
