Current Events > Cancun Cruz gets flipped off, booed at Yankees/Astros game

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tx., was flipped off by fans at New York's Yankee stadium as he attended the game to show support for the Houston Astros against the New York Yankees.
The Astros won the game to become the American League Champions Sunday night. However, Ted Cruz witnessed an unprecedented moment when he took some Ls by several spectators at the stadium.
Incidentally, booing a politician at a public gathering is not uncommon any more. Recently, FLOTUS Jill Biden was hooted down at an Eagles game. Cruz's detractors went a step ahead and flipped a bird at him in order to publicly humiliate him, according to photos accessed by NY Post.
In the now-viral photos, the Texan Senator got a Bronx welcome after at least three people flipped a bird at him. The photos showed Cruz waving at the fans when the three men - seen near the politico - showed him the middle finger. Another person was seen showing a thumbs down at the waving Senator, reported FanSided.
Prior to this embarrassment, Cruz posted a selfie from the stadium with "#GoStros" in the caption. At one point, he left fans wondering as to whose side he was on. It happened when Astros superstar Jose Altuve struck out. While Yankees fans rejoiced, many couldn't make sense of Cruz breaking into applause.
"Ted Cruz is so stupid and doesn't even know the team he's at Yankee Stadium to see that he applauded when Altuve stuck out," read a tweet. "You actually clapped when Altuve struck out. You really do shame Texas," tweeted another.
People from Cruz's home state also joined in on the banter and said he got what he deserved.
"At a Yankee's baseball game today Ted Cruz was booed by the crowd. Many flipped him the bird. My favorite is when someone in the crowd yelled at Cruz 'You racist piece of s--t' and I remembered why I love New York City so much," a tweet read.
In another video, someone from the crowd yelled "you f--king loser," "racist piece of s--t," and "go back to Cancun" at the Senator. A Twitter user wrote, "As a Texan, I thank the people of NYC for giving him the proper greeting."
"This Native Texan, Astros Fan, cannot stand Ted Cruz! He's a disgrace to Texas & America! Get his sorry As- outta there! He's bad luck #TedCruzSux #TedCruzIsATraitor #GoStros," tweeted another.
This development has come days after Cruz was slammed by social media for targeting President Biden over inflation in the country.

Ted Cruz witnessed an unprecedented moment when he took some Ls by several spectators at the stadium.

I don't think it's an L for him, though. His constituents typically don't like New Yorkers, so Cruz going there, being booed and flipped off, then having his team win the baseball game seems like a badge of honor for him.

Also, is it really unprecedented? The article literally says politicians get booed all the time at sporting events. Kind of a weird article.

Sen. Rafael Cruz, R-Tx

Except that he cheered an Astro striking out

Could have been applauding the effort. Y'all really care about how he spectates a baseball game?

As long as he's able to watch a baseball game he has more freedom than he deserves.

How much respect can you have for a man that sucks up to someone just after he talked trash about his wife?

This is the kind of shit that keeps the climate so hostile, you understand that, right?

Fuck Ted Cruz

He sucks up and grovels before the right people. Even if he is personally unpopular, he is acknowledged as an ally of the Republican party and its goals.

And just Texan pride. Texans will support him just cause he is Texan.
