Ted Cruz Exposed to COVID 19 at CPAC – Now Quarantined
Ted Cruz has announced that he “briefly interacted” with someone at CPAC who has now tested positive for Coronavirus, so he is self quarantining here in Texas. Unfortunately, he was not in his hometown of Calgary, Alberta when he was informed of his exposure to the virus. Let’s hope he doesn’t expose any Americans to the virus while he’s here.
Build a wall around him.
Brick. Sealed air tight.
1I can only imagine that the Covid virus took one look at
2Senator Cruz and recoiled in horror. Like his own girls do
when he proffers a good night kiss.
Sorry, Texas! Really sad part is how many people Teddie Crooze may have infected before this grandstanding gesture. He has no friends in the Senate, so Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey are probably safe.
3Quarantining Republican Congress critters, ,especially His
4Sleaziness, seems like poetic justice after all their cruel and greedy behavior trying to deny millions of people health insurance. How ironic that the source might be their demonic CPAC orgy.
Please, can we make it permanent?
5But Fearful Leader says that Covid-19 is totally contained! Isn’t Ted Cruz contradicting the font of all Republican wisdom?
On a side note – one wonders how many of the CPAC attendees followed the Trump Administration’s advice to ignore the warnings. Remind me to wear hazmat gear when near anyone wearing a MAGA hat.
6The linked story quotes him as saying he self quarantined to give everyone peace of mind.
7I personally would have more peace of mind if he’d quarantine himself in that retirement center in Kirkland, Washington. He’s 5 days or so past the incubation period with no symptoms, so he shouldn’t present a threat to them.
But hey, they’ve got the most experience dealing with it of anyone in America.
So he might as well get the best help our money can buy.
I mean why take a chance? Amiright?
He could show his righteous Christianity by emptying bed pans.
No need for him to wear any P.P.E. We’ll just get Pence to pray for him.
Hell, have him emptying all the sharps bins.
Do I like Ted in a box?
8Snacking, pacing, watching Fox?
Yes I like him in his house!
If he’s quiet as a mouse.
He can wander here and there,
Around his yard, not everywhere!
The glaring sign of failure is that a US senator canNOT get tested for this disease but must “self quarantine”.
PS
9Does he define “self quarantine” to mean just his family and domestic help?
Hardly reassuring.
If Cruz is unable to be on the floor of the Senate, does that keep him from voting? Or is that a majority rules thing…
10Rules are that Senators, and Reps., must be present to vote.
But be assured if moscow mitch wants to move judicial nominee and needs the vote he will ignore history and just change the rules.
11And the coveted Dr. Seuss award for classical application of poetic wordage to topical events goes to Rick @ 8.
12And at the AIPAC conference, Pence, Betsy DeVos, Louie Gohmert, KellyAnn Conway, Matt Gaetz, and others were exposed.
13Rep Paul Gosar, that wacko dentist whose family has disowned him, is also self quarantined after coming in contact with the CPAC vector. Oh, and in his tweet Gosar called COVID-19 the “Wuhan virus”. I’m sure that wasn’t a racial slur, right? He got called out on it by many, thankfully.
14Hannah at #14 mentioned Gosar calling the virus “Wuhan virus” and asked if it’s a racial slur.
Yes. All sorts of conservatives are trying to invoke “Yellow Peril” and “immigrants bring disease” rhetoric.
15Huzzah~it’s about time.
16@James, #14,
Funny how that “yellow peril” thing doesn’t extend to iPhones and inexpensive goods sold at Walmart. When economics are involved the peril seems to dissipate…
17Ah, Rick, very clever nod to Cruz’ time-wasting
18reading of Green Eggs With Ham in the Senate.
Now he can read it at home ad nauseum.
Rick @8, that was nice. Too nice. Could you do something with Teddie Crooze in the goal with the entire NHL lined up taking slapshots? Or, something with a tackling dummy; we’re not particular. We really don’t like the guy.
19“Here are some of the other people who may have been in the green room on Thursday afternoon at the same time as the CPAC coronavirus infectee:
– Rep Louie Gohmert;
– Ronna McDaniel
– Michael Knowles
– Kay James
– KellyAnne Conway
– Betsy Devos
– Rep Matt Gaetz
– Diamond/Silk”

20G Foresight @20, if memory serves, the Diamond/Silk duo were “guests” of Donnie* recently. May the timing be favorable. As for Bitsy DeVile, she and every Republicon should be quarantined on her multiple yachts and left forever seeking docking privileges.
21For best results, CPAC members exposed to the virus should be quarantined in airtight boxes.
22Could give a crap about the health of our Cuban-Canadian Senator, why won’t any news reports tell us anything about the person doing the exposing? They’re either a dark genius or, if an actual Republican, a level of stoopid that’s novel even by today’s Trumpian standards. Either way troubadours should be writing four hour ballads about the person.
23To be fair, the incubation period, when there are no
24symptoms, can be from 1 to 14 days, so CPAC Patient
Zero may not have known he/she was ill.
