Just once, I\u2019d like to see a reporter say to Joe Biden when he stands at the damn podium in the White House without a mask, \u2018Mr. President, why aren\u2019t you wearing a mask?\u2019\u201d Cruz said,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/ted-cruz-slams-podium-mask-question-biden\">according to Fox News<\/a>. \u201cJust once, I\u2019d like to see you say to Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, when she stands at the podium with no mask, \u2018Ms. Psaki, why don\u2019t you have a mask?\u2019 The questions are only directed at one side, and I got to say that the American people see the hypocrisy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruz also stated, \u201cI think there\u2019s been wild hypocrisy from the Biden administration when it comes to COVID policies [on] mask mandates where Joe Biden rightly said we shouldn\u2019t have mandates, [on] vaccine mandates where Joe Biden said we shouldn\u2019t have vaccine mandates. As far as I know, everyone here has been vaccinated, double vaccinated, been boosted at some point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In April 2021, Cruz said he would <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/ted-cruz-is-ditching-face-masks-ive-been-vaccinated\/\">no longer wear a mask<\/a> on Capitol Hill because he had been vaccinated against COVID-19 already. Cruz told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/04\/15\/politics\/ted-cruz-no-mask\/index.html\">CNN<\/a>, \u201cAt this point I\u2019ve been vaccinated.
