Ted Cruz Calls White House Bluff, Tells Them To Put Up Or Shut Up, ‘I Just Spoke With…
The administration seems shockingly cocky as their approval numbers continue to crater and a snarky attack from the White House has put them in a precarious position.
It’s proof that these people are thinned skinned and have no real plan on what to do next they weren’t expecting air crews to hold up air travel. South West crews crippled the airline who had to cancel thousands flights over a five day period. White House officials have yet to comment on the delays Amtrak has been dealing with because of “staffing issues.”
Press Secretary Jen Psaki, didn’t want to address what’s being called the “freedom flu” and claimed Cruz was lying that he had evidence that 3 out 33 flight traffic controllers showed up for their shift to protest the vaccine mandate.
.@PressSec on people who say vaccine mandates have reduced the workforce: “I know world-renowned business, travel, and health expert Senator Ted Cruz has made that point, but I wouldn’t say that is widely acknowledged or echoed by business leaders…by health experts…” pic.twitter.com/RbLq053T5M

Cruz hit back…
1/2 So now Biden WH is launching snarky insults from the WH press room.
Ok, Jen, I just spoke with a very credible & senior source in aviation who told me the following:
– a few days ago, there was a “sick out” of air traffic controllers in Jacksonville over vaccine mandates; https://t.co/6GAWfTRBL7

2/2 cont.
– As a result, out of 33 air traffic controllers ONLY THREE showed up to work;
– That resulted in cascading flight cancellations.
True or False, Jen? Or do you just do petty insults & ignore actual facts?#ThanksJoe

Balls in your court Jen, prove there wasn’t a callout.
That’s a really bold thing to say to journalists, since they can call their aviation industry sources & confirm that at Jacksonville 90%+ of air traffic controllers stayed home to protest mandates causing cascading flight cancellations.
No doubt journalists will do exactly that! https://t.co/2QxvMXt86h
