On Wednesday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz managed to embarrass himself as he attempted to attack a Biden administration official with a lie.
“John Kerry has a private jet that has flown dozens of times this past year all around the country,” Cruz said, as he railed against Biden’s climate change initiative.
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a private jet. I don’t believe any of the people on this stage have their own private jet,” Cruz said of his fellow Republicans.
That’s when somebody in the audience yelled that Republican Sen. Rob Portman, who was on stage with Cruz, has a private jet.
