Australian Chief Minister Dunks On Ted Cruz In Front Of Everyone

To get an idea about the size of the pothole that is Cruz’s ugliness we have to go back in time to the 2016 Senate. That was when Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had a sense of humor, was cult-free, and had the respect of many other senators. He joked about Cruz, CNN reported:

‘If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.’

It appears that Cruz has riled up the Chief Minister of Australia’s Northern Territory (NT), Michael Gunner now. The U.S. senator went after the NT’s vaccine policy after Gunner went on video to announce the territory’s full-blown vaccine order for employees.

Oh, “the tyranny” of it all, Cruz lamented over the vaccine mandates in the “Texas of the Pacific” that is Australia, The Guardian reported:

‘[The] Covid tyranny of their [Australia’s] current government [which he said was] disgraceful and sad. Individual liberty matters, [and Australia is the] Texas of the Pacific’

The Chief Minister was not pleased. His tweet was meant to enlighten Cruz by sharing a “few facts about COVID down here,” such as “There have been zero deaths:”

‘We don’t need your lectures, thanks mate. Nearly 70,000 Texans have tragically died from Covid. There have been zero deaths in the Territory. Did you know that?’

‘We’ve done whatever it takes to protect the Territory. That’s kept us safe and free. We have been in lockdown for just eight days in 18 months. Our businesses and school are all open. Did you know that?’

The NT Chief Minister continued, saying ‘You know nothing about us.” Then Gunner went after Cruz’s vaccination policy:

‘You know nothing about us. And if you stand against a life-saving vaccine, then you sure as hell don’t stand with Australia. I love Texas (go Longhorns), but when it comes to Covid, I’m glad we are nothing like you.’

The NT’s vaccine policy insists essential workers in education, healthcare, grocery, and other similar sectors get vaccinated. On the internet, his statement went viral among anti-vaxxers who called it governmental over-extension. That is how it fell into Cruz’s line of sight.

This is how the Twitter battle between Cruz and Australia unfolded. Senator Cruz tweeted:
