Ted Cruz defended a parent's freedom of speech when using a Nazi salute at a Michigan school board meeting with a straight face. The Nazi salute was in protest of children required to wear masks in school.
Ted Cruz, the same guy who abandoned freezing Texas during a state-wide power failure instead for sunny, warm Cancun, said, straight-faced in his defense, "I, like any good father, did it for my children."
Again with a straight face, he's defending the Nazi salute.
