"Do you have any idea who I am?" Ted Cruz asks airline worker as he attempts to check in for flight
Cruz carried a suitcase bearing a sticker reading "Cancun is for cowards"
“You don’t understand. It’s very important that I get to DC, there’s a black woman trying to get a seat on the Supreme Court. I’ve got to stop her. I alone can fix it.”
“I have to say that sounds very delusional sir. I’m sorry, you’re far too late for check-in. That flight is about to taxi for takeoff. We can get you on a flight later today.”
“Well stop that plane. Stopping things is easy. I do it all the time. Hell sweetie, I do it for a living. I’m a ‘stopper’. Do you have any idea who I am?”
“Well, at the moment I’d say you’re the man holding up this line and obstructing me and my work. And you’re the man who is about to be escorted out of the airport by the TSA. You’re also the man who is about to earn a position on the No Fly list. And if you don’t get out of this very long line of people, you are a man who is about to be arrested.”
She motions to a nearby police officer and points to Cruz.
“What are you doing? I’m not dangerous. I just have to get back to DC. She must be stopped. You’re obstructing me and my mission.”
It was at this point a police officer pulled his gun and forced Cruz out of the line.
