A new video from Reddit shows Senator Ted Cruz unleashing anger on a couple of airport employees after he faced complications with a flight. According to Business Insider, the situation was so volatile that local police got involved.
The video shows Cruz visibly angry with a United Airlines employee with his cellphone in hand; however, it's hard to hear what the senator is saying. Scott Humphrey, deputy director of Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, where the event took place, later released a statement that read, "One of our Public Safety Officers (PSO) was in the ticket lobby and was asked to assist with a frustrated passenger at the United ticket counter (which is not unusual)."
Humphrey continued, "The passenger had missed the check-in window for his flight, and rebooking options were limited out of Bozeman due to Spring Break."
"Once travel options were explained to the passenger, he was rebooked and departed Bozeman later that evening. Our PSO didn't realize he was dealing with Senator Cruz until after the fact. If you need more information, please contact United Airlines," Humphrey's statement concluded (via the Daily Mail).
It's unknown why Senator Cruz was in Bozeman, Montana, but he could have been fundraising, as it's a GOP hotspot.
