Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) grilled the boss of United Airlines about his decision to enforce COVID-19 vaccine mandates on all United employees during a meeting of the United States Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on Dec. 15.

Cruz praised two Texas-based carriers, American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, calling them “exemplary” over vaccine mandates and not terminating employees who refused to get shots.
