Cruz: ‘President Biden Is Wrong For Punishing Our Servicemembers Over Their Religious Freedom’

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz ripped President Joe Biden over the refusal to accommodate religious exemptions from the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, claiming he is “punishing” servicemembers.

Cruz shared the words alongside the comment that he is “pleased” that a judge issued a temporary stay in the case of a group of Navy SEALs who sued for not being allowed a religious accommodation.

“President Biden is wrong for punishing our Servicemembers over their religious freedom,” Cruz wrote.

“I am pleased to see a judge issued a stay against Biden’s authoritarian vaccine mandate,” he added.
