Out-of-touch elitist fraudster Dan Rather tries and fails to own Ted Cruz over vaccine passports

It’s safe to say that GOP Sen. Ted Cruz is not a fan of the idea of vaccine passports.

"We should have no COVID mandates," says @SenTedCruz. "We shouldn't step into the regime where the government says show us your papers if you want to do the basic activities of life." pic.twitter.com/FOBnJymWAj

Vaccine passports, like what New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is unveiling, do seem like they could be fraught with problems, not the least of which is disenfranchising poor people and minorities.

Which we guess makes it safe to say that Dan Rather doesn’t care about poor people or minorities:

Don't you have to show your papers to get on a flight to Cancun, and check into a luxury hotel? https://t.co/2ZxEzP5OUS

Poor people don’t get to stay in luxury hotels in Cancun, Dan.

Yes, because everyone should face the same level of scrutiny when attending school/church/work as they do when *traveling internationally.* https://t.co/PM0lVSEKZS

Cancun = International travel.
Luxury hotel = something only rich people do.

These bear as much similarity to going to @Walmart as a cannonball does to Jackfruit.

Dan Rather is an out-of-touch coastie. https://t.co/ekkAm70gAP

Also, the irony of Dan Rather talking about showing one’s papers isn’t lost on us.
