American Airlines, which requires all passengers to wear masks during the duration of their flight, said it has reached out to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) after photographs emerged of the senator not wearing a mask on a plane.

A Cruz spokesperson has said that Cruz was drinking coffee and removed his mask to do so when he was photographed.

“As we do in all instances like these, we reviewed the details of the matter, and while our policy does not apply while eating or drinking, we have reached out to Sen. Cruz to affirm the importance of this policy as part of our commitment to protecting the health and safety of the traveling public,” an American Airlines spokesperson told The Hill.

A Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee operative, Hosseh Enad, tweeted a photograph of Cruz at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday on a flight and not wearing a mask.

1. I saw another picture of him mask-less sitting at the American Airlines gate.

I have no plans to fly in the near future, but if I did, AA would be off my list of carriers.

4. When did we start getting to bring our own coffee cups onto planes? I have not seen that since 911.

6. If you buy it after you go through security

then you can bring whatever you want on the plane. Also, you can bring your own empty beverage container on a plane if you fill it after you pass security.

I'm not defending him. Just stating fact.
