Sen. Ted Cruz remained unruffled at Los Angeles International Airport when he found himself surrounded by rude, chanting liberals.
The casually dressed Texas Republican was waiting in the airport Sunday when he was recognized by angry immigration protesters who began to berate him over the issues at the southern U.S. border.

In video footage, Cruz does not appear to get angry but allows the crowd to converge, yelling different phrases and pulling out their cell phone cameras to document his every move. Cruz occasionally shook his head but appeared unfazed as he occasionally smiled.
“Americans will not be silenced,” one protester shouted, prompting a group effort of chanting “free the children!”
Amid the din, it seemed there was a fan who braved the crowd to get a photo with the senator. But even them the “tolerant” liberals attempted to block the photo by rudely stepping in front of Cruz. The man taking the photo seemed to briefly yell at those who tried to ruin the photo-op.
“He’s with his family at the airport. Come on,” Ainsley Earhardt reacted on “Fox & Friends” Tuesday, giving Cruz credit for the way he handled the situation without escalating it.

“I wonder how many people there, chanting extemporaneously, have an answer to 65,000 unaccompanied minors who come through the border?” co-host Brian Kilmeade asked.
“I wonder how many people at that airport waiting for their $500 or $5,000 flight know what to do with 130,000 people storming a border,” he said, adding that “it’s easy to sit back and judge.”
Cruz exuded civility before in the face of protesters who accosted him at the airport over his support of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Cruz and his wife were forced to leave a Washington, D.C. restaurant last September when a group protesting over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh shouted as the couple entered the restaurant and approached their table, repeatedly shouting, “We believe survivors!”
The Texas senator has repeatedly shown restraint in the face of harassment and was applauded for his cool demeanor during Monday’s incident in Los Angeles. Twitter users were sure to call out the disrespectful grandstanding by protesters.

.@tedcruz was cool, calm, and collect, while handling this with class.
Can you imagine what would’ve happened if someone did this to a member of the “squad”?
They would’ve immediately lashed out claiming racism, sexism, etc.

That’s all they know. Whether it’s yelling at their kids, their neighbors, their family, their law enforcement, their schools, you name it. And we are supposed to get on board with that? NEVER. And they STILL don’t get it.

Way better than i would have been for sure. Especially if my kids were around.

This is how cowardly Democrats act. Marxists Dems can’t win on the issues and don’t want to have a civilized discussion with U.S. Sen Ted Cruz (TX) so they pathetically yell at him, which is how typical socialists Democrats act, spastic emotionalism, no brains. God help America https://t.co/frXhN1mDfQ

Looks like he enjoyed it more than a little, lol. Love that grin.

I #standwithcruz bc Cruz stands for the rights of all Americans. That used to be an American value, not a conservative one.
