Ted Cruz 'stands with' unvaccinated Andrew Wiggins, tells LeBron James to boycott Warriors games

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a Grayson Allen look-alike who once played a game of one-on-one against Jimmy Kimmel for two hours, has waded into the NBA's COVID-19 vaccination status discourse.

In a Wednesday Twitter thread, the Republican senator — who is vaccinated himself — tweeted that he "stands with" a spate of reportedly unvaccinated NBA players, including Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins. For good measure, the senator added the hashtag, "#YourBodyYourChoice," seemingly a bit of trolling given his anti-abortion views.

Cruz went on to quote Los Angles Lakers forward LeBron James — also vaccinated — who said he was initially skeptical of receiving the vaccine.
