In an effort to support the Houston Astros in its League Champion Series game, Ted Cruz arrived at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night where he was given a warm New York City welcome by fans. And by warm welcome, we mean fans flipped him off, called him racist, and reminded him of the time that Donald Trump called his wife ugly. There were also chants of “Go back to Cancun,” so really just a whole menagerie of Cruz’s greatest blunders being thrown in his face amongst a sea of boos.
You can see the crowd turn on Cruz in the video below and pay close attention to the eyes of the dude behind him. Either that’s a random baseball fan just trying to get the heck out of Dodge or a Secret Service agent who didn’t sign up to fight an entire stadium full of people from the Bronx.

Despite Cruz getting roasted by Yankee fans, the Astros surprisingly pulled off a win. Maybe their home senator getting publicly humiliated is the team’s lucky charm? Who’s to say? But they should probably make sure it happens every game now. Just strap Cruz to the bus.
In the meantime, you can check out Twitter absolutely loving Cruz’s Yankee Stadium welcome below. It’s not every day you get to see an entire stadium drag a United States senator and publicly scream his greatest failures at him. Baseball truly is America’s sport.

You know, @tedcruz usually has to pay a trained professional for that kind of abuse. https://t.co/6ESVJK3toe

This is not a great moment for the country in a bunch of different ways, and we have absolutely earned a great deal of that suffering. But honestly I don’t know that we’re quite at the “watching Ted Cruz eat behind home plate during a baseball game” level of deserving to suffer.

“You f*king loser. Racist piece of s*t. Go back to Cancun” – That’s about right for Ted Cruz . Thank you to this kind man who showered @tedcruz w the well deserved love https://t.co/IPoAKSPczH

Weird how Ted Cruz is only ever trending on Twitter for being a dick.

I guess NYC is safe enough for Ted Cruz to come and sit in the second row at Yankee Stadium. From what the GOP keeps saying about dangerous democrat run cities you would think he would’ve been killed by now. What a twat. pic.twitter.com/eYKMkLHhi0
