Ted Cruz was hit with a beer can while riding on a float in a parade. The parade was to celebrate the Houston Astros World Series win. The can of beer hit Cruz in the neck and chest. The suspect accused of throwing the beer can has been arrested.
A man was arrested Monday for allegedly throwing a beer can at Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, during a victory parade to celebrate the Houston Astros, which won the World Series over the weekend.
The Houston Police Department said it took a 33-year-old man into custody over the incident. Video footage shows Cruz on a parade float when a beer can narrowly misses his face and hits his hand as he attempts to block the projectile.
Cruz was struck in the “chest/neck area” but did not require any medical attention, police said. The unidentified suspect will face assault charges, authorities said.

Democrats and Republicans are both worried about the uptick in violence in this country and also against politicians and lawmakers. Just last month Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul was attacked in his home by a man with a hammer. They’re all hoping that the violence will calm down once the midterms are over.
Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell condemned the incident on Twitter.
“Don’t throw beer or commit violence against someone you politically disagree with. We are a country of voting not violence,” he wrote.
I think he is right in his statement above. Go out tomorrow and vote, it is so important and will make all the difference!
