Ted Cruz has provoked anger from celebrities and social media users by tweeting in support of anti-vaccine basketball players with a slogan normally associated with abortion rights.
The Texas Republican senator used the hashtag #YourBodyYourChoice on Wednesday to back National Basketball Association (NBA) stars who reportedly refused their Covid shots, despite his state’s radical new anti-abortion laws.
The hashtag is traditionally used by women’s rights activists in support of abortion, but has been increasingly co-opted by anti-vaxxers and opponents of mandatory vaccination.
