Who Actually Is Ted Cruz’s Bodyguard?
At the time of publication, it wasn’t clear who the Ted Cruz’s Bodyguard, who wore dark glasses and casual clothes, was. But the young man is said to work for Atlas Glinn, a Houston-based “executive protection” company. Whose website now has a picture of Cruz giving a thumbs-up at a parade. Also the Senator is shown in a picture sitting in a convertible. With two well-built men in suits wearing pins with their names on them.
After Election Day on November 3, 2020, Cruz has made a lot of changes to his security team. He is said to have paid Atlas Glinn (Ted Cruz’s Bodyguard) an average of $23,000 per month for his services. On its website, the company says, “We use experienced agents to protect individuals, celebrities, high-visibility clients, diplomats, government officials, and travelling clients who need extra security and logistics.” It also says that its “Agents, PPOs (Personal Protection Officers), and Commissioned officers” are highly trained.
Midterm Elections And Political Violence Is On Rise!
It’s important to remember that the Cruz incident happened. At a time when political violence was on the rise in the run-up to the midterm elections. Eight out of ten Americans were worried about political violence in the country.
According to a Politico-Morning Consult poll that came out on November 7. Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), has been in the news a lot. In the past few weeks because he was attacked by a home intruder last month. Pelosi was reportedly hit with a hammer and got very hurt in the head as a result. He just got out of the hospital after spending a week getting better.
The latest thing that happened with Cruz made people on both sides of the aisle worried. Representative Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, was angry about what happened and said, “Don’t throw beer or hurt someone you disagree with politically. We are a country where people vote and don’t fight.”
In the meantime, Cruz thanked the police in Houston and the Capitol for their help and made fun of the person who threw the beer can at him.
