EPIC: Ted Cruz Masterfully Describes Hypocrisy of Dem Party During Sessions’ Confirmation Hearing

Confirmation hearings were held on Tuesday for President-elect Donald Trump’s Attorney General-designate Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.). Early on, Sessions faced intense scrutiny from Democrats, including his colleague Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.). Democrats accused Sessions of lying about his record on a Senate questionnaire, as well as in some media appearances. They also questioned his civil rights record.

Sessions handled the questioning with poise, responding with detailed answers.

However, later in the day, Senator Ted Cruz stepped onto the scene to deliver an epic performance as he masterfully described the hypocrisy of Al Franken and the Democratic party. It was a beautiful moment indeed (aside from the obnoxious protesters).

Senator Cruz remarked:

• “When the Department of Justice used Operation Choke Point to target legal businesses because they disagreed politically with those businesses, the Democrats on this committee were silent.”
• “When the Obama Justice Department sent millions of dollars of taxpayer monies to sanctuary cities that were defying federal immigration law, the Democrats on this committee were silent.”
• “When the Obama administration refused to enforce federal immigration laws and unilaterally re-wrote this laws, the Democrats on this committee were silent.”
• “When the Obama administration released tens of thousands of criminal illegal aliens including rapists and murderers into the general population, the Democrats on this committee were silent.”
• “When the Department of Justice signed off on the Obama administration paying a nearly $2 billion ransom to Iran, contrary to federal law, the Democrats on this committee were silent.”
• “When the Obama administration ignored and rewrote provision after provision of Obamacare contrary to the text of the law, the Democrats on this committee were silent.”
• “When the Obama administration signed off on illegal recess appointments, that the Supreme Court had to strike down unanimously, the Democrats on this committee were silent.”

For eight years we have seen a Department of Justice consistently disregarding the rule of law.

So, “thank you” Senator Cruz– for brilliantly describing how the Democrats were silent as the Obama administration politicized the Justice Department.
