Senator Ted Cruz believes Democrats obstructing the Brett Kavanaugh hearing Tuesday have a single motivation: to avenge Hillary Clinton’s election loss.
In an impassioned speech before the Judiciary Committee, Cruz laid bare the motivations behind Democrats’ protest of the hearings. The hearings of Trump’s SCOTUS nominee were met with interruptions and screams from protesters and Senate Democrats alike. Multiple audience members were removed from the hearing by police. Cruz called the antics, “an attempt to distract and delay†calling the Democrats’ tactics a “joke.â€
“So what is this fight about?†Cruz asked, “If it’s not about documents or Judge Kavanaugh’s credentials or judicial record, what is this fight about? I believe this fight is nothing more and nothing less than an attempt by colleagues to relitigate the 2016 presidential election.â€
Cruz said that voters took to the polls to replace Antonin Scalia on the court during the 2016 election. “Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were both clear about what kind of justices and judges they would appoint,†Cruz said, “Secretary Clinton’s answer was clear. She wanted a justice who would be a liberal progressive willing to rewrite the Constitution. Willing to impose liberal policy agendas that she could not get through the democratic process and the Congress of the United States would not adopt – that she hoped five unelected lawyers would force on the American people. That’s what Hillary Clinton promised for her nominees.â€
