Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday accused Senate Democrats of despising Clarence Thomas because he’s a “conservative African American.”
The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Supreme Court’s ethics after left-wing activists and Democrats have accused the court of being politicized on the one-year anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization draft leak. Cruz went down the list of allegedly “bigoted” moments the political left attacked Thomas since his confirmation in 1991.
Cruz addressed Thomas’ confirmation hearing, to which he accused then-Judiciary Committee chairman Joe Biden and the Senate Democrats of participating in a “high tech lynching.”
“It is sad to see 30 years later this committee, again, engaged in the same despicable tactics,” Cruz said. “Senate Democrats and their lapdogs in the media are engaged in a twofold political campaign. Number one, to delegitimize the Supreme Court of the United States because they’re angry that there are a majority of constitutionalists on the court. But number two, very directly, this is a political campaign designed to smear Justice Clarence Thomas. And the reason is simple, the left despises Clarence Thomas.”
“And they do not despise him because he’s a conservative,” the senator continued. “The left despises Clarence Thomas because he is a conservative African American.”
