Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Tuesday took a strong stance against President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, calling the nomination “insulting to law enforcement officers everywhere.”
Cruz’s opposition to Debo Adegbile’s nomination stems from the man’s time with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. During that time, Adegbile volunteered to advocate for Mumia Abu-Jamal, who was convicted of murdering Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. As Townhall’s Katie Pavlich notes, attorneys with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund were able to get Abu-Jamal’s death sentence overturned.
“Mr. President, this is insulting to law enforcement officers everywhere. I stand with the Fraternal Order of Police in opposition to Debo Adegbile,” Cruz said from the Senate floor Tuesday.

Thanks Whenifhow. G’night all.
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
Cruz’s opposition to Debo Adegbile’s nomination....
Debo Adegbile
How do you pronounce that?
Dee-Bow Ad-egg-bile?
Deb-O Aide-G-Bile
Hmm....
Yabba Dabba Doo
A - deg - bi - lay
...or, yes, Abba Dabba Doo
It is impossible to arrive at any other conclusion but that the current POTUS really does dislike our country and is a racist - anti-white.
FREE MUMIA!*
*With purchase of greater or equal value MUMIA. Offer good while supplies last. Void where prohibited.
Sen. Ted Cruz is right on this... it’s insulting beyond words. If President Bush had nominated some past President of the KKK or White Citizens Council it would be equally insulting.
ah deg bee lay?
Which I guess is Spanish for “Radioactive.”
Odd egg bee lay.
Anyhow yeah this is green meat to his liberal base. No matter that he is such a radioactive figure elsewhere.
Unifier, my fanny.
It’s too bad the rest of the good old boys didn’t have the nerve to call Obozo out for nominating this defender of a cop killer out out on the floor of the Senate for all to hear and for the record.
Absolutely. What else would possess a President of the United States (and I use that term loosely) to nominate the defender of a cop killer to a high position in the Justice Department? This is an in your face nomination. He’s throwing it out there for his radical Black Panther pals. This is an outrage and spend to the core of who Obama is.
Spend = speaks
