Ted Cruz just took the Dems' Jeff Sessions hearing hypocrisy and killed it with FIRE
Conservative Review ^ | 01/10/2017 | By: Maria Jeffrey

Posted on 01/10/2017 2:31:38 PM PST by SeekAndFind

During Senator Jeff Sessions’, R-Ala. (C,78%) Attorney General confirmation hearing today in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Ted Cruz, R-Tex. (A, 97%) pointed out numerous Democratic hypocrisies that have been manifested in the past few years and during the hearing.

Democrats on the committee, especially Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. (F, 0%) had been grilling Sessions on whether he would uphold abortion laws in the United States if he becomes Attorney General. Senator Patrick Leahy, D, Vt. (F, 6%) interrogated Sessions on LGBT rights, questioning whether Sessions would uphold civil rights laws as Attorney General.

But did the Democrats care when Obama routinely flouted the law?

Ted Cruz wasn’t having it:

CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO...

“When the Obama Justice Department sent millions of dollars of taxpayer money to sanctuary cities defying federal immigration law, the Democrats on this committee were silent. When the Obama administration refused to enforce federal immigration law…the Democrats on this committee were silent. When the Obama administration released tens of thousands of illegal aliens including rapists and murderers into the general population, Democrats on this committee were silent.”

Ted Cruz was kicking ass. And he wasn’t done. He pointed out Democratic hypocritical silence on Obama flouting the law and paying a ransom to Iran and for releasing Guantanamo terrorists without congressional approval.

Senator Cruz’s comments were met with acclaim from conservatives on Twitter:

And there goes @tedcruz back on the top of his game...calling out Democrats hypocrisy/lawlessness. Woo-hoo

Ted Cruz is absolutely destroying the democrats on the Senate Floor. Thank God we have him in the senate. #SenateHearings #ConfirmSessions

Preach it, Ted Cruz.

cruz had proven he can never be trusted.

His master is not the American people. There is an ulterior motive to everything he does.

Do you have evidence of that?

Tead spent around 100 days refusing to back Trump, and at one point accused Trump of being the reason for violence outside his rallies.

Tead never retracted his comments even after it would found Hillary ordered the violence.

Just how much grand-standing would Tead be doing today, if Hillary had been elected? Would Conservatism have been helped?

Tead’s strategic plan allowed him to not lift a single finger to stop Hillary Clinton from being elected.

No endorsement ever came. He finally admitted he’d vote for Trump. Heaven only knows if he actually stooped to do it, from his point of view.

What a selfish little ass-hat clown.

I suggest you post this in a separate thread so we can all discuss it.

What surprised me most about Cruz was how pudgy he has become. He looks to have gained 20 - 30 lb over his fighting weight.

Cruz was excellent. I listened to it being replayed by Larry O’Conner on his new afternoon radio show on WMAL radio in DC on my way home. wmal.com

Cruz needs to be on the Supreme Court, no doubt about it. He has dismembered every sniveling liberal that ever confronted him.

Just revealed in Russian hacks:

Ted wants to be Queen of Russia, and then the World.

You heard it here, first!

I support Ted Cruz. He’s one of the few people in the Congress that has any balls.
