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 wasnt 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 wasnt 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 Cruzs 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

Preach it, Ted Cruz.
Being nasty in support of ANY candidate is stupid. All it does is turn people against your candidate. It’s the equivalent of supporting a candidate while working against him/her.
I wonder about the IQ of people who behave nastily in support of their candidate. How unintelligent does a person have to be to not grasp they are harming their own candidate via such tactics?
Human nature is a high hurdle to overcome.
It’s time to accept victory and stop offending Cruz suppoorters.
I am happy about Trump’s win and look forward to his Presidency.
Cruz lost my support and disappointed me but I still support him as Senator.
We all need too work together.
Insulting Cruz supporters is neither attractive nor effective IMHO.
We all need to work together.
Meg33, I don’t know of a way to make it more clear than by what I am doing now.
Ted Cruz sat by and watched Hillary Clinton almost win the presidency for around 100 days.
You tell me what would have happened to this nation if she got to appoint 4 SCOTUS justices or more.
This nation as our Founders framed it, would have been done.
He knew what a treat she was. I’m sorry, but the man is not worthy of your or anyone else’s support.
Every time his name appears on this forum, it is an insult to those of us who did recognize the threat to your nation.
Why is it you don’t care about loyal Conservatives?
He flew down there to attend the memorial for the Dallas Officers that were killed.
I have no problem with that. This is a time when you put personal political differences aside, and honor those who lost their lives.

The real scandal is that the same Democrats who always line up against Law Enforcement, scrambled to go down there for a photo op.
Shameless!
There you go again. I was Any one but Hillary as was my family from the start. We all voted Trump for President.
I have never prayed so hard in my life for a candidate to win in November
I will not bother you again with my opinions..
Meg33, seriously!
You have the audacity to take me to task for pointing out what Tead was up to, but have no consideration for those of us solid Conservatives who dread seeing his name on this forum any longer.
I don’t state that you didn’t vote for Trump, and kudos to you for having done so. And yet it doesn’t bother you one iota that Tead didn’t join you to fight against Hillary tooth and nail.
Now he’s grandstanding, and praying that everyone will forget last fall.
This is how the man operates. He uses incredibly bad judgment, and then counts on folks not realizing it down the road a few years later.
Not happening this time.
I generally have no beef with you, but I bow to your will on communications in the future.
Take care.
I’m not sure we’ll ever know that.
I’m not a big fan of Tead by any means. I’ll give him this one.
He destroyed himself with me when he showed that he didn’t give a darn if Hillary Clinton got to nominate our next SCOTUS justices or not.
He had been insulted don’t you know...
