AG Merrick Garland VISIBLY SCARED After Ted Cruz Drops Truth Bomb

After Senator Josh Hawley called for AG Merrick Garland's resignation following the NSBA Memo, Senator Ted Cruz ripped Garland a new arsehole.

In his first line of questioning, Sen. Cruz asked:

“For eight years under Barack Obama, the Department of Justice was politicized and weaponized. When you came before this committee in your confirmation hearing, you promised things would be different. I asked you specifically, ‘Will you commit to this committee that under your leadership, the Department of Justice will not target the political opponents of this administration?’ Here was your answer: ‘Absolutely. It’s totally inappropriate for the Department to target any individual because of their politics or their position in a campaign.’ That was your promise just a few months ago. I’m sorry to say you have broken that promise. There is a difference between law and politics, and [Attorney] General Garland. You know this difference between law and politics. Law is based on facts. It is impartial, it is not used as a tool of political retribution. This memo was not law. This memo was politics. On Wednesday, September 29, the National School Board Association wrote a letter to the president asking the president to use the Department of Justice to target parents that were upset at critical race theory, that were upset at mask mandates in schools, to target them as domestic terrorists. On the face of the letter, the letter was in repeated consultation with the White House, in explicit political consultation with the White House. That was on Wednesday, September 29. Five days later, on Monday, so right after the weekend, boom, you pop out a memo, giving them exactly what they want. Now, by the way, I understand that in politics, that happens all the time. An important special interest wants something, sir, yes, sir. We’re going to listen to him. Let me ask you something, General Garland. In the letter, which you told the House of Representatives was the basis for this abusive memo targeting parents, how many incidents are cited in that memo?”

AG Garland replied:
“I have to look back through the memo.”

Sen. Cruz continued:
“You don’t know how many of them were violent?”

AG Garland replied:
“Again, the general report-”

Sen. Cruz continued:
“How many of them were violent, do you know?”

AG Garland replied:
“I don’t know.”
