WATCH: Ted Cruz, GOP senators clowned by Biden judicial nominee

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., along with fellow Republican Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Josh Hawley of Missouri, on Wednesday attacked a judicial nominee who works to free wrongfully jailed people for advising "radical district attorneys who let violent criminals go," which he said results in "skyrocketing homicide rates."

"Do you care about the innocent people being killed because of the policies you're implementing?" Cruz asked Nina Morrison, a senior litigation counsel with the Innocence Project, a nonprofit that works to exonerate individuals who have been wrongly convicted.

Morrison, who was tapped by President Biden for a lifetime seat in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, faced a series of acrimonious questions from Senate Republicans, who were determined to blame her progressive record for unrelated crime rates.

In the hearing, Hawley reportedly barraged Morrison with an array of scare-mongering snarl words like "murders" ,"throwing rocks", "gasoline", "assault", "looters," and "rioting," according to HuffPost's Jennifer Bendery.

But Hawley can call breaking into Congress and beating cops "legitimate political discourse." What a punk ass.

1. Cruz is a gross and vile fraud.

Listen up moron, When the wrong person is convicted of murder that means that the actual murderer is out in the world with the opportunity to murder more people.

In the words of Al Franken: “I hate Ted Cruz.”

2. Ted is Slimey the Clown

10. Please....

don't insult the clown community with a comparison to Ted Cruz.

A comparison to snake shit (unless the sakes find it objectionable) would be much more amenable.

5. She was way-on too reasonable and logical for Cruz to understand.

Not that he had any interest in understanding.

[LoisB]

7. Exactly. He didn't hear a word she said and her answer was the perfect response to his

stupid question.

[TomSlick]

11. Of course, she had to answer the question and not simply tell Cruz that he is an idiot.

However, she violated one of my rules to live by:

"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It accomplishes nothing and irritates the pig."

[LoisB]

13. Indeed. LOL

16. That answer was for the rest of us...

She knew she couldn't change him but sure as hell wasn't going to let him get away with it

[TomSlick]

17. Got it. Really intelligent people don't tell the idiots that they are idiots.

But maybe just once - for the sake of stating the obvious?

6. Hope she made them look like the assholes they are. They should have their degrees revoked.

14. "So Ted Cruz would like the real violent criminals to remain free.."

"...and those wrongfully convicted to remain in prison? OK.

Sure sounds like it!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. It's almost like he's determined to be obstructive just for the hell of it - what is wrong with him??

[ShazzieB]

19. What's NOT wrong with him? 😉

He's a mean, nasty, vile, slimy, disgusting toad. And as an added bonus, ugly as sin. Although I think when someone is that horrible, the vileness oozing out of every pore makes them ugly in every way, no matter what they look like.

20. I was able to see Al Franken's live show back in November when he was here in my neck-of-the-woods

(Albany, New York). His show was obviously quite political (and funny). He talked a lot about his time in the Senate - and of course he mentioned Ted Cruz quite a bit! And I can't help wondering what is wrong with this country that we no longer have Al Franken, but we're still stuck with Ted Cruz!

[ShazzieB]

21. Yes, that is completely messed up all right.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. I haven't said it in at least 20 minutes. I FUCKING HATE TED CRUZ.
