Watch Ted Cruz’s Reaction As Fellow GOP Senator Josh Hawley Grills Democrat Dick Durbin

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, fellow Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, and Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin allege that some Republican senators are biased. I could barely contain my excitement as I was furiously criticizing him.

Before handing over the seat to Hawley, Durbin criticized the December hearings, which he claimed reached a “new low” after Republicans criticized Adeel Mangi. nominated He serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Durbin said the “starting point” for the criticism was Mangi's Islamic faith.

“Mr. Chairman, I was not going to say anything, because I had asked Mr. Mangi quite a few questions and I thought I had made my point clear. But I have to say. Yes, you have every right not only to read that letter you just wrote to the Chairman, but to record it as well, but first you must ask me, who interrogated Mr. Mangi that day. said that they had brought this committee into a new disaster—” said Hawley before Durbin appeared to say anything. Off camera.

“Oh, yeah,” Holly said. (Related: New York Times suggests Islam is a race)

“I didn't name names,” Durbin said.

“Oh, you didn't mention any names?” Mr. Hawley shot back as Mr. Cruise was seen laughing and nodding in agreement.

“Some people did,” Durbin said.

“That would be us on this side. I actually questioned him that day, and frankly, I don't think those of us who questioned him were somehow anti-Muslim or had some kind of bigotry.” I was outraged by the insinuation that there was. I think that's outrageous. I think it's just outrageous. And frankly, as someone who has worked on every bill across the aisle…but you. calling us anti-Muslim racists is basically the same thing you just did, but I have to say it's hard to do…that's my problem. .As for Mr. Mangi, I don't care what his religion is or whether he has a religion.”

“But what bothers me is that he was the director of a center that was basically a mouthpiece for Hamas. And he said many times that all his concerns were academic. My question is, didn't he have concerns about Jewish students? We've seen Jewish students barricading themselves in libraries since October 7th… Didn't he consider that a center that actively promotes genocidal rhetoric could have some kind of impact on the students he was supposed to be helping?”

At the Dec. 13 hearing, Mangi repeatedly refused to answer Hawley's questions about whether Israel is a “violent, settler, colonial state.”

This isn't the first time Hawley has asked someone to do a job for him. Check out other examples.
