Ted Cruz Pretends Merrick Garland Was An 'Extreme' Cabinet Pick
CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked Sen. Ted Cruz about recent MAGA attacks against Sen. Joni Ernst, who heaven forbid dared to express some hesitation about allowing the nomination of Pete Hegseth to go through for Defense Secretary.
Cruz refused to condemn the attacks, and instead did his best to "both sides" what's happening now, with these unqualified, dangerous zealots that Trump wants to jam through the Senate if they allow it, and how he behaved when blocking the moderates that Biden nominated for his cabinet.
COLLINS: Do you think it's fair that someone should be threatened with a primary just because they're not totally committed to a nominee yet?
CRUZ: Look, I think the voters are going to express their views. That's politics. And I believe the people have a right to say that. I also believe in the Senate confirmation process. So, you know, every one of the nominees, I think all of Trump's nominees for the cabinet at least are going to be confirmed.
COLLINS: Every single one?
CRUZ: I do. But now, look, you've got 53 Republicans in the Senate, and I think most Republican Senators begin from a proposition that the president is entitled to choose his cabinet nominees.
