Cruz Refuses To Commit To Voting To Confirm Gaetz

“I think it is critically important that we root out the partisan bias that under Joe Biden has infected the Department of Justice, as it infected the FBI. Joe Biden has weaponized our law enforcement and used it to target his political enemies. That has to end.

“As for that particular nomination, look, we have a process under the Constitution where the Senate provides advice and consent. And I trust that process.

“That nominee, like every other will, will have a vigorous vetting, will have confirmation hearings. And every nominee is going to be going to be judged on the merits.

“I will say that was a pick that was, I think, very surprising to the entirety of the Senate. And so we’ll assess the nominee on the merits.

“But but there is a process that will unfold that examines a particular nominee’s background, their experience and their suitability for a role.” – Sen. Ted Cruz, today on Newsmax.
