Cruz rips Biden DOJ nominee as 'partisan ideologue' for liking tweet attacking Nikki Haley

"During her hearing, Vanita Gupta said she regretted her 'harsh rhetoric,' pledged to be 'strictly nonpartisan' & said she wouldn’t engage in this rhetoric going forward," the Texas Republican wrote on Twitter. She’s since liked a tweet callingHe coupled the tweet with a screenshot showing Gupta favorited a tweet that said,"I can’t see Nikki Haley’s forked tongue in this shot.

Gupta’s nomination for associate attorney general, the third-highest position in the DOJ, advanced out of committee in a tie vote. The nomination advances to the Senate floor for a full vote Wednesday afternoon. Republicans had raised numerous complaints over her past remarks."I regret the harsh rhetoric that I have used at times in the last several years.

"I understand the position of associate attorney general is a law-enforcement position—it has to be strictly nonpartisan in every measure," she added."I can pledge to you today that if I am confirmed – or regardless, you won’t be hearing that kind of rhetoric from me." Cruz cast doubt on her claims during the committee hearing that she does not support decriminalizing all drugs or defunding police.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, accused Gupta during the committee meeting of harboring"a certain contempt for the views of people with whom she disagrees." He cited a tweet in which Gupta claimed that Sen.

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, also raised concerns.
