'Am I right in assuming you do not view your role as attorney general as being Joe Biden's wingman?' Cruz asked Garland on Monday.

, who seemed to regard the attorney general as someone who should be loyal to the president.

"I do not regard myself as anything other than the lawyer for the people of the United States. I am not the president's lawyer. I am the United States lawyer," Garland said."And I will do everything in my power, which I believe is considerable, to fend off any effort by anyone to make prosecutions or investigations partisan or political in any way."

Always masters of deflection. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Must be the Mexican water

Well Cruz should know all about weaponizing the Gvt for political ends ......

Really Ted, really? Do you think we’re stupid? Find a hole and crawl in. Or go back to Mexico

Cancun calling, Teddi!

tedcruz stfu

Hey Ted....going to take a vaca this week

Ahhhh hahaha ...can hardly wait for you to be out..you're nothing but a Analytica leftover!

Ted Cruz must have gone to Mexico for whatever made him say this!

Wow, GOP really hate when tables are turned

Apparently TedCoup just woke up from his four year bender...

He is a joke

This ocksucker here...

Such bs

He should have stayed in Cancun

Pity Cruz has zero credibility

twisted lies is what Ted Cruz does all the time

Shouldn't he be zooming into the hearing from Texas where he can be with the people who elected him in their time of need?

Piece of dog-do. Barack Obama appreciated and respected the role of the Justice Department and Cruz knows that-BUT do republican voters and if they do-will they admit it? The answer to that last question is probably not.

cancuncruz 🤣🤣

Does Ted Cruz think making a fool of himself is the path to the presidency? Just because it worked for Trump doesn’t mean it’ll work for non-reality-TV-characters.

Seriously?

Ok. It’s bullshit. Was Garland at DOJ under Obama? Did Raphael have too many margaritas and forget about the last 4 years.

SenTedCruz just how was the DOJ “Politicized and Weaponized” under Obama?

Cancun Cruz says what!?😒

nobody gives a hoot what Ted Cruz thinks.

Oh, that’s rich.

Interesting that anyone still cares to say what SenTedCruz thinks or says..

Didn't he mean Bill Barr?

FledCruz needs to get fitted for a pair of NopalePants

Why is this terrorist asking a nominee for AG anything?

Question; Obama. Follow up; Hillary. Conclusion; Former AG Eric Holder. When do they stop being the political foil for everything? After AG Barr, Cruz’s line of questioning is a bit rich.

Man if I were Merrick I would have torn him a new one

So slime bag Cruz seems to have gotten away with lying about his Mexico trip. Typical.

Lol! Cry us a Yangtze...

Ahem, nobody gives a shit what you say Cancun boy.

Can you spell BARR boys and girls?

Fat Wolverine must’ve gotten too much sun that day he spent in Cancun. Fried his brain.

I don’t think a Senator who abandoned his state during an emergency as any credibility criticizing someone else. Especially when the criticism is all lies.

Did Ted show off his Mexican vacation pics at breaks during the hearing?

Cancun Cruz is a domestic terrorist.

Politics is the art of making your selfish desires seem like the national interest. --Thomas Sowell

Go back to Mexico.

Did he fall asleep for the Barr AG period?

Why is Cruz still there? You no longer count as you abandoned your constituents. However, if Texans can move forward with bottles of water and bbq, then I guess, they deserve him.

For any Republican in Congress to accuse anyone else in government of politicizing anything is the equivalent to someone who has spent a lifetime being a serial rapist suddenly having the gall to accuse everyone else of committing sex crimes.

How is this fool still there? Just a sad set of morals of a supposed leader....

The Gusano KKKruz, so pathetic. Goofy GQP

Ted Cruz doing what Republicans does best blame your adversaries for the very thing you’ve done

'That fucker is the worst.' Where have I heard that before? TedCruzisADisgrace FlyinTed LyingTed

Ted Cruz is weaponized stupidity.

It’s no use

What’s in his crackpipe?

Thank you black Jesus

Really? You really want to go there after what we had to deal with regarding his successor.

Che Cancun Cruz has no credibility.

Was he on vacation for the last four years?

Shh… 🙄
