Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called President Joe Biden's commitment to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court"offensive" and said that by doing so the President is telling other Americans"you are ineligible."
"The fact that he's willing to make a promise at the outset, that it must be a Black woman, I gotta say that's offensive. You know, you know Black women are what, 6% of the US population? He's saying to 94% of Americans, 'I don't give a damn about you, you are ineligible'," Cruz said on an episode of his podcast "Verdict with Ted Cruz" that was released on Sunday.
No you spreading lies!!
Coming soon to a Bookseller near you: 'I AM MY OWN ASSHOLE' By Ted Cruz, author of: 'DOES THIS BEARD MAKE MY PENIS LOOK BIGGER?' 'I DON'T VACATION IN CANCUN FOR THE WARM BEACHES, I GO FOR THE TEEN GIRLS IN THONGS', and 'TRUMP LOVES ME, RIGHT?'
Racism statements, that is the problem with western world.
Is Ted Cruz even qualified for his job? Biden is selecting from a pool of the most qualified candidates in the country. Didn't Cruz back ACB, someone very unqualified?
I guess he should know…he’s the king of offensive and insulting
More than 94% of Americans are ineligible to serve on the Supreme Court because they lack the education and work experience.
So what, black people were ineligible at one point js
Ted, I think you smarter than that.
This would be a clear cut case of discrimination.
Actually a good thing otherwise JB might nominate his son Hunter, the smartest man he knows.
Oh, poor white male privileged victims.
I Cruz is so predictable I know what he’s going to say about anything before he opens his mouth.
By choosing any gender or race, that is racism and it should be based on skill.
Typical CNN stereotyping Conservatives. We see through you as clear as day. We want Equality not Equity. This country complies with a Creed not the media! tedcruz
tedcruz
Cruz people the gop put in the Supreme Court all conservative, the gop don’t allow the democrats into the Supreme Court. Why aren’t you pointing that out. That’s your hypocrite proof
In the history of USA their has been 115 Supreme Court members 108 have been white men and T. Cruz feels cheated too fricken BAD 👎
What LyinTed doesn't realize is that Candidate SleepyJoe made a promise. Promise made, promise soon to be kept.
Ted has been fooling the people of Texas way too long, he only cares about being in office.
Cuban Ted Dallas has snow coming time for you to pack your bags.. put your tail between your legs and leave
If the next weather event leaves TX like it was last year, he wants to have an excuse ready. Quick, somebody check to see if he has flight or accommodation reservations.
Ted Cruz is the offensive one, after someone (Trump) insulted his wife he did nothing, later he threw his own daughter under the bus, so he has the wrong idea of whom he needs to defend and will always go against our President Biden, Ted Cruz SHAME ON YOU!!!
I couldn’t agree more.
It should be based on Merit yes but diverse which it is not.
Don’t worry Teddy, “ANY” Black considered will have to be “OVERQUALIFIED “ and damn near perfect for even the opportunity to be mentioned. Where was all this energy when Justice ACB was being ramrodded through the process🤷🏼♂️
🤔
Ted Cruz has a memory problem about what 45 called his wife! Horrendous.
Experience and qualifications are always secondary when choosing any Supreme Court judge nominees.
Trump nominating an alleged rapist? What kind of message did that send to people, SenTedCruz ? tedcruztexascoward TedCruzIsOffensiveAndInsulting
Ted👍💪🇺🇸❤️
He is offensive.
Nonsense is she not american, or doesn't he knew most american superstars in many field are blacks, and they perform wonders and intelligent americans are proud of them.
Very true. Joe’s a bad one. You can’t do that in the real world.
So it wasn't offensive to post federal judgeships with jobs for life to candidates who couldn't get certified by the American Bar Ass. who had no experience, whose only qualification was voting Republican, who had to be railroaded into office, who cried under questioning, .......
Que tienen que ver palabras racistas con los verdaderos problemas de Estados Unidos por favor y con ese apellido hispano .
But yet people still elected this guy
Did the Republicans attack Reagan’s pre election promise to finally add a woman the the Supreme Court?
Black women and men have been labeled as ineligible for years. Maybe it's about time white men stop making all the decisions by themselves.
Dummer Hetzer und Schwätzer Ted fuck up.
What's offensive, tedcruz, is you showing support for a man that called your wife ugly and accused your father of having a hand in the Kennedy assassination.
Ted Cruz goes to Cancun during major catastrophe in Texas maybe really offensive.
His an hepocrate he should says that’s to DJP . Shame on him.
Was by mistake I pressed The Red heart I apologize for it
The supreme Court must represent the people the population in America has a large African-American community since it's inception. It should have an African-American representative long overdue.
Then we black's are calling you fool
Asahole
Racist racist racist
He’s not wrong
I can name three that should not be on that Court. Ev1 that is being considered is highly qualified
What a weird logic Ted Cruz has! It’s like if I say Ted Cruz is stupid does it mean all of GOP are stupid? Ted Cruz get out of politics to make America great again this time!
It’s hard to hear you from Mexico.
umm yeah CNN. obviously he is rendering others 'ineligible' by making that declaration . and No, Reagan didnt say the same thing, unless you have a comprehension issue
Disgusting
What I find offensive. Is Ted Cruz and his lack of intestinal fortitude.
Like the last nominations didn’t offend other Americans besides white ones
Biden made a pledge just like any other president in the past Why conservatives are making a big deal Huge hypocrisy on their part
😂 Have he seen the judges?
Did he and other Trumpists use this during the 2020 campaign? If they did, then they should give us a break.
And i am thinking from the two sides, it is conditional- each trying to be a hero of some sort..and wanting to score some points. Here is the main reason i do not have a way with politics! It is so....everything the other-way-around.But good try though, you have the stand ovation
Cancun Cruz
Stop with this BS! The short lost of possible black women is more qualified than the three current SCOTUS appointed to bench by Insurrection President Trump!!!
Talk about the last bastion of the good old boys club....the Supreme Court of the United States....give me a break Cancun Cruz
And why did Trump pick Amy Barrett?
Why is it when dealing with BLM everything is Offensive? America's Whole Democracy was created to deny The Enslaved & their Descendants our rightful places in the Democracy, now that we're getting sum of the crumbs they are still against us Why hate America's most loyal Patriots?
Got it backwards stupid balsero the message is ' anyone with the proper qualifications could be elected no matter race , color or gender'
No one likes Ted
What fucking idiot. If we were going to give the U.S. an enema......Texas is where we'd put the hose !!
The only qualified black woman today is Condalessa Rice and she represents 7 percent of the American population. If FJB chooses a liberal black woman she will represent about 2 percent of the American population. So go figure that out….
You mean like they’ve been telling Black women for 200 years?
“You are ineligible” is pretty much what people like Cruz have been telling black people for decades.
You had no problem with the thoroughly unqualified Barrett, did you? I am ineligible for appointment because I am not a lawyer and I am not at all offended.
I hate him I really really hate him.
Kind of like creating laws that make it harder for minorities to vote telling them they are ineligible.
😱😱😱😱😱😱
No different than Reagan saying he would place a woman on the court during his presidency. So why feel offended now that a Democrat looks to do the same🤔
That's a pretty elaborate way to tell everyone he's a racist 🤣
How many white American males have been appointed to the bench?
I'm so glad we elected ppl ton Congress that just bitch and complain instead of actually working on making America better
Do they never get tired of hearing their own BS?
Hmmmmm Trumps list if 11 candidates were all white....pretty discriminatory
Schmuck why do u report him stirs your little dying ratings.Please now give us some decent journalism
Hi, crew. I did the math on the %of the US who are federalist soc members. It’s 0.02% (rounding DOWN twice). I think 0.02% is a lot less than 6%. I think there might be 3 new federalist soc. Judges? Will someone with a platform point out this bullshit?
Hire someone based on their experience and qualifications not based on their skin color. That’s their the NEW ticket to try to win midterm. Be Aware of the white Liberals America 🇺🇸. They are not your friends. Be aware
If he said that which I’m about to do my research than thank you for making clear what we dealing with
Wolverine
cRuz is OFFENSIVE...looks like a WARTHOG
Okay. STOP. ted cruz is going to tell ME what is OFFENSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha sigh.
Did he wow that is unbelievable
Truth is they fear an intelligent, qualified black woman.
Ted, he’s telling Americans who for generations were told you are ineligible that you are in fact very eligible.. and now VERY is we focus.
It’s always amazing when a racist calls someone trying to help a racist. I bet some of his best friends are black.
Oh so only white people should be allowed? Really?
As long as it is not Trump, anything anybody does is offensive. What else we can expect from a man who puts his political career ahead of insults of his wife, and father?
It’s also EXTREMELY RACIST. THE WORST PERSON TO EVER BE RAM RODDED TO SIT IN THE OVAL OFFICE. WHAT A DISGRACE.
His delivery is terrible, but fact is; declaring the pick will be a person that checks off any predetermined box other than “most qualified” discredits the entire judicial system and spirit of America as a whole. Honestly, if I was a black woman id be pissed.
He is right on this issue. Why not an Asian American? Why not other Americans besides black Americans?
Because Amy Coney Barret was soooooo qualified for the job they had to nominate her faster than Ted made it to Cancun and back.
He didn’t even defend his wife when she was called ugly by the Cheeto. This is no surprise.
Who does Cruz think he is?
Give it a rest Ted. Our society needs diversity on the Court. Since you have a law degree why is the legal profession mostly white males?
So, he wasn't offended when Donald Trump said that he would nominate a woman, but he is offended that President Biden said he would nominate a black woman? Racism has been mainstreamed in the Republican Party.
Biden won your guy selected lesser qualified individuals than Biden will even though I haven’t any idea who he’s selecting. I’m pretty certain the right will vote no no matter who is selected just in hopes to give Biden a loss regardless of consiquences to America & we the people
Just like Trump, Cruz is whining because he’s not even being looked at to fill a seat.
For the 230+ years the Supreme Court has existed, non-white men and women have been told they’re ineligible, with very few exceptions. But Cruz never had a problem with that!
99.9999% of us will be anyway.
Saying the quiet parts out loud now huh Ted?
CNN is fake news
So many people other than white men have been told they were ineligible for years.
Agreed with Cruz here. I'm not personally offended but it is wrong. Biden's team selected the VP based on color and gender and it's obviously wrong that they're doing it for the SC as well.
No one cares is a sedationst sitting senator says anything. Especially when he is on his way to Cabo.
Hey Rafael. Did you say OUR president was offensive? He didnt say he would pardon domestic terrorists today did he?
Actually Ted Cruz you are offensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have no business in our countries Congress at all -
Yep, the woman who had never tried a case was certainly qualified, as was the walking, talking frat party that we got under Trump, right?
Loollll. 😂
What's offensive Cruz is running to Cancun and trying to over throw an election! Y not a blk woman with the qualifications..what's the problem? Being black or being a woman...
He heard that in Cancun so...
Hey SenTedCruz tedcruz black women HAVE NEVER BEEN NOMINATED BEFORE. I find your 'offense' very 'offensive'. Black women have been ineligible till now! TEDCRUZISARACIST
Thee inventor of woke... trying to woke himself
It's sad to see the calibre of many people who are attracted to politics these days. This guy is an embarassing wannabe who obviously has no real interest in the needs of his constituents. But that's the risk of democracy isn't it? The result reflects the underlying culture.
Isn’t this what happened to people if color in this country for years?
💩 💩 face
Kavanagh was offensive to me as an allege rapist and they all meaning the GOP bootlicked him.
Sit down, Ted. We’re taking turns now.
Since white male was the only applicant looked for so many years, sure. The court should represent the country. Also, since Democrats out weigh the Republican vote ever presidential election, maybe it should represent the majority.
He “has a dream”
Says the guy, who took off for vacation during an ice storm in his state, and got caught. People died🥲too. Shameful.
Good idea, let's choose based on skin color and sex, not qualifications.
Ted Cruz will do well with a psychiatrist evaluation of his head.
