This morning Ted Cruz gave a great 15 minute speech when it was his turn to speak in the Kavanaugh. Some of what he said you already know, as it was in his interview this morning where he discussed Kavanaugh’s role as Staff Secretary for President Bush.
But he also further explained why he believes Democrats are really pounding the table about Kavanaugh and it has everything to do with 2016.
Watch:
Out of everything Cruz said this morning, one fact stood out to me. It was when he said this:
The claims that Democrats are putting forward on documents don’t withstand any serious scrutiny. Judge Kavanaugh has produced 511,948 pages of documents. That includes more than 17,000 pages in direct response to this committee’s written questionnaire, which is the most comprehensive response ever submitted to this committee. The more than a half million pages of documents that’s turned into this committee is more than the number of pages we’ve received for the last five Supreme Court nominees combined. Listen to that fact again. The over half million documents turned over to this committee is more than the last five nominees submitted to this committee, combined.
Wow, that’s pretty incredible. The Democrats are screaming about documents that aren’t even relevant and yet they have more documents than they’ve ever had from a Supreme Court nominee x5!
What makes this point even more salient is that Cruz notes that most Democrats in the room have already said they are voting against Kavanaugh, yet they are still pounding the table about these documents.
You should watch the whole video if you haven’t.
