The media was not happy with Ted Cruz’s comments pointing out the truth about Biden’s discriminatory qualifications for his Supreme Court nominee and they’ve been in full attack mode.
Here’s a couple of examples from CNN:
“The problem becomes if the President nominates someone who is not qualified.”

Ted Cruz was asked about these comments today on Capitol Hill and he defended them, saying that Democrats are “casually racist”.
I haven’t seen the full interview yet but here’s the important parts:
“Democrats are so casually racist … it ends up being insulting to African American women.”

.@TedCruz: "The Democrats are so casually racist that they'll make that promise, and not only that, it ends up being insulting to African American women. […] When Biden starts out by saying he has a quota system, he diminishes the achievements of those African American women." pic.twitter.com/Z2ZpTuR8yJ

As you know I think Cruz is exactly right and I love the fact that he’s fearlessly speaking out about it. Democrats have always been the racist party in this country and we see it all the time on the left, especially with their woke, white privilege garbage.
Here’s how Cruz responded to Gonzalez above:
It’s sad to see “Republicans” shilling for (1) explicit racial discrimination and (2) Biden’s radical left-win judicial nominees.
There was a huge push to put Gonzalez on SCOTUS. That would have been a disaster.
There’s a reason people observed “Gonzalez is Spanish for Souter.” https://t.co/Aw47GLkQ6N
