Ted Cruz CAUGHT Scrolling Twitter During SCOTUS Hearing - TYT




During the Senate’s confirmation hearing of Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, Ted Cruz was caught searching his Twitter account’s mentions to see how his political theatrics were doing online. He began searching his own name after a heated and disrespectful exchange with Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin.

"Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) had yet another awkward moment with technology on Wednesday when reporters spotted what he was checking on his phone during confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.

It was his own social media mentions.

Cruz went beyond his allotted time with his attacks on Jackson, drawing a gavel from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), which led to a testy exchange between the two.

Once Cruz was done grandstanding for the cameras, he whipped out his cellphone. Los Angeles Times reporter Nolan D. McCaskill caught what he was doing."

Especially his tirade aimed at Senator Durbin! Though Al Franken's often repeated statement has gone viral...

"Here's the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz. I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."
