Related: About this forumTed Cruz CAUGHT Scrolling Twitter During SCOTUS Hearing - TYT
During the Senates confirmation hearing of Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, Ted Cruz was caught searching his Twitter accounts 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."

OP
His behavior sure doesn't reflect it, he's made no effort to "make friends and influence people"

Whenever I see Ted Cruz, I immediately think of Al Franken's well deserved quote:

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