Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Cory Booker Clash Over DOJ's Enforcement of Protest Laws at Supreme Court Justices' Homes

Published | Video Starts at 03:28

I was here at those hearings and I do not recall a single Democrat senator saying to the Attorney General, you should arrest these people who are violating the law. You should protect the judges. I agree that there was general language against violence, but not a single Democrat senator that I ever saw in this committee was willing to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland to account for flagrantly disregarding the federal criminal law.
