Ted Cruz Blasts President Biden’s Vow To Nominate A Black Woman To The Supreme Court
Texas Senator Ted Cruz has expressed his opposition to President Joe Biden vowing to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.
Cruz has called the president’s words “offensive” and stated that the president is basically telling other citizens of the country that they are “ineligible.”
“…You know, you know Black women are what, 6% of the US population? He’s saying to 94% of Americans, ‘I don’t give a damn about you, you are ineligible,'” Cruz said on his podcast.
“And he’s also saying–it’s actually an insult to Black women. If he came and said, “I’m gonna put the best jurist on the court and he looked at the number of people and he ended up nominating a Black woman, he could credibly say, ‘Okay I’m nominating the person who’s most qualified.’ He’s not even pretending to say. He’s saying, “if you’re a White guy, tough luck. If you’re a White woman, tough luck. You don’t qualify.”
It is unclear exactly who Biden will nominate to the court. However, the White House has stated that one person who is a potential nominee is Judge J. Michelle Childs.
