Summary
Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, criticized Democratic lawmakers for skipping a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood’s alleged network inside the United States. The hearing was boycotted by the five Democratic members of the subcommittee, who accused Cruz of staging a “political creepshow” that scapegoated Muslim Americans. Cruz tied the Democrats’ boycott to Abdul El-Sayed’s primary victory and argued that the party is embracing a candidate who had campaigned alongside left-wing streamer Hasan Piker.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Democrats’ boycott was met with a blistering rebuke from Sen. Ted Cruz, who pointed out the empty chairs on the Democratic side of the dais. The hearing was seen as a “political creepshow” by the Democrats, who accused Cruz of scapegoating Muslim Americans. The boycott was also tied to Abdul El-Sayed’s primary victory and his campaign alongside left-wing streamer Hasan Piker. The hearing’s witnesses rejected the Democrats’ characterization of the proceeding as an attack on Muslims generally. One thing is clear: the hearing has become a stage for both parties to perform their roles.
