Few people can go head-to-head with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in a congressional battle.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is not one of those people, as he showed on Tuesday. 

🚨BRUTAL: Here’s the moment when Senator @tedcruz calls Democrat Cory Booker “SPARTACUS” to his face.

“Let the record reflect that ‘Spartacus’ did NOT answer the question…”

Booker rambled, attempting to accuse Cruz of hypocrisy while avoiding the question. Booker suggested that President Donald Trump should apologize, although it’s unclear how Trump relates to the radical leftist actions against SCOTUS. But that was Booker, trying to deflect in desperation.

Cruz was having none of it. He delivered an epic reply. 

“So let the record reflect that Spartacus did not answer the question, and did not tell us whether the criminal law should be enforced because he knows the answer is yes. And he knows that the Biden Department of Justice was being wildly political and partisan in refusing to enforce the law because they disagreed with the Supreme Court Justices’ rulings.”

Oh my, is that perfect? Ted Cruz has delivered a lot of great responses, but that one might zoom to the top. That just left Booker in the dust. 

Booker finds himself in a difficult position, as there is no satisfactory answer for him because what Cruz said holds truth. Not only did the Biden team and Democrats show indifference, but they also hoped that the pressure would sway the justices to alter their rulings. It was indeed a disgraceful move on their part. Let’s not forget then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) urging women to apply pressure to influence the Supreme Court’s possible decisions.

Nancy Pelosi calls on people to actively pressure Supreme Court justices to try to influence the final decision.

Meanwhile, far-left groups are currently publishing the private addresses of justices’ homes to encourage protesters to protest there. pic.twitter.com/8LadBrxNqi

That was some of the madness that the Biden team allowed to foment and refused to address properly.  

Then you had a man who was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home for allegedly wanting to assassinate him. When the left whips people up on an issue, it can have some harmful results.
