Dems in the hot seat for skipping crucial hearing on radical group hiding in US: 'Embarrassment'
Every Democratic Party member of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee boycotted a hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood's alleged U.S. network, describing the hearing as 'a political creepshow.'
Source excerpt
Democratic lawmakers were missing during Wednesday's Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing as they skipped a hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood’s alleged network inside the United States, drawing a blistering rebuke from Sen.
"You may notice that there are empty chairs on the Democrat side of the dais," Cruz said as he opened the hearing by pointing out that every Democratic member of the subcommittee refused to attend.
"The American people should ask themselves why not a single member of the minority decided that a hearing on terrorism was worth their time? It is an embarrassment."
Cruz tied the Democrats’ boycott to Abdul El-Sayed’s primary victory, arguing that the timing helped explain why no Democratic members attended.
