An angry anti-Israel demonstrator on Tuesday interrupted Senator Ted Cruz during a committee hearing on hate crimes and profanely questioned why the Texas Republican was spending his speaking time on antisemitism.
Cruz spoke at the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on hate crimes and was criticizing Democratic committee members for refusing to hold a hearing solely focused on antisemitism when a protester began shouting over him.
“Every Republican member of this committee asked the chairman to hold a hearing on antisemitism in February, and yet, we don’t get a hearing on antisemitism. We get a hearing generically on hate, because this administration — and this is the kind of anger and hate that is encouraged,” Cruz said, as the man began shouting.
