Sen. Tom Cotton told Attorney General Merrick Garland in a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing on Wednesday that he should “resign in disgrace” after using a letter from the National School Boards Association to justify authorizing the Department of Justice to take action against frustrated parents.
“This is shameful. This testimony, your directive, your performance is shameful,” the Arkansas Republican said at the end of his questioning. “Thank God you are not on the Supreme Court. You should resign in disgrace, Judge.”
Before calling for Garland’s resignation, Cotton grilled the Biden appointee about his role in disseminating a memorandum derived from the NSBA letter demanding that the Biden administration use federal law enforcement and “domestic terrorism laws” to target parents.
