Ahead of General Merrick Garland’s appearance in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz listed five questions the embattled attorney general needed to be asked.
“Number one, why did the Department of Justice cater to the wishes of partisan activists who want to teach critical race theory in schools and think that parents are domestic terrorists? Number two, the Loudoun County School Board covered up a sexual assault by a gender fluid individual against a ninth grade girl. And instead of going after the school board, Merrick Garland attacked the victim’s father in his memo against parents. Did Merrick Garland know about this cover-up and the brutal sexual assault when he issued that political and partisan memo?” Cruz asked in a video, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller.
Garland wrote in a letter to top FBI officials that field agents should “convene meetings with federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial leaders in each federal judicial district” for the purpose of “addressing threats against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.” Garland sent his letter shortly after the National School Board Association (NSBA) submitted a letter to President Joe Biden claiming that “acts of malice, violence, and threats against public school officials” could constitute “domestic terrorism.”
