Ted Cruz ‘Halfway’ Expects Merrick Garland to Riot After Roe Ruling

If and when the Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) says it won’t be all that surprising to see Attorney General Merrick Garland among the rioters taking to the streets over the decision.

Speaking to Sean Hannity, Cruz pointed to the civil rights protests and riots in 2020 after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer and said there could be more such riots after the Roe decision.

“We’re going to see a reprise, I fear, of the Black Lives Matter and the Antifa riots where they’re going to try to use political violence to advance their ends, and the Department of Justice needs to step in and stop them,” Cruz told the Fox host.

“I halfway expect the attorney general to be rioting alongside them because this Department of Justice has been so politicized,” he said.

The department’s supposed politicization, Cruz has claimed, is evident by its handling of threats of violence against school officials, for instance.
