At the hearing, during Cruz’s line of questioning, the Texas senator peppered the AG with questions about his son-in-law’s interests in a company involved in teaching CRT, and Garland did not want to go there.

I think @tedcruz almost made Merrick Garland cry 😂

Garland was clearly uncomfortable by the question about if he didn’t or did not seek ethics guidance on the matter of his son-in-law’s involvement with a company that profits from CRT:

The Biden DOJ has embraced Critical Race Theory.

AG Garland’s son-in-law makes big money from a company involved in teaching CRT. So I asked the AG if he sought an ethics opinion.

He refused to answer my question.

Apparently ethics aren't a high priority in the Biden admin. pic.twitter.com/sxDG0gIpOT

That was like trying to pull teeth that never ended up getting extracted.

Not only is CRT garbage that doesn’t belong in schools it’s also a money making scheme https://t.co/aSHTjDrELb
