Republicans Tom Cotton (Ark.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) held Garland\u2019s feet to the fire over his school board directive and overall job performance.<\/p>\n<p>During a Senate oversight hearing, Sen. Cotton questioned the attorney general about his Department of Justice memo where he labeled concerned parents as \u201cdomestic terrorists.\u201d The Arkansas senator argued parents have every right to protest critical race theory and transgender polices because it effects their children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat refers to Scott Smith, whose 15-year-old daughter was raped and condemned internationally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FULL EXCHANGE: Sen.

Garland insisted the memo wasn\u2019t political, even though the White House played a role in its release.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/video-sen-cruz-five-things-merrick-garland-needs-to-answer-now\">Texas Sen. Cruz<\/a> also grilled the attorney general on school board issues, in particular the teaching of critical race theory. Cruz asked Garland to explain his involvement with a company that sells CRT materials to schools and whether he sought an ethics review on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz said the memo by the DOJ would be financially beneficial to Garland and his family due to his son-in-law\u2019s involvement on the issue. Garland seemed visibly uncomfortable with the questioning.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed by Republicans, Garland couldn\u2019t outline any instances of violence from parents to warrant classifying them as domestic terrorists.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-biden-is-responsible-for-skyrocketing-energy-costs\/\">GOP: Biden Is Responsible For Skyrocketing Energy Costs<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 OCTOBER 27: U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland testifies at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about oversight of the Department of Justice on October 27, 2021 in Washington, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-932798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=932798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/932798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=932798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=932798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=932798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
