White House chief of staff Ron Klain hits back at Sen. Ted Cruz for saying Ketanji Brown Jackson would be 'the furthest-left justice' in Supreme Court history
Ron Klain, the White House chief of staff, on Monday called out Sen. Ted Cruz.
Cruz had said the Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson would be "the most extreme" justice.
Klain said that "nothing" in Jackson's record "supports this assertion."
The White House chief of staff, Ron Klain, on Monday called out Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's comments about Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee.
In response to a clip of Cruz claiming that Jackson would be "the furthest-left justice" in the Supreme Court's 233-year history, Klain tweeted, "Nothing in Judge Jackson's record, experience, or temperament supports this assertion."
Cruz, who's said he opposes Jackson's confirmation and grilled her during her confirmation hearings, made the statement as the Senate Judiciary Committee met to consider Jackson's nomination on Monday.
"There have been 115 men and women who have served on the Supreme Court. If Judge Jackson is confirmed, I believe she will prove to be the most extreme and the furthest-left justice ever to serve on the United States Supreme Court," Cruz said during the panel's hearing.
