Ted Cruz Slams Boot on Table During Senate Hearing on FBI Oversight
"Texas Senator Ted Cruz slammed his boot on a table during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday while expressing concerns that the FBI and Justice Department have become "thoroughly politicized."
Senators were questioning FBI Director Christopher Wray during an FBI oversight hearing when Cruz asked about what he said was an FBI training document obtained by conservative organization Project Veritas. This document, Cruz said, "listed various symbols and themes which in the FBI's estimation, were indicative of 'militia violent extremism.'"
Those symbols included the Betsy Ross flag, an earlier design of the current U.S. flag that featured 13 stars instead of 50, and the Gonzales battle flag, according to Cruz. The lawmaker then slammed his boot on the table in front of him to show that it depicted the Gonzales battle flag."
