WATCH: Senate Hearing Goes Completely Off the Rails When Ted Cruz Triggers Amy Klobuchar After Calling Democrats “The Party of Murderers and R*pists”

Fireworks erupted Tuesday between Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) when the Texas Republican dared to tell the truth about Democrats’ scheme to sabotage President Trump’s agenda and called them “the party of murderers and r*pists,” sending a Senate hearing off the rails.

As Fox News reported, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Wednesday to investigate the influx of nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration by activist district judges and to explore potential solutions to the crisis. This came one day after the House held its own hearing on the subject.

During the Senate hearing, an angry Cruz went off on the Democrats for their undemocratic efforts to overturn the results of the 2024 presidential election by forum shopping for the most radical district judges in America.

“Democrats today HATE Democracy,” Cruz said. “Democrats today are angry at the voters for re-electing Donald Trump…And they engaged in lawfare to stop democracy from operating.”

“Now that their efforts to indict President Trump and stop voters from re-electing him have failed, they are going out to seek radical judges to shut down policies.”

Cruz then had choice words for Democrats while continuing to go off on the blatantly unconstitutional nationwide injunctions these ‘judges’ have been using.

“U.S. law says there is no judicial review, but they (Democrats) found a judge that says ‘hey We, the Democrat Party, we are the party of illegal aliens,” he continued.” We are the party of murderers and r*pists and gang members in your communities. There’s a reason the Democrat party is at 26% approval nationwide because they put radical policies ahead of rule of law.”

“Nationwide injunctions are an abuse of power…It is incumbent upon this committee and this body to rein in the abuse of power from these unelected radical judges who are trying to overturn the election!”

Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL) tried to regain order.

Klobuchar did not like hearing the brutal truth about her party’s scheme and what it really stood for. She responded by trying to gaslight the committee.

At first, she remained calm while doing so.

“We love democracy, and I think we should be having a civil debate on how if Donald Trump wants to make changes to the government, we should be doing it in a legal way, not how he’s doing it,” she lied.

Then Klobuchar flashed her infamous temper.

“And the only reason why there’s all these INJUNCTIONS is because (Trump’s) violating the Constitution,” she fumed. “Why would TRUMP-appointed judges…

“Why don’t you file them (lawsuits) in red districts?” Cruz shot back. “Why are Democrats seeking out left-wing loons…”

At this moment, Senator Ashley Moody (R-FL) intervened to try to stop the argument but to no avail.

“Senator Cruz,” she said.

“What did you just say?!” Klobuchar asked Cruz.

“Why don’t you file them in red districts? Why are the Democratic attorneys general seeking out left-wing…” Cruz began before Moody called a “point of order” and told Klobuchar to resume her time.

Cruz, though, would not be deterred.

“Senator Moody, we have debates on this committee. They occur regularly,” Cruz said.

“Let’s let her have her time, and we’ll get back to you, Senator Cruz,” Moody replied.

“It’s so exciting to be following Sen. Cruz once again,” Klobuchar sarcastically responded.

GOP senators plan to bypass parliamentarian to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts

The parliamentarian is a tool that is often used in the Senate by the majority party under a process called budget reconciliation which allows them to avert a filibuster.

Senate Republicans led by South Carolina's Lindsey Graham are reportedly set to bypass the Senate parliamentarian and her expected ruling this week on whether they can use a legislative process – known as budget reconciliation – to pass President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.

The process can be used only if such an initiative doesn't increase the federal deficit. Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough has yet to decide, so the GOP is forging ahead, in an apparent effort not to appear to be overruling her.

Graham, as Senate Budget Committee chairman, has determined, based on "scoring" the budget resolution, which includes Trump's tax extensions, that it does increase the deficit.

“We think the law is very clear, and ultimately the budget committee chairman makes that determination,” Senate Republican leader John Thune said Tuesday.

The South Dakota lawmaker also argued Graham has the authority to decide whether extending the tax cuts would add to the deficit and need for them to be offset by big spending cuts or revenue-raising proposals, according to The Hill newspaper.

Still, Senate Republicans' biggest procedural concern is whether they can project their impact on future deficits by scoring them as “current policy.”

If extending the 2017 cuts is found to be an extension of current policy, then they won’t be counted as officially adding to future deficits, which would allow Republicans to extend the tax cuts permanently, also according to The Hill.

Democrats are planning to request that the parliamentarian rule that the GOP must use current law baseline to estimate the cost of the tax cuts.

"Republicans are so hell-bent on giving these tax breaks to the billionaires that they’re willing to break any rules, norms and things they promised they wouldn’t do,” Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer said.

Treasury Department sanctions alleged network of people helping secure weapons for Houthis

The network has procured tens of millions of dollars’ worth of commodities from Russia, including weapons, and stolen Ukrainian grain. The goods are then shipped to Yemen, which is under Houthi control.

The Treasury Department on Wednesday announced new sanctions on an alleged network of financial facilitators, procurement operatives, and companies that are helping to secure weapons for Houthi terrorists.

The network has allegedly helped the Iranian-backed Houthi official Sa’id al-Jamal. It has procured tens of millions of dollars’ worth of commodities from Russia, including weapons and stolen Ukrainian grain. The goods are then shipped to the Houthis in Yemen.

“The Houthis remain reliant on Sa’id al-Jamal and his network to procure critical goods to supply the group’s terrorist war machine,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “Today’s action underscores our commitment to degrading the Houthis’ ability to threaten the region through their destabilizing activities.”

The Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has also identified at least eight digital asset wallets that are used by the Houthis to transfer money associated with the network and its activities around.

“The United States is committed to eliminating the Iran-backed Houthis’ capabilities and resources to conduct attacks on our servicemembers and naval assets, while ending their ability to threaten the security of the United States and our partners,” State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement.

The U.S. has designated the Houthis, which has disrupted shipping in the Red Sea amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
