Ted Cruz: The Democrats Are the Party of the Ku Klux Klan

Ted Cruz on Liz Warren: "When The Left Doesn't Have Any Arguments, They Accuse Everyone Of Being Racist" (RealClearPolitics)

Sen. Ted Cruz comments on Sen. Elizabeth Warren being silenced in the Senate for the duration of the confirmation process for Sen. Jeff Sessions to become Attorney General. She was accused of slanderous speech about Sessions.

"The charges Warren made against Sen. Sessions are demonstrably false, they are slanderous, they are ugly, and it is one of the crutches -- when the left doesn't have any arguments, they go and accuse everyone of being a racist. It is an ugly, ugly part of the modern Democratic party," Cruz said. 

"The Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan," Cruz added. "The Dixiecrats, they were Democrats who imposed segregation... and yet now the Democrats just accuse anyone they disagree with of being racist."
