Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president in 2016, reacted to the indictment of his former rival on his podcast "Verdict" Friday.
"Today is a very sad day in American history," Cruz proclaimed, calling it a "shameful" and "disgraceful" day.
Cruz predicted that Garland "is going to go down in disgrace as the most partisan and political attorney general in our nation's history." He maintained that President Joe Biden and the Biden White House have "decided 'to hell with democracy.'"

"We have never, in over two centuries of our nation's history, had a new president who launched the entire Department of Justice, the entire machinery of justice, on a vendetta to persecute, to attack, to investigate, to indict, to try to throw in jail the former president, who, it should be noted, is also the leading contender on the Republican side to run against the current president," he added.
