Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz has said that President Joe Biden’s promise to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer with a Black woman is “offensive” and an “insult to Black women”.
“The fact that he’s willing to make a promise at the outset, that it must be a Black woman, I got to say, that’s offensive,” Mr Cruz said on his podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz. “Black women are, what, six per cent of the US population? He’s saying to 94 per cent of Americans, ‘I don’t give a damn about you’.”
