Psaki evokes Ted Cruz's comments on Justice Barrett as he criticizes Biden's SCOTUS picks

"The Texas Republican has made headlines for calling it insulting that Biden has decided to nominate a Black woman to serve on the bench—a first in the court's 232-year history. Press secretary Jen Psaki fired back at Cruz on Tuesday, noting he and other Republicans had no complaints when former President Donald Trump similarly vowed to nominate a woman to replace late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2020.

Trump's nominee, Amy Coney Barrett, was confirmed by the U.S. Senate along party lines."

""So take Senator Cruz himself," Psaki told reporters. "He had no objection to Donald Trump promising he'd nominate a woman in 2020. Repeat no objection at all. In fact, he praised her on these grounds...During her confirmation hearing, Senator Cruz said, 'I think you're an amazing role model for little girls. What advice would you give little girls?'""
