Something screwy is going on.
Democrats scored wins with two judicial confirmations on Wednesday, advancing anti-White Rebecca L. Pennell and Amir Ali.
Why?
Because Republicans Ted Cruz and Mike Braun played hooky, which gave the Democrats the edge.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris vacationed in Hawaii.
This was basically a forfeit in a crucial match.
Pray this gets rectified.
Hi @tedcruz why didn’t you show up to vote? https://t.co/istiAKU9mM

Where the hell are you @TedCruz? This is ridiculous.

Was this intentional? To create more roadblocks for President Trump?
Because of their absence, this anti-White judge got in!
Which activist thinks “racism and white supremacy currently plague every social, educational, economic, governmental, and legal system” in America?

The Gateway Pundit reports:
The U.S. Senate on Wednesday confirmed two more of Joe Biden’s radical judicial nominees to federal district courts—thanks in part to the absence of key GOP senators.
With Kamala Harris conveniently vacationing in Hawaii, the GOP had a golden opportunity to block these nominations. Instead, their failure to show up handed Democrats another victory.
Democrats confirmed Rebecca L. Pennell to the Eastern District of Washington in a 50-48 vote.
Republican firebrand Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) inexplicably missed the vote, joining Braun in the hall of shame, while Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) voted against the confirmation.
If that wasn’t enough, Democrats confirmed Amir Ali to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
ADVERTISEMENTAmir Ali, a left-wing activist and Executive Director of the MacArthur Justice Center, was confirmed to a federal trial court in Washington, D.C., by a razor-thin vote of 50-49.
Ali, whose career has focused on dismantling law enforcement systems and advocating for the defunding of police, now holds a lifetime judicial appointment.
Despite Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) standing against Ali’s nomination, voting “no,” Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) was nowhere to be found during the vote, leaving Democrats to confirm Ali without the tie-breaking vote of Harris.
Amazingly, Ted Cruz managed to show up.
This is the second time Senator Mike Braun has missed this critical voting.
On Monday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Embry Kidd to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit with a razor-thin 49-45 vote.
Republican senators faced criticism for failing to prevent this appointment, with several notable absences during the vote.
Among those missing were:
ADVERTISEMENTMike Braun (R-IN)
Steve Daines (R-MT)
Bill Hagerty (R-TN)
Marco Rubio (R-FL)
J.D. Vance (R-OH)
What is actually going on here??
Trump isn’t going to be happy when he hears about this!
The story gets even worse on confirmation of Biden judicial nominees.@SenatorBraun and @tedcruz dropped the ball this time.
Why can't these GOP Senators just camp out in DC until Inauguration Day to thwart the confirmation of these radical leftist judges? https://t.co/5KWb66DAm4 pic.twitter.com/LuFCAtZTW8

More GOP nomination woes. If Braun and Cruz were present and voted no, then would have forced Harris (currently in Hawaii) to break tie… https://t.co/kezKMYd1FR
