CRUZ: 'The Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan'

Cruz lashed out at Elizabeth Warren and the Democratic Party for opposing the confirmation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas

Speaking on Fox News on Wednesday, the Republican senator from Texas accused Democrats of being "angry and out of their minds" for opposing Sessions, who was confirmed later Wednesday evening.

"They’re foaming at the mouth practically," Cruz said on "America’s Newsroom."

"It's one of the crutches — when the left doesn’t have any other arguments, they go and just accuse everyone of being a racist, and it's an ugly, ugly part of the modern Democratic Party."

"The Democrats are the party of the Ku Klux Klan," he said. "The Dixiecrats, they were Democrats who imposed segregation, imposed Jim Crow laws, who founded the Klan. The Klan was founded by a great many Democrats."

"And yet now the Democrats just accuse anyone they disagree with of being a racist."
