Lawmaker Reminds Ted Cruz of Law School Unpopularity

In a recent exchange, Senator Ted Cruz was reminded by a Democratic lawmaker of their shared history at Harvard Law School. This served as a stark reminder of Cruz’s lack of popularity among their peers during their time there.

The conversation started when Cruz appeared to mistake California state Sen. Scott Wiener for former Congressman Anthony Weiner in a tweet. Wiener promptly corrected Cruz, highlighting their time together at law school in the 1990s and the widespread dislike Cruz faced among their classmates.

This isn’t the first instance where Wiener has brought up Cruz’s past behaviour at law school. In a previous tweet, Wiener contrasted Cruz’s demeanour with that of Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was well-regarded by their classmates.

The recent disagreement between Wiener and Cruz arose from Cruz’s opposition to Adeel Mangi, a judicial nominee who could potentially become the first Muslim appeals court judge. Wiener accused Cruz of Islamophobia, though Mangi’s confirmation is uncertain due to a smear campaign against him.

Wiener’s pointed reminder serves as a testament to Cruz’s contentious reputation, both in law school and in his political career. It underscores the importance of past actions and their impact on present perceptions.
