During a Senate session, Senator Dick Durbin accused Senator Ted Cruz of assuming a Biden nominee is a terrorist because he's Muslim, citing the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Cruz vehemently denied the accusation, with reports describing his reaction as 'exploding' on Durbin. The incident, which also involved fellow GOP Senator Josh Hawley grilling Durbin, has been characterized by some commentators as Cruz 'eviscerating' Durbin, while others pointed out the ADL's current leadership includes a former Obama worker. The altercation has highlighted tensions over the treatment of Biden's nominees.
