Sen. Cruz (R-TX) slams his boot on the table in opposition to FBI guidelines on symbols that indicate extremist groups.

Ted Cruz slammed his boot on the table in protest of FBI guidelines on symbols that indicate extremists.

The text "Come and take it" is indicative of being a violent extremists and is included on this. I wear my boots that have the battle flag on the back of them in the Senate. What are you doing? It doesn't make sense. Are you in agreement with the FBI's guidance? The Betsy Ross flag is one of the flags that have signs of militia violent extremism.

The director of the FBI isn't in the habit of trying to comment on documents that he doesn't know. I will tell you that when we put out intelligence products, including ones that reference symbols, which we do across a wide variety of contexts, we usually make great pains to make sure that they are not seen as evidence of violent Extremism.
