Cory Booker Fights With Fellow Senate Dems Over Trump: Report

Tensions are running high within the Senate Democratic caucus after Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) launched into a heated tirade against several of his colleagues, accusing them of backing what he called pro-Trump policies.

Booker criticized the legislation in question as a “poison pill” aligned with former President Donald Trump’s agenda, including tax cuts. He also warned that it could result in cuts to social programs and create an imbalance in police funding between blue and red states.

“The Democratic Party needs a wake-up call. I see law firms bending a knee to this president, not caring about the larger principles, that those free speech rights that you can take on any client, why are you bending the knee? I see universities that should be bastions of free speech bending at the knee to this president. I see businesses taking late-night talk show hosts off the air because they dare to insult a president,” Booker complained during a Senate floor speech.

He then targeted his Democratic colleagues in a move that has sharply divided the conference, reports claimed.

“And what are the very people here elected to defend the Constitution of the United States saying, ‘oh well today let’s look the other way and pass some resources’ that won’t go to Connecticut, that won’t go to Illinois, that won’t go to New York, that will go to the states he likes,” the rant continued.
