THANKS, Cory Booker!

[elleng]

I departed from watching for a few hours, went to my 'new' set of The West Wing for sanity, so decided to check back in, and here he is!

[Sugarcoated]

1. Damn...I missed him

He knows how to kick Republican nuts

[mobeau69]

2. He took little Tommy Cotton to the woodshed.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. OMG that's a nickname that'll get around - little Tommy Cotton

Who's the Senator with his own adjective?

little Tommy Cotton

Make it stick with molasses on it

[nolabear]

3. He's making her tear up.

This has been so hard and she’s held up so well. Man, I might shed a tear too.

[elleng]

4. I am, and so is my daughter.

HOPE she's OK and not ill, 'just' tearing up.

[mcar]

5. We all needed that

[IcyPeas]

6. he read from the conservative National Review piece debunking Hawley's child porn smears.... [WATCH]

Booker reads part of the National Review's piece debunking Hawley's child porn smears, including the part that characterizes them as "meritless to the point of demagoguery."

"This is a new low," Booker says.

8. Thanks

[Satch59]

7. Oh wow...this is so moving...

Putting the GOP to shame…

She’s crying now too. How any GOP senator can follow that and bring up the same old shit is crazy, but they will…

Hope this clip gets replayed tonight…wow Cory, wow…

[JohnSJ]

13. They are scum

[mia]

9. He's on fire.

Such a pleasure to be watching this.

[Stinky The Clown]

10. The humans in our house are crying

Cory

Wow.

HE SPEAKS FOR SPARKLY, HE SPEAKS FOR ME.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. He told it like it is.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. After the recess, CSPAN cameras caught one of Booker's other people . . . .

. . . . a black man in a uniform and wearing a mask emptying trash cans on the dais desk.

How fitting.

[elleng]

15. Thanks. Will keep thought picture of that in my mind.

[berniesandersmittens]

14. I just turned in right when Booker began.

I teared up as well. What a great speech and a great American role model.

[ChazII]

16. +100

Some tears in my house but tears of joy for his speech.

[mia]

17. Cory Booker's speech today reminded me of another powerful moment in history.

You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

18. Booker misses the point. Hawley has been told that this demagoguery wins elections. Fool the stupid

people, it works. Tell them a there is a zombie trans apocalypse and they believe it. Hawley will say anything his political consultants say will gain votes. F’en shame because most thinking people see right through his cherry picking facts from cases. CRT-Trans-Replacement-gay democrats will take your assault rifle away it’s all coming right at us. We know the playbook so how do we counter attack? Biden gave working people a direct injection of cash to help with the costs of childcare but that’s unimportant compared to the new boogeyman CRT.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. Love Cory Booker. A good man and an inspiration.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Here is a video of his remarks

[elleng]

21. Thanks!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. To put it plainly Josh Hawley is a punk ass

He's a backstabbing little man who thinks he can build himself up by tearing others down.

[Brother Buzz]

24. I missed most of him, but She Who Must be Obeyed caught all of it....

She was blotting tears in her eyes and sporting a grin from ear to ear.

[elleng]

26. Glad she saw it.

DARN, I lost that T-Shirt, 'she who must . . .'

[milestogo]

25. Just saw the clip..

He made her cry. And he made me cry.

[NoMoreRepugs]

27. Hawley in some ancient language has to mean dog shit..

[ChazII]

28. Well said, Sen. Booker

"Don't worry my sister, God has got you," Booker told Jackson.
