Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said Tuesday that senators who don’t oppose President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are “complicit in the evil.”
Booker, speaking at a press conference with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and religious and moral leaders, said that Kavanaugh’s nomination “has nothing to do with politics” but with “who we are as moral beings.”
“I’m here to call on folks to understand that in a moral moment, there is no neutral. In a moral moment, there is no bystanders,” he said. “You are either complicit in the evil, you are either contributing to the wrong, or you are fighting against it.”
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn has rightly
called out Senator Booker for this (emphasis added):
Cornyn said remarks like Booker's were "unhinged" and "detached from any reality" during a Senate floor speech.
"My advice to some of our friends across the aisle who are engaged in this kind of superheated rhetoric, my advice is get a grip," he said. "Get a grip."
. . ."What in the world? [Booker] needs to get a grip," he said. "Everybody’s trying to outdo everybody else."
At this point no one should pay any attention to Senator
Booker, who is ignoring his duties as a Senator to shrilly yell for the
support of the far, far left in a desperate bid to be relevant in the 2020 Democrat
Presidential primary.
