I stand with Corey Booker. [View all]
He blew up at fellow democrats on the floor of the senate regarding voting for the passage of a bill that is related to police funding.
What I am tired of is when the president of the United States violates the Constitution
and what does the Democratic Party do? Comply? Allow him? Beg for scraps? Booker said. No, I demand justice.
This was after Trump said he would dole out the funding to whichever state he deems worthy.
Booker is absolutely right. Democrats should not help the republicans to pass anything whatsoever.
They should jam the senate and house whenever they can. There is no benefit in attempting "bipartisanship " when we are moving towards autocracy dictatorship with congressional Republicans doing everything Trump wants.
To further quote Booker :
Theres a lot of us in this caucus that want to fucking fight, Booker told reporters. And whats bothering me right now is we dont see enough fight in this caucus.
For that he was berated by Klobuchar and Cortez-Masto on how he should have followed process and objected in committee because apparently following process is what's more important.
Hopefully more of our senators open their eyes and realize its no longer business as usual. Democracy is at stake.
