[quote=Anonymous]Even Fox News pointed out that what Cory Booker did was incredible. And not comparable to what Strom Thurmond did with his 24 hour speech. [quote] https://www.foxnews.com/politics/what-know-about-senator-bookers-overnight-speech However, Thurmond’s filibuster was "wind assisted." There was no television or social media. Most reporters didn’t realize he had been on the floor all night until the next day. He left the floor to use the restroom. Get a sandwich. Allowed Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson, D-Texas, to pass bills by unanimous consent and swear-in a new senator. But because watchful eyes weren’t on the Senate, no one called Thurmond on it.
