[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One great thing about what Booker did was make it really hard for media to criticize
what he did. Even Fox News tried to bash it.. while showing multiple clips of him making sense... it's about attention..and he is getting it. [/quote]
Booker said exactly nothing of substance.[/quote]

Looks like you didn’t do the reading. He said quite a lot of substance. [/quote]
Name your favorite thing he said.[/quote]

[quote]
Senator Cory Booker's opening remarks, during which he quoted the late Civil Rights Leader and former US Representative John Lewis, who said, "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble. Help redeem the soul of America."Booker later shared, "I started tonight thinking about [John Lewis]. I've been thinking about him a lot during these last 71 days...I had to ask myself, if he's my hero, how am I living up to his words?"

"I think Democrats and Republicans have made a lot of mistakes. No side has a monopoly on the truth; no side has been perfect servants of this country. But what has happened in the last 71 days is a patent demonstration of a time where John Lewis's call to everyone has, I think, become more urgent and more pressing."

I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis. And I believe that not in a partisan sense, because so many of the people who have been reaching out to my office, in pain, in fear, having their lives upended, so many of them identify themselves as Republicans."

"Bedrock commitments are being broken; unnecessary hardships are being borne by Americans of all backgrounds; and institutions, which are special in America...are being recklessly and, I would say, even unconstitutionally attacked and even shattered."

"These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such... Generations from now will look back at this moment and have a single question — where were you?"[/quote][/quote]
