A softer Spartacus: @CoryBooker comforts Iowa after Kavanaugh confirmation washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/a-soft…
“A chartered jet had waited for Sen. Cory Booker at Reagan airport in D.C., and it flew him to flyover country, where he was the keynote speaker at the Iowa Democratic Party’s annual Fall Gala. His party has just suffered a gut punch.”
“Despite a full-court press in which every possible weapon was fired, President Trump got Brett Kavanaugh through the Judiciary Committee and then the full Senate, and thus confirmed to the Supreme Court.”
“Hope is the act of conviction that despair can never have the last word. We’re not defined in this state by Republicans in power; we’re defined by how we respond to them.”
“We’re not defined by a president who mocks a hero, Dr. Blasey Ford,” Booker says. “We’re not defined by a president who doesn’t believe women.”
(Ford is no “hero,” and no one believes all women, especially Democrats who ignore allegations of abuse by members of their own party)

.@CoryBooker urges them to be faithful to history, comparing the failure to defeat the nomination of Kavanaugh to the early setback of the Civil Rights movement.
(Forgetting that almost 900+ black men were killed based on unproven allegations of rape by women.)

“But toward the end, Booker finally delivers partisan fire and brimstone. The Democrats, he bellows, is “the party that cares about every single person, black or white, Christian or Jewish.” (Unless they’re conservatives and not when they’re having dinner w/@LouisFarrakhan)
“Rattling off different demographics, he one by one checks all the identity politics boxes. Democrats are the party of “voting rights” and “civil rights,” as well as the party of “women’s rights” and “LGBTQ rights.”
“Democrats are also somehow the exclusive defenders of “the Americans with Disabilities Act” and “the environment.” Summing up, Booker declares Democrats “the party of we, not the party of me. It is the party of inclusion, not the party of exclusion.” 😂😂😂
