@CoryBooker Bottom line, people can distrust Booker for his earlier pro-Wall Street positions. But he’s in his policies/rhetoric today taking aim at the powerful, he’s not doing centrist submerged tax credit bullshit.
@CoryBooker Watch this speech about power, farming, race, and big business by Booker. It is unlike what you’ve heard from anyone else.
