Cory Booker Shed ‘Tears of Rage’ Over 'Sh—hole' Comment
washingtontimes.com ^ | January 16, 2018

Sen. Cory Booker found himself compared to actor Tommy Wiseau of “The Room” on Tuesday after raising his voice during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

An angry exchange with Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen became one of the top tending stories on Twitter this week when Mr. Booker recounted “tears of rage” over comments attributed to Mr. Trump.

The New Jersey Democrat scolded Ms. Nielsen for “amnesia” when she testified under oath that she never heard the president refer to “sh—hole” countries during policy negotiations.

“When [Illinois senator] Dick Durbin called me, I had tears of rage when I heard about this experience in that meeting. And for you not to feel that hurt and that pain — and to dismiss some of the questions of my colleagues saying, ‘I already answered that line of questions’ — when tens-of-millions of Americans are hurting right now […] that’s unacceptable to me,” Mr. Booker said.

He's mentally unstable; he freely admits it. He should be expelled from the Senate.

Cory Booker wants to run for POTUS in 2020. That’s all you need to know, to understand his histrionics over a word on Monday. It was all theater.

“I had tears of rage when I heard about this experience in that meeting.”

She wasn’t even there, but he felt rate, therefore he knows it happened.

“tens-of-millions of Americans are hurting right now “

She makes up statistic saying how many people are supposedly hurting. Therefore she knows what Trump said, even though he wasn’t in the room.

She uses her subjective emotional state as proof of an objective factual allegation. I believe Sen. Booker is becoming psychotic, and needs a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether she is still fit to serve as a Senator. Either that, or a psychologist to go on a talk show and say that she is not.

“but he felt rate, therefore he knows it happened.” = but she felt rage, therefore she knows it happened.

Obviously Booker is running for President. Unfortunately for him we’ve already had the failed black male president. Black, lesbian president is the next gimmick.

The audio and photo I saw were all Booker. He was hysterical. He emoted unopposed. There was no exchange I heard and all the anger was from him.

Judge Napolitano on FBN now defending Booker’s attack on Neilsen. Bartiromo is furious at both Booker and Napolitano.

Cory was angry because he naturally assumed Trump was talking about Newark.

Saw this exchange. Talking to a woman like that, I thought, was
disrespectful and abusive.

If a Republican had acted that way towards a woman all hell would have broken loose.
24-7 coverage as an example of the Republican war on women and misogyny.

Bat crap crazy.

His behavior was completely out of line.

She was in a room full of people & scattered background talk. NO ONE could hear every word spoken under those conditions.

Booker needs to apologize to her.

Then again, he is openly demonstrating the Democrats attempts to bully anyone who supports Trump.

Hypocrite. They all decry BULLYING, but then, they do more of it than anyone else.

He’s more than a clown, he’s a punk who needs to be taught some manners.
