Every politician has a go-to guy for black issues: A black person to keep it real with the latest information from the streets about riots, rampage and rap.
Senator Corey Booker’s guy is named T-Bone. Booker met T-Bone -- a drug dealer -- when Booker moved into The Ghetto of Newark during his second year of Yale Law School.
Booker started telling stories about T-Bone during his unsuccessful race for mayor of Newark in 2002. And many times in successful races after. T-Bone was the source of all knowledge and wisdom about the mean streets of that dirty and dangerous place.
And it worked: Stories of life and death in the hood were more entertaining than some Pointdexter from Yale lecturing black voters about new programs -- that were not really new.
One problem: T-Bone was a dream. A fairy tale. A lie.
A complete figment of Booker’s imagination.
Eliana Johnson at National Review nailed that story in 2013 -- a story many thought would break Booker. Turns out no one cared.
There are tons of videos on it, here is just one with a level of detail that can only be described as scary once you realize that Booker is giving an impassioned and extended and detailed speech about a person who does not exist.
About events that never happened.
Senator Marco Rubio also has a black friend who keeps it real.
Especially how black people are constant victims of constant racism all the time, everywhere, and that explains everything -- including why cops are always picking on black people For No Reason What So Ever.
Rubio put his black friend on display recently on Fox News to explain why the anti-cop, anti-white, anti-Asian,

The day he took office, the day he joined the Gang of Eight!
Golly gee, I have a black friend. See, I’m not a racist either.
He’s a Pander-Bear. Please don’t insult the weasels......................Red Badger..........
the day he became a lawyer
Rubio has always been a weasel but he does a very good job camouflaging it.
She was black, unarmed and gunned down by police. I'll bet they've never even heard of her.
Exactly right, when he schemed with Schumer against the citizens he showed us all what he’s made of.
...The day he was born....
I truly despise this weaselly candidate...He’s as slimy an opportunist as I’ve ever seen...in either party. I have no respect for him at all...and I wish the same fate for him that I do for Yebbie.
During his run for the legislature Rubio preached amnesty and open borders to La Raza and other Spanish speaking audiences. This was video recorded and put up on the Internet. I participated in many of the Free Republic threads about this at that time.
Simultaneously, he spoke to English speaking audiences about securing the border.
He had to be lying to one group or the other.
As it turned out, he was telling the truth about his intentions to La Raza.
Marco Rubio always was a weasel.
Comprehensive immigration reform bill is called the Chuck Schummer,Marco Rubio bill,do you need to look any further at that Rino?
Because deep in his Lily white latino elitist Skin Color DNA much like his wife....
He views himself as a minority like all non Euro Caucasian Christians do Here
It’s become institutional
Black Lies Matter
Weasals are born. It’s genetic.
I remember Baretta, with Robert Blake. At the right time in every episode, he would go look up his friend in the hood who would crawl out from under his dumpster and give the inside scoop on every crime that ever occurred in the city that Baretta happened to be working on. Street crime, white collar crime, high level mob wars, it didn’t matter, the guy who lived in the alley knew all about it.
When you are in public life you need a guy like that. To give you the inside scoop.
I wonder why its so hard for politicians to grasp that crime and poverty are functions of broken families and substance abuse. And can only be resolved by solving their twin causes (which are themselves closely interrelated).
Broken families and drugs. Its not that hard to understand and not that hard to fix. Marry and raise the kids together. Stay off drugs. Live honorably. And you will over time work your way out of the slums, and if your kids follow your example they will be saved from it too. Transitory poverty is something many people experience in their lives at various times, but only when you mix in broken families and drug abuse does it become hopeless.
No one speaking the truth is ever allowed near a TV microphone.
