en. Cory Booker, D-N.J., was enraged during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday and admitted he was "seething with anger" over President Trump's alleged "shithole comments" and a Cabinet official's statement that she did not recall the incident.

“I had tears of rage," Booker bellowed at Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen in reference to when he first heard of Trump's "shithole countries" remark last week. "And for you not to feel that hurt and that pain and to dismiss the questions of my colleagues, with tens of millions Americans hurting right now because they're worried about what happened in the White House ..."

"When the commander in chief speaks or refuses to speak, those words don't just dissipate like mist in the air. They fester. They become poison. They give license to bigotry and hate in our country," he said.

"When ignorance and bigotry is allied with power, it's a dangerous force in our country. Your silence and your amnesia is complicity," Booker told Nielsen.

I thought he was “up” on sex charges?

This is reminding me too much of high school thugs trying to intimidate young women like Kirstjen and saying you racist because you don’t want to date me. I don’t think Booker and his fellow thugs will win the fight that they seem to be picking.

So where is your prom picture with her? 😀

He was a horrible horrible mayor so they elect him senator. If he was white, no way he could pull that off.

If he truly reacted like he says, then he needs medicine and therapy and should resign. Honestly.

Interesting that he goes after somebody with a Scandinavian name.

There will be more hearings to sort this thing out.

[boycott]

Need to ban immigrants from S@#$^hole countries so we don’t get more Bookers. This nation would be so great without these clowns.

Oh damn I dated her too.

GREAT sense of humor!!

“Cory Booker demonstrates how the boogieman knocked him down and bad touched him, all on orders from Trump!”

[Kazan]

This SOB didn’t give a hoot when Obama called Libya a “sh#t show.”

[Intolerant in NJ]

He’s just gotta work some more on his righteous indignation - I’m still not convinced he’s morally superior - what an embarrassment to the Senate and the state of New Jersey......

Will you concede that had she been black and Booker white this would never have happened? All I am saying is I am appalled at the double standard.

I am appalled that democrats can speak to a white republican woman (or man), any way they please without them ever being held accountable for their behavior.

Cory is OJ’n her. Good thing there were other people around.

Interesting that he goes after somebody with a Scandinavian name.

You noticed that too.....

Oh damn I dated her too.

That was only after I had to let her down easy and give Kirstjen her walking papers. Poor girl. She took it very hard you know.

Man, I think your comment cuts pretty close to the truth.

My oldest daughter is blonde and blue-eyed, and she had black guys in high school try that intimidation on her.

It didn't work.

Post #136 - good one. Right after that he and Barry Soetoro toured the other 56 states.

Nevertheless she persisted. Nice to see strong conservative women not backing down from a leftist thug.

Amen.
