**SNIP**

In passionate remarks that often had the room of Iowa Democrats on their feet, Booker answered the request, speaking of unity and encouraging voters to fight back.

“It is not a time to give up, it’s a time to get up, to rise up, to speak up,” he said. “It’s time for you not to wait for hope, but to be the hope.”

Booker, who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, showed the intensity at the Iowa fundraising gala Saturday that he showed during the hearings, when he had a self-described “Spartacus moment,” announcing he would release confidential documents from Kavanaugh’s time with the George W. Bush White House to the public.

“Even in the face of defeat, we cannot be defeated. Even when we’re knocked down, we can never be knocked out,” Booker said Saturday.

These are my votes for the three biggest losers in this affair:

1. Spartacus.
2. Murk. That picture of her cowering before ChiSpiDiFi will destroy any attempts for her to characterize herself as a tough independent woman.
3. And, of course, ChiSpi DiFi, who ought to end up in jail over this.

Booker is a faggie. That makes him golden to the MSM. No criticism allowed, ever.

Booker actually makes Obama look manly by comparison and that is hard to do.

We already elected a smooth-talking socialist as POTUS and that didn’t turn out well.

“It’s time for you not to wait for Hope, but to be the hope.”

Just what in hell does that mean, anyhow???

I can just imagine a bunch of Iowa farmers pondering THAT one, just before soiling themselves with uncontrollable laughter.

At least Obama was articulate. Booker sure isn’t.

“”What’s his platform? Let’s have a national race riot?””

Doesn’t sound any different than obozo, does he? Must be obozo is going to be his campaign chairman or at least his speech writer...

BTW, there was also something recently in the news about Kamala Harris going to Iowa. Maybe they’re trying to get something by pushing feminist buttons on good ol’ girls or sugar daddies. ...don’t know.

BOOKER'S FAMOUS LAST WORDS (soon to become a Uber driver).

"We're sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives manipulating everything we do."

I bet he is.

You know I feel Corey’s pain. I do. It hurts inside of him because he just isn’t allowed to do what he wants to do.

How fortunate for us all.

“Does ABC news ever write puff pieces like this about Republicans? Was that the silliest question ever?”

No. They never copy PR releases verbatim for our people.

I wish that "quotation" was accurate, but I think it is a bit of satire from the Babylon Bee. Booker probably thinks it, but I am not so sure he actually said it.
