Cory Booker Had ‘Tears Of Rage’ When He Heard ‘S***hole’ Comment [VIDEO]
Daily Caller ^ | January 16, 2018 | Amber Athey

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker seethed with anger over Trump’s alleged “shithole countries” comment during a hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

During a hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Nielsen faced numerous questions about Trump’s alleged insistence that countries like Haiti and African countries are “shithole countries.”

“I hurt,” Booker cried. “When Dick Durbin called me I had tears of rage when I heard about this experience in this meeting.”

“For you not to feel that hurt and that pain and to dismiss some of the questions of my colleagues saying, ‘I’ve already answered that line of questions’ when tens of millions of Americans are hurting right now because of what they’re worried about right now in the White House — that’s unacceptable to me,” Booker yelled at Nielsen.

Booker claimed that he receives “enough death threats” and sees enough “people plotting” that Trump’s comments cause him to become enraged.

“Your silence and your amnesia is complicity,” he concluded.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only person using any bad language in public is Senator Durbin. Shouldn’t Senator Booker take his concern up with Senator Durbin?

If Cory Booker cried about that then she might not be cut out to be a U.S. senator.

I really don’t understand these people. I would like to, I think, but I simply don’t get his position. I don’t understand why any American would be offended even if he said what he didn’t say.

The overwhelming majority of blacks in this country (liberal leftists included) are natural born U.S. citizens.

My momma talk to me
Try to tell me how to live
But I don’t listen to her
‘Cause my head is like a sieve

My daddy, he disowned me
‘Cause I wear my sisters clothes
He caught me in the bathroom
With a pair of pantyhose

My basketball coach
He just kick me off the team
For wearing high heels sneakers
And acting like a queeeeeeeeeeeeen

The former mayor of Newark-— definition of a s-hole (with an airport one is often forced to fly into, to then have to get OUT of). And it’s sister city— Jersey City.

Booker is such a fraud... utterly a fraud grafter.

Booker should go to Haiti and help shovel the Shiite for the locals.

LOL. This guy is such a drama queen. Does anyone honestly believe that he was crying “tears of rage” just because Donald Trump called some countries “s__holes”??? He thinks that saying things like this will put him on the national stage and advance his presidential ambitions. They just make him look like a clown.

There ARE shithole countries.

Sh*tholes are violent, overrun with corruption and the ‘little people’ are miserable. Did you know that Amber Athey ?

Pretending this is NOT true is a crime against the powerless... a crime against reality. This fool believes the Potemkin villages are nice places to live.

Amber Athey a fool.
