Earlier today 2020 presidential candidate and New Jersey Democrat Senator Cory Booker made quite the scene at Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing.
Daring Republicans to expel him from the Senate, Booker vowed to knowingly break Senate rules by releasing confidential Committee documents and accused Kavanaugh of having something hide.
DOCUMENTS:
--Rs say the "committee confidential" docs were cleared for release before 4 a.m.
--Ds say the docs were cleared for release at about 10:31 a.m. this morning
--REGARDLESS, they were cleared for public release before Booker and Hirono posted them on their websites.— Seung Min Kim (@seungminkim) September 6, 2018

But it turns out the documents Booker "heroically" released, even saying this was his "Spartacus moment," had already been cleared for publication at 4 a.m. this morning.
Therefore, he didn't actually break any rules. He was simply grandstanding.
So, now we're being told (by Committee staffers) that SenBooker knew BEFORE he made these statements - that the documents in question had already been cleared for release. That's a significant claim to make, so I've asked his office directly. Will update if/when I get response. https://t.co/lNxx3wEVCZ— Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) September 6, 2018
Others were cleared last night.

Further, it takes 2/3 of the Senate to expel a Senator. Booker knew going into this morning's hearing that would never happen and made his statements anyway.
Booker's grandstanding fell apart faster than his story about his non-existent friend "T-Bone."
His constituents back home know he’s a liar and a fraud, and voted for him anyway. He’s showing them that he hasn’t changed.
It was NEVER about what was actually IN the documents, it is about what the Media Headlines SAY is in the documents.
Remember, these Democrats earnestly believe that their liberal followers and slave voters are dumber than rocks, and easily manipulated.
He’s a moron
What a blankety blank idiot.
He waxes poetic about civil disobedience, as if he’s Martin Luther King. And all the time he knew he faced no sanctions for releasing those documents. What a blank.
LIAR! LIAR! HAIR ON FIRE!................................oh, wait..................
Those aren't character flaws, they're qualifications.
Is Booker still beating his wife? Just askin’
Can’t believe there are so many stupid freeloading liberals in NJ to vote for Booker. By the which is his good eye? I get confused looking at his eyes looking in 2 different directions.
By his own words, he was breaking the rules. Expel him anyway!
Better question is when did Booker stopped beating his wife!
He did make a complete ass of himself.

The guy is a liar (Cory Booker’s Imaginary Friend)
The senate mulatto minstrel show of harris/booker lacked enough talent to consider it entertaining.
Just waiting for President Trump to twitter a name that will stick like glue. Lol. Lying eyes Booker is one candidate.
Do a search on Google. Even at this point they’re running cover for him.
Blowback on a Blowhard!
Bolsheviks lie, deceive, manipulate, and shout down, their opponents as well as their constituents. That’s what they do. We need to start calling the democrats what they are. COMMUNISTS!
If they ever get power keep your powder dry Brothers.
Menendez too. But he may be defeated.
