Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, is well known as a bigot and anti-Semite.

It’s ‘historic’ for such a disreputable person to make claims against a fellow Senator.

Trump shocked Democrats with the inroads made into the black vote, turf which Democrats had considered theirs by birthright. The opposition to Senator Sessions is designed not so much to derail the nomination but to restore wayward African-Americans to voting the party line into which Trump had driven a wedge. There are many Democrats senators for whom this departure of black Democrat voters will be very important in 2018.

The Democrats must stop this demographic from dispassionately analyzing which party represents their interests and restore them to reflexive support of the Democratic Party out of fear, envy, and dependency. To do that these party leaders must play the race card to the useful idiots of American political discourse. The Sessions nomination is the convenient issue

Nathan Bedford's first maxim of American politics: all politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.

There is no reason why Cory Booker cannot be assailed for his record of anti-Semitism while he is testifying. It is time that these Democrats paid a price for Borking. Let them be humiliated on national television.
