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.

All RATs in DC should be in a padded cell together, IMO.

If she had been a black conservative, they might have even been meaner to her.

My point is very simple, just because she’s a woman she shouldn’t have a different standard applied to her.

She took this job willingly and had to know that a lot of grief would come with it

Maybe he got some bad crack... of one kind or another.

[Albion Wilde]

Grandstanding. He basically called her a liar and a racist. Eat it, Corey.

My point, very simply, is that no adult should be shouted at especially in front of a viewing audience. How dare he? I don’t care if he did it to a man or a woman it is degrading and humiliating to be spoken to in that tone and at that volume.

"She pushed my hand away. So then I grabbed her breastisses with both hands!"

[hawkaw]

This guy is a real piece of work. He assaults a woman and then does crap like he did today. Yeah ... right ...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Resign your office, charlatan. There is nothing of America in you.

[SkyPilot]

Lolololol.

That's a keeper.

Miss Nielsen should have stood up and walked out rather than accept that moron’s abuse.

I agree- she should have.

You're probably right but she also should guts and composure by staying put.

I also agree! BTW — I thought the RATs were the anti-bullying party. (sarc)

[The Toll]

Just another Black guy attacking a white woman. Happens thousands of times a day in s...hole Democrat cities.

She should have started laughing at him uncontrollably.
