Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Deranged Cory Booker is still calling the LA riots “peaceful”: “The reality is, we are seeing peaceful protests launching in Los Angeles.” From Libs of TikTok 1:02 PM · Jun 8, 2025

Right-wing pundits ripped New Jersey Senator Cory Booker for making a gesture that they likened Nazi salute at the conclusion of a speech Saturday night — and compared it to the move Elon Musk made that was ripped by liberals. The Garden State Democrat made the gesture at a Democratic convention in California — placing his hand over his heart and then gesturing to the crowd with a straight arm and an open hand above shoulder height. Internet influencers were quick to jump on Booker’s salute, and wonder where the outrage is when there was so much criticism by Booker’s...

New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker are holding a livestreamed sit-in protest and discussion on Sunday from the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Titled "An Urgent Conversation with the American People," the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress' return to session on Monday. A statement released by both officials' offices said in part, "Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump's desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to...

Booker sought 'campaign contributions based on his Senate floor speech,' watchdog group says.

In his marathon 25-hour speech this week, it seems unlikely that a lachrymose Sen. Cory Booker gave even a passing thought to the mothers of Dashon Harvey, Terrence Aeriel, Natasha Aeriel, and Iofemi Hightower. If he had, he would not have dared ask America to “think about” the wife and child of an MS-13 gangster shipped off to El Salvador. Booker knows who these mothers are. I am sure he met them. He was mayor of Newark, N.J. when their children were sexually assaulted and/or murdered in a Newark playground by a gang of illegal aliens. I know about these...

Nothing stirs us to outrage more quickly than the combination of theatrical self-righteousness and brazen dishonesty from a cold-blooded liar. Of course, nothing of consequence ever seems to happen to such people. In Washington, D.C., they receive promotions. Tuesday on the Senate floor, Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California had the 14-karat chutzpah to speak of “truth” and “decency” after years spent peddling known lies about President Donald Trump having colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. “Truth should matter to us,” Schiff said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. God showed infinite mercy...

When asked if President Joe Biden will secure the southern border, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said: “Yes.” At the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked the senator: “Will President Biden secure the southern border?” Booker replied, “Will President Biden secure the southern border? Yes!” In a follow-up question, CNSNews.com asked, “Do you know if he’s making any efforts to do so now?” Booker, who serves on the Senate Judiciary and Foreign Relations committees, responded, “Again, you can look at the news and see what he’s doing. That’s a question you might want to ask him.” In the first week of...

Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz was so impressed by the record-breaking speech by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) this week that he thinks the Democratic Party may have a new leader in its midst. “I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history,” he told NewsNation’s Leland Vittert. Booker spoke for a record 25 hours and 4 minutes as he railed against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, generating viral moments on social media. “What I saw over the last 25 hours absolutely blew me away,” Luntz admitted, then...

VIDEOIt is now an important piece of American history. The urine-soaked diaper which Senator Spartacus aka Cory Booker wore to break the filibuster record in the U.S. Senate. Or, more accurately, the FAKE filibuster record since this "filibuster" unlike real filibusters did NOT delay any Senate legislation or nominations. For both these reasons, the record books will always show an asterisk by the name of Senator Spartacus next to his "filibuster" entry.

Capitol Police arrested a staffer for Sen. Cory Booker who was carrying a gun Monday evening, hours after the New Jersey Democrat kicked off a marathon “filibuster” speech in the upper chamber. “Yesterday afternoon a Member of Congress led an IDed staff member around security screening at the Hart Senate Office Building. Later that evening, outside the Senate Galleries, the IDed staff member — who is a retired law enforcement officer — told our officers he was armed,” a rep for US Capitol Police said in a statement Tuesday. “The staff member, 59-year-old Kevin A. Batts of New Jersey, was...

VIDEOWhat do you do if you are a Drama Queen famous for overacting? Why, you go on a highly performative fake filibuster if you are Senator Spartacus aka Cory Booker. It was a fake filibuster because, unlike a REAL filibuster, it did not delay either legislation or nominations. It was strictly Senator Spartacus auditioning to run for president again. And the end result was not strange new respect for him but just more laughter directed at Senator Spartacus grandstanding in a most ridiculous manner yet again.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) launched a marathon speech on the Senate floor Tuesday evening to protest Trump administration policies and vowed to speak for "as long as I am physically able to." The big picture: Booker said in video posted to media ahead of his speech that began at 7pm ET that he was heading to the Senate floor because President Trump and Elon Musk "have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the...

TRENTON, N.J. — President Donald Trump on Monday named his one-time defense attorney and current White House counselor Alina Habba to be the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Habba, who turns 41 Tuesday, takes over the interim post from John Giordano, whom the president said he's naming to be the U.S. ambassador for the southwestern African country of Namibia. A partner in a small New Jersey law firm near Trump’s Bedminster golf course, Habba served as a senior adviser for Trump's political action committee, defended him in court in several civil lawsuits and acted as a spokesperson last year...

The only problem? Senators are FORBIDDEN from making money doing speaking engagements. Is Cory Booker VIOLATING Senate law? It looks like it. Senate Rules: Senate Rule XXXVI bans honoraria. Senators cannot accept fees for speeches, lectures, or public appearances tied to their official duties. Exceptions exist for travel, lodging, and meals, but these are capped and must be disclosed. - Legal Limits: Federal law (5 U.S.C. § 7351) reinforces that congressional members cannot profit from outside speaking gigs while in office. The maximum outside income for 2025 is set at 15% of their base salary ($174,000), or about $26,100 annually,...

VIDEOWhen I saw this intro on CNN's "State Of The Union" I immediately broke out laughing. Senator Spartacus aka Cory Booker put on a highly contrived look of grim determination or what he thought was his War Face. Yes, he thinks his War Face will serve as an inspiration for the opposition to President Trump. Spartacus 2028? The other candidates better start working on their war faces.

As President Trump works nonstop to keep his promises and clean up the chaotic mess Biden left behind, another major battle is unfolding: confirmation hearings. (snip) This time, things are different—thanks to billionaire Nicole Shanahan. Like the rest of America, she’s had enough of the political games, and she’s putting her money where her mouth is. She’s now vowing to make it her personal mission to take down any Senator who refuses to support RFK Jr. If these turncoats won’t back him, she’ll make sure they lose their seats. And she’s not just making threats—Nicole has a plan and is...

People in South Jersey say they are feeling the crunch after their summer electric bills skyrocketed. Many say they were shocked to see their Atlantic City Electric bills increase, in some cases doubling, and they want answers. Shannon Franke, an AC Electric customer, said she was shocked when she got her most recent bill in the mail. She went from owing $434 in June, to $780 in July. By August she owed $1,032

One month following the near-assassination of President Trump, elected Democrats still seem to have a fascination with violent words. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper. He boasted that Democrats could finally “kill the MAGA Strain” of the Republican Party by voting to elect Kamala Harris in November. “What I know this election can do is finally kill that (MAGA) strain of the Republican Party,” Booker told Tapper. The host did not attempt to push back on Booker’s comment.

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the November election could “kill” the MAGA strain of the Republican Party. Host Jake Tapper said, “America is wanted for a new chapter. America is ready for a better story a, new, chapter. I mean, she’s the incumbent vice president. Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years. How can Democrats talk about a new chapter? Turning the page, you guys are the ones writing the book?” Booker said, “Well, you know that that’s not true, Jake, because you know, politics like...

He's steadfastly maintained his innocence, but Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) was convicted by a federal jury in New York on Tuesday on 16 charges, including bribery, extortion, acting as a foreign agent, obstruction of justice, and several counts of conspiracy. Since his indictment, Menendez has batted away calls for him to resign his Senate seat, including by fellow Democratic Senator John Fetterman (PA). However, on Wednesday, Menendez reportedly told allies that would, indeed, resign.WASHINGTON — Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., has told allies that he will resign from Congress after being convicted on federal corruption charges, two people directly familiar with...
