Cory Booker just shot himself in the foot.
This lie against President Trump is perhaps the most disgusting thing Booker ever said.
And now, it’s blowing up in his face in a major way.
Cory Booker’s presidential campaign is turning out to be one of the biggest busts in political history.
The New Jersey Senator was expected to play big in the Democratic primary process, but his star seems to be fading day by day.
Eager to get his name out in the highly competitive primary, Booker has resorted to making outrageous statements in a bid to keep his name ID up.
This explains his absurd “Spartacus” comments during the 2018 nomination hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
And now, Booker has done it again.
Only this time, his comments completely blew up in his face.
Breitbart reports, “Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) claimed, falsely, in an interview Tuesday on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews that Trump “couldn’t condemn Nazis.”
Booker was speaking on MSNBC, perhaps the most vocal left-wing news outlet in America when he made the disgusting assertion.
Chris Matthews lobbed Booker perhaps one of the weakest soft-ball questions of all time when he simply stated, “The guy who did the shooting down in New Zealand cited our president in his manifesto.”
It was such a piece of red meat for Matthews’ audience, that it wasn’t even presented as a question, simply a statement meant to implicate the President in a shooting that occurred half-way around the world.
Booker took the bait and decided to make a horrible comment about the President, and one that is absolutely untrue.
“Yeah. but it’s not only hate in New Zealand. We have hate groups here. We have hate leaders, David Duke and others that see him as their president,” Booker said.
“Here’s a guy that couldn’t condemn Nazis, whose bigoted language from the time of the campaign — talk about pulling the race card. He came down that escalator and started talking about Mexicans and Muslims, started talking about the divisions in America.”
Booker’s comments were slammed for their inaccuracy and dangerous lack of decorum.
Scott Adams, the man best known for creating the Dilbert Comics, slammed Booker’s comments as helping to make “a worse place with Nazi hoaxes.”
The claim that Trump had not condemned Nazis is universally untrue.
“As noted by Breitbart News, Trump condemned Nazis several times, and also disavowed David Duke several times, though the media and other Democrats continue to claim otherwise,” commented Breitbart.
“In fact, Trump was referring to peaceful protesters who had gathered to demonstrate against the removal of a Confederate statue, as well as to the peaceful protesters who opposed the neo-Nazis. He specifically excluded the neo-Nazis from “very fine people.”
Trump’s condemnation of Nazism is well documented.
But that won’t deter Booker, who is more interested in scoring political points than he is in being accurate.
But Booker’s comments are setting a dangerous precedent whereby emotions trump facts.
