Booker: Trump Policies ‘Literally’ Could ‘Cause People’s Death’

WFB: Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker said Donald Trump’s policies could “literally” cause people to die, during the same interview where he called for “radical love” in politics.

During an interview on “Pod Save America,” the New Jersey senator told former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, “I do what I have to do to get shit done,” before flip-flopping on his position in favor of the Senate filibuster.

Booker blamed the budget reconciliation process for eroding the Senate, which requires only a simple majority and was first used during the Obama administration to make changes to Obamacare after Sen. Ted Kennedy’s death.

He said reconciliation has allowed the Republican majority to do “awful things,” such as allowing most Americans to keep more of their money.

“I understand that the erosion of the Senate, already, has allowed this [Republican] party to do awful things, Trump tax cut, for example,” Booker said. “And if I was president I want people to know very tactfully, let’s talk tactics, I will use reconciliation to roll back the Trump tax credits, and do the kind of things that I think to have a tax system that reflects our values, our morals, and frankly what is better for our economy.”

Booker acknowledged that the leftward pull of his party is urging him to accept the position of eliminating the filibuster, which requires a 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. Just two months ago Booker said, “We should not be doing anything to mess with the strength of the filibuster.”  more here

  1. On the other hand, Joe Biden, when reached for comment said, “I’ll do anything I can to support filly-bustin and grabbin.”

    Seriously, do you think anybody considers Cory Booker relevant or even current? New Jersey? The last Governor (before Booker) carried more weight!

  2. what a douCHE . I don’t care how many corks this guy has smoked, nor that he likes poles in the pooper, but the sooner people wake up, the better. I would not discount any of the 50 commies running for 2020, between rampant voter fraud, crooked registrars and an ignorant electorate, ANYTHING can happen.

  3. Cory Booker and democrats cause people to die everyday, by standing by and letting killers walk across our border, instead of doing something. What’s his/their excuse for letting that happen??? Wake the F up dead brain.

  4. I wish he’d stop sharing his juvenile nightmares with the public, passing them off as ‘policy’. We just don’t care, you desperate twit.

    My dog makes better demoncrat policy in the back yard, than any of the demoncrats jumping into the clown car

    Translation: “I need your money to pay for all the crap we are promising to get elected!”

  6. Corey Booker walks into a bar and orders a beer. While sitting there, the bat stool collapes. Booker falls to floor, cracks hos head open and his pea brain spills all over the floor. The bartender looks down at him and says: “That’ll be 7 bucks, pal. And 20 to fix the stool you broke.”
