Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Credit should be given where due: Sen. Booker is about to make history in less than an hour, breaking the record for the longest filibuster in US history.

Edit: He did it! Now it's on every American and person around the world to resist the Trump administration.

That's fair enough, I absolutely agree that his resolve is notable and his voice should be elevated, but will we see that happen in reality?

Booker is a staunch zionist. He should be in prison for supporting the killing of Palestinians.
