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.'"
This guy is a fucking Zionist clown and a stooge for venture capital. I'm old enough to remember when Obama would take shots at Romney in the 2012 election for Romney's founder status at Bain Capital. Booker, perhaps simply for love of the game, defended Bain Capital for seemingly no reason other than to get pats on the shoulders from Republicans
And what is this doofus doing now? Wagging his finger at Trump for theatrical reasons. This keeps getting called a filibuster but there's not specific legislation Booker is trying to kill. There's no bill he's trying to stop.
All this fire and gusto to stand around while he eagerly votes for bills to send yet another billion dollars to the Zionist Entity. Fuck this guy. I hope he enjoys hell.
the literal moment his speech stunt was over, the trump appointment for NATO ambassador was unanimously confirmed with zero resistance. these spineless fucks stand for nothing, it's all for show. props to Booker for the best April fools day prank I've ever seen in my life.
Well come on now, support for NATO is a bipartisan consensus! If anything, it's now a middle finger to Trump!
Citation needed
To what? Booker's publicly available voting record?
That would be a helpful source, but that isnt the best because bills are stuffed with so many different things that it could be misleading
Better would be a reputable source that quotes him saying that he supports Zionism.

Translation: I made this up
You think I made up that Booker is a Zionist? I'll cite whatever but I don't understand what I'm being asked to cite.
Wtf. Cite every claim. This is the internet.
Why do you think you wouldn't need to cite facts here? Gtfo if you think you can spread misinformation
I don't owe you shit, but here you go: https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press/booker-statement-on-israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal
From Cory Booker's own website in regards to the recent ceasefire:
He's a Zionist. He says right there on his own website that Israel has a right to exist as specifically an ethnonationalist state. That's what a Zionist is. It's someone who supports the creation/maintenance of a ethnically/religiously Jewish nation-state in the region of Palestine with Palestinian Arabs either disenfranchised, made a minority, or completely removed. A Zionist supports Israel as a sovereign Jewish homeland with a Jewish identity along with a nation-state apparatus to enforce this status as homeland.

As you see, he's taken $893,998 from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is a Zionist lobbying group.
Do you want any further citations? Here is an opensecrets.org search for Zionist lobbying money to various politicians. If you are skeptical of opensecrets, it's used as a unbiased source of information for AP, the Washington Post, Politico, NBC News, NPR, and the New York Times. Opensecrets cites Federal Election Comission data, which is public information.

And, you dont owe it to me. You do owe it to this Lemmy community.

"UHHH SOURCE?"
