New Jersey senator’s choice of words could have been more tactfully phrased given former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated just weeks ago.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) claimed on CNN that the upcoming election could “finally kill” the MAGA offshoot of the Republican Party.
Interesting choice of words.
“State of the Union” host Jake Tapper began his line of questioning by rightly pointing out that the Democrats have controlled the White House for most of the last 16 years.
“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?” Tapper asked Booker.
Booker pushed back, claiming Republicans have been responsible for stymying “pragmatic progress.”
“Well, you know that that’s not true, Jake, because you know, politics like I do right now, we see the MAGA Republicans in Congress killing all kind of pragmatic policies that we need to get done,” Booker explained.
“On the most contentious issue we had a bipartisan deal settle on by Senator Lankford are right-wing Republican and Chris Murphy, a blue state Democrat. And what killed that deal, what killed the pragmatic progress, wasn’t the sensible Republicans, but really people that were kowtowing to Donald Trump whose influence is egregious and incredible from his appointment of three people to the Supreme Court that are now rolling back the most fundamental of our rights and freedoms like bodily autonomy and reproductive rights.”
“So to say that the MAGA Republicans are not still undermining common sense pragmatic, sensible politics is just wrong and what I know this election can do is finally kill that strain of the Republican Party in a way that I think helps the pragmatic Republicans come back.”
Given former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated just 42 days ago, Booker’s choice of words should have been more tactfully phrased.
And what would killing the MAGA Republican movement look like if Dems win the election?
Well, according to top Democrats, re-education camps would definitely be on the table.
