Cory Booker REALLY wants you to believe he’s an outraged, principled, rule-breaker who’s willing to fall on the sword if it means revealing “the truth.” In reality, it’s exactly the opposite. He’s a charlatan who’s using a phony, self-indulgent, piece of theatre to prop up his midterm and 2020 efforts.
Yesterday, both Dan and I wrote about his “Spartacus moment.” Booker announced that he was going to break the rules by releasing some of Brett Kavanaugh’s supposedly-damning confidential documents. These, we were led to believe, would show the world the kind of monster Donald Trump was appointing to the Supreme Court. If that meant expulsion from the Senate, so be it. A man like Cory Booker is too brave and edgy to care about such things.
