Senator Cory Booker Jabs Democrats for Enabling Trump’s Agenda

Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) sharply criticized his Democratic peers during a heated Senate floor debate, labeling them as “complicit” with President Donald Trump and urging the party to undergo a pivotal transformation, as reported by USA Today. This outburst occurred on Tuesday, July 29, amidst an attempt by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) to expedite a bipartisan initiative designed to enhance funding and resources for police departments. Booker interrupted this movement, proposing an amendment to ensure public safety grants are administered impartially. In response, Cortez Masto accused him of hypocrisy, pointing out his previous silence on the legislation’s passage from the Senate Judiciary Committee weeks earlier. She termed his actions an effort to derail the bills. Booker retorted by bemoaning the party’s complacency in the face of Trump's constitutional violations and urged Democrats to unite for a stronger stance. "If we don’t stand as Democrats, we deserve to lose," he asserted passionately.
