Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) openly brawled with Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) over law enforcement bills favored by the latter two on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon.

“Sadly, this is not what the Justice Department is doing,” argued Booker. “Rather than supporting law enforcement agencies and officers equally across the nation, they are weaponizing public safety grants to punish state and local jurisdictions that resist the Trump policy agenda, including my home state of New Jersey.”

“It is disgraceful. It is unfair. It is unjust. And it is dangerously reckless towards the officers whose wellbeing they are jeopardizing,” continued the senior senator from New Jersey before calling it “outrageous.”

Cortez Masto then objected to Booker’s call for amendments to be added to the bills to prevent the Trump administration from taking the action he described.

1. Sadly, Cory has his own inconsistencies in opposing Taco.

I'm all for calling for a united front, but then he needs to be part of it. All the time.

9. 100% true

2. After seeing only a little bit of this, Booker came off as a bit too emotive and performative.

I felt I was watching a snippet made for a campaign commercial. This is what I want to see against Republicans, not fellow Democrats.

3. We need all of this directed toward trump/rethuglicans

Not each other.

4. That's for damn sure!

The last thing we need right now is Democrats attacking each other.

5. A + 1000 Amen!

Good grief, can't the Democrats figure that part out!!!!

6. we're all frustrated

But it's critical to not attack those who are doing something, just because it's not how we would like them to be doing it.

I think a step towards this is not castigating Senator Booker for this. He's upset and wants to see change. I forgive him for his misdirected anger.

8. Agree!

7. While this is performative on Booker's part

No Dem should advance, enable, support, or vote for ANY MAGA policy, law, or program.
