Booker's 'Spartacus' Circus Act

Booker's 'Spartacus' Circus Act
Thomas Gallatin
"I am going to release the email about racial profiling and I
understand that the penalty comes with potential ousting from
the Senate," Sen. Cory Booker (D-2020) dramatically announced on
Thursday, the final day of the hearings for Supreme Court
nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
He further opined of these Kavanaugh records and his actions,
"I hope that they will bring charges against us and I am ready
to accept with full responsibility what I have done."
In what might best be described as the climax of Booker's
disingenuous theatrics, he waxed eloquent, "This is about the
closest I'll probably ever have in my life to an 'I am
Spartacus' moment."
Before nominating him for an Academy Award, there's just one
problem: Soon after the performance was over, the claims of
Booker's "rebellion" quickly began to fall apart.
First, regarding the "confidentiality" of the emails, a
representative from the George W. Bush library records, Bill
Burck, stated, "We cleared the documents last night shortly
after Senator Booker's staff asked us to."
He added, "We were surprised to learn about Senator Booker's
histrionics this morning because we had already told him he
could use the documents publicly.
In fact, we have said yes to every request made by the Senate
Democrats to make documents public."
And the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed that "restrictions
were waived before 4 a.m. this morning and made ready for
release.
The senators were notified of this before speaking began this
morning." So, in short, the emails were not confidential and
Booker was fully aware of this fact before he introduced them as
such.
Second, Booker's claim that the emails seemingly revealed that
Kavanaugh had expressed racial bias by having approved of the
practice of "racial profiling" proved to be unfounded — in fact,
they showed exactly the opposite.
In commenting on racial profiling following the government's
response to national security issues after the 9/11 attacks,
Kavanaugh wrote, "The people who favor some use of race/natl
origin [sic] obviously do not need to grapple with the 'interim'
question. But the people (such as you and I), who generally
favor effective security measures that are race-neutral in fact
DO need to grapple — and grapple now — with the interim question
of what to do before a truly effective and comprehensive
race-neutral system is developed and implemented."
Clearly, Kavanaugh was concerned about race in profiling.
Finally, the real reason behind Booker's theatrics is his
posturing for a 2020 presidential run.
In an interview on Fox News, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) observed,
"That's not the Cory Booker that I know that I watched on
television.
That is someone that is trying to position himself as the
frontrunner so he can take on Donald Trump."
This explains why in a CNN interview, Booker continued to stick
to his demonstrably false narrative, repeatedly insisting, "I am
breaking the rules.
I am breaking the sham rules."
You see, he needs to maintain his "street cred" as a resistance
warrior or risk losing his leftist base.

Poor Republicans aren't used to seeing anyone use their backbone
to stand up for what's right. They're all too busy shoving
their noses up Trump's ass.
Good for Booker and the Dems who are not just letting this
nomination slide through without a fight.

Finally, a true patriot! Thank God for Cory Booker! We will
NOT hand our country and our rights over without a fight!

I wish he wouldn't have said that Spartacus crap.
That was bogus on his part, but I still respect Booker for
trying to expose this POS, Kavanaugh.
