So Cory Booker says it's ok for him to attack Biden, but not ok for Biden to attack him.

[redstateblues]

Look up desperate in the dictionary and Cory's picture is next to it. It's making him crazy that Biden has overwhelming numbers with POC. This will probably be the end of the road for him unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat and he doesn't have a hat!

1. Rev Al on MNSBC just warned about doing trump's work for him

in this context

[Kahuna7]

3. Oh Really??? Better late than never I guess. Booker is getting dragged...

again on twitter..

See the comments following this campaign announcement.

At his twitter feed, whenever he tweets something he's getting dragged.

5. Lol

17. That was good.

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. I'm no longer a fan of Booker, but some of those comments are disgusting, especially toward the end.

I think someone must have alerted the Fox News crowd.

[Cha]

11. Good to know! Thanks, Eve!

25. I listened to this segment on Sirus

I agree withe the Rev

[question everything]

2. I was really impressed by his talk during the 2016 convention

(and was surprised that we did not have an official keynote presenter).

Certainly was thinking what a fine candidate he would be. But, as posted here by many - a disappointment.

[onetexan]

7. still green around the edges. He's gotta get some years of national experience behind him. Not yet

ready for prime time

[Voltaire2]

4. Do you have a link to the quote where he says that?

[OKNancy]

6. One could certainly infer this by this clip

[Voltaire2]

9. So no, there is no quote from Booker

saying what the op claims he said.

Thanks!

[highplainsdem]

13. Here's an article from The Hill showing Booker's hypocrisy:

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/454924-booker-fires-back-at-biden-i-found-his-attacks-on-me-ridiculous


He's claiming his attacks on Biden are "substantive conversations about people's records."

Now that Biden's campaign has responded by pointing out problems with Booker's record, Booker is saying those are "attacks" and "ridiculous."

[Voltaire2]

15. Thanks again for confirming

That “So Cory Booker says it's ok for him to attack Biden, but not ok for Biden to attack him” is nonsense.

[highplainsdem]

16. Booker didn't use the words the OP attributes to him, but he meant something similar.

The subject line would have been completely correct if it had read "So Cory Booker thinks..."

The point is that Booker is whining about Biden's campaign looking critically at his record after he looked critically at BIden's.

Hypocrisy.

[Cha]

21. Wow.. Booker can't address Team

Biden's response with his record so he whines.. ".. attack.. ridiculous.." and his attacks on Biden are substantive?!

Gaslight much, Cory?

Not only are they Not "substantive".. they're ugly and mean-spirited.

Mr "peace and love" guy..

Cory Booker is sworn in as a U.S. senator in 2013 by then-Vice President Joe Biden. (John Munson |The Star-Ledger)

For Cory Booker, it’s no more Mr. Nice Guy

WASHINGTON — For Cory Booker, peace and love has given way to confrontation and criticism.

Booker, trailing in opinion polls and fundraising, has taken aim at former Vice President Joe Biden, the early frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.

For almost a month now, he has leveled attacks on Biden that are getting more personal — ignoring the rest of the Democratic field as well as his own campaign mantra of emphasizing a positive vision for America

But in being aggressive, Booker runs the risk of losing the brand that made him a contender in the first place. His new stance isn’t sitting well with some fellow Jersey Democrats.

“If I was asked to give advice, I would say, ‘Cory, I love you. Stay away from doing this,’” said Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., D-9th Dist. “'You have enough good qualities. You may get a few more headlines if you do it that way. It’s not worth it. It cheapens your own campaign, period.”

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-12th Dist., said she worried that confrontations between Democrats now will provide ammunition to President Donald Trump later.

18. Splitting hairs. His intention is pretty obvious

[Voltaire2]

28. Thanks again for confirming that the op

was just making it up.

[ucrdem]

8. Cory is turning himself into a punchline.

I'm sorry to see him go down this road.

[Cha]

23. Yes, his own

worst enemy.

[cwydro]

27. Gotta agree.

I’ve never been a fan, but he really seems to be making some very bad moves.

[Cha]

31. Thank you, cwydro..

[FloridaBlues]

10. Than Cory don't throw attacks in the first place.

If attacks are dished out expect that candidate to answer in kind.
Yes I agree desperate to get to 3% polling

[highplainsdem]

14. Oh, but Booker claims his attacks are "substantive conversations" about Biden's record,

while anything said about Booker's record is an "attack."

[redstateblues]

20. Oh please. It's pretty obvious what Booker's strategy is.

He is stuck with the 1%ers. He has no message other than to disparage Joe. It’s pathetic. Cory is not helping his future prospects. He’s intimated that Joe is not authentic. Weak.

[Gothmog]

19. Good luck with that

[Cha]

24. Yeah, Cory can say anything

he damn well please about Joe Biden but Biden can't bring up his record of history or it's "an attack and ridiculous. ".

Sorry Booker it doesn't work that way.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

26. Really, Sen. Booker?

You can attack Joe, but he is to remain silent?

That is not how things work. Joe Biden will disagree with you, but he will NOT be disagreeable to you as you might elect to be with him.

[The Mouth]

29. I love Joe, but

if he can't just laugh at anything Booker can throw at him, he'll be toast when TrumPutin and the ten thousand trolls start in. Booker is smart, charismatic, a good speaker, and would be of great use in a Biden or Warren administration, but if you can't take down a welterweight in the first round with a couple of punches, you're fucked in the heavyweight bout.
