Cory Booker giddy as Democrats vote against 'defund the police': GOP senator 'has given us the gift'
Fox News
Sen. Cory Booker wanted to "hug" GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville for putting to rest "scurrilous" accusations that Senate Democrats want to defund the police.
If the intent was to get Democrats to vote against the measure to make a point that liberals want to defund the police, Booker said he was "excited" to squash that opportunity. "This senator has given us the gift that finally, once and for all, we can put to bed this scurrilous accusation that somebody in this great esteemed body would want to defund the police," an overly animated Booker, D-N.J., said Tuesday night from the Senate floor.More Related News
