Low-polling White House contender Cory Booker declared on CNN’s Newsroom Sunday that “if you come after [former VP and 2020 presidential candidate] Joe Biden, you’re going to have to deal with me.”
In response to President Trump correctly noting that Biden’s corruption is the heart of the Ukraine “scandal,” Booker took the opportunity to do what he does best: grandstand. “I’ve said time and time again that this is unacceptable, that if you come after Joe Biden, you’re going to have to deal with me…” he pontificated.
“These are baseless, unfounded, scurrilous lies plain and simple. Trying to undermine the character of one of the statesmen of our country — not our party, but our country — and so yes, you’ve got a problem with me,” Booker added, as if Biden qualifies as a statesman.
“I will always speak out against those kind of scurrilous attacks, especially from a coward who is showing the greatest type of weakness there is, which is lies, deceptions and cowardice,” he continued, milking his moral outrage.
