Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey recently had another meltdown on the floor of the senate, this time because he was angry at his fellow Democrats for not resisting Trump hard enough.
No one was impressed.
In fact, Booker is getting mocked over it by pretty much everyone in all corners of the political media landscape.
The guys on 2Way called it hysteria.

Even the folks on MSNBC aren’t buying it.
FOX News reports:
MSNBC Democrats mock Cory Booker’s political ‘theater’ stunt on the Senate floor
Democratic MSNBC panelists mocked Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., on Wednesday for his recent grandstanding behavior on the Senate floor, arguing it was more about boosting his public image rather than solving problems…
Panelists of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” were not impressed.
“Well, it’s great theater that we just saw. Cory Booker, a good guy, standing up and yelling on the floor of the United States Senate,” MSNBC contributor Mike Barnicle said on Wednesday. “What I don’t understand is he’s yelling at two other Democrats. The Democrats have enough problems in this country defining themselves to people, making sure people know they are alive, they are interested in your life, they are interested in you, solving problems.”
MSNBC analyst and former Democratic senator Claire McCaskill argued that Booker is simply playing to the desires of the Democratic Party’s base.
“Here’s what’s going on. The Democratic base is starving for a fighter. They’re starving for a fight,” she said. “They want people to fight Donald Trump, because everyone is so frustrated and angry and depressed at everything he’s doing and how he’s doing it, and the cowardice of the Republicans across the aisle in the Senate who are knowingly doing terrible things and casting votes that I would never dreamt they would have cast, when I was serving with them in the Senate.”
Booker is a clown who is performing theater for the Democrat base. Many Democrats are doing this, essentially competing for who can look the angriest over Trump. None of it is real. It’s just a show for their base.
