New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker stirred controversy Wednesday by publicly implying Sen. Jeff Sessions was racist and hostile toward civil rights.
Booker claimed Sessions was unfit to be attorney general, and his political allies warned that Sessions could move the country backward if confirmed as President-elect Donald Trump’s top law enforcement official.
His statements were pure hypocrisy – because this is what Booker was saying about Sessions just one year ago.
"I feel blessed & honored to have partnered w/ Senator Sessions in being the senate sponsors in this important award."

You heard that right. Last year, Booker said partnering with Sessions was one of the “greatest moments” in his life and a humbling moment, one he was truly grateful for.
The event was for the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal co-sponsored by the two, which were presented to Civil Rights icons whose famous march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965 helped secure equal voting rights for African-Americans.
One year later, Booker believes Sessions is a terrible racist unfit for office?
Talk about hypocrisy!
Sessions on Tuesday called Booker’s accusations “damnably false” and said he is “totally committed to maintaining the freedom and equality that this country has to provide to every citizen.”
Not everyone on the panel criticized Sessions, of course. Three men who had worked with Sessions in Alabama and Washington, all black, testified in support.
Jesse Seroyer, a former U.S. marshal for the Middle District of Alabama, said Sessions is a “good honest person who is going to give all he has to make sure everyone is treated fairly under the law.”
Earlier in the day, Attorney General Michael Mukasey also came to Sessions’ defense at the hearing. He wrote in his testimony that “of all the insidious practices that have crept into our politics in recent times, I know of none more insidious than casual and unjustified accusations of racism, smears that once leveled are difficult to wipe clean.”

Corey has had a tough life. He is the son of highly paid executives. He grew up in a wealthy environment. He attended the best schools. He is a senator. His cries of oppression are comical.
He also come as being an appointee. Halo comes on the heels of the another rooked Newark mayor. They are not to b trusted. He is only there to help his buddies line their pockets. What has he done or proposed to do for New Jersey. He just sucks up a large salary like so many others in the swamp.
Sounds a bit like another black politician except for the “highly paid executive parents”. But someone was paying all the bills for Obutthead and his mummy. You don’t get into Harvard without strings being pulled or money coming from somewhere. Booker’s recent performance is him auditioning for the DemocRat party for 2020. After 8 years of the “race card” being played by Oblowhard the path to the White House for Booker is pretty well closed. Way too many people with their eyes open now.
What a remark about Obama! So you are saying this black man could never have gotten into Harvard without money or connections. Man your over the top dislike for people of color is obvious! Booker is narcissistic and is a liar….sounds just like another establishment figure we now call president elect.
Booker was starting his campaign for next election 2020. He wants to be just like his favorite, obama. The drama of his rant against Jeff Sessions was beyond pathetic. He did that rant right after the nice patriotic BLACK AMERICAN praised Jeff Sessions; then his rant was followed by other BLACK AMERICANS who had the good experience from working with Sessions. Do these people NOT KNOW that we can hear them? That seemed to be obama’s problem when he chastised congress and our country. TRUST ME, we CAN hear you hypocrites in government, whether you are in a foreign country, or on our homeland!!
Look booker – if ya want that soros money —– JUST ASK FOR IT —— he bought and paid for your buddies so why not jump on the band wagon……. I forgot – soros has some healing to do after losing billions on hitlery….
Booker is a paid for POS and Soros’s days are probably numbered as his plans for the US we’re screwed by Trump winning and the EU is COLAPSING more every day So screw you Booker and Screw you SOROS, your last days can not come soon enough !!!
I love all the comments about booker. I think he is narcissistic and a liar.????????????????????
I love all the comments about booker. I think he is narcissistic and a liar.????????????????????
Corey is another disappointment, it’s people like him that destroys the Democratic Party. Another liar, racist, and bigot. I was brought up in a very wealthy family as well.l That is no excuse to be a hypocrite. If he went to the best schools, they taught him culture, not to lie and how to take care of yourself as a human being. (NOT A PIG)_. He showed his colors. Vote him out of office next term. He will never be a Barrack Obama. (Obama wasn’t my choice either). This is why.
AMEN TO THAT (I DIDN’T VOTE FOR “O” EITHER)
He was also Mayor of Newark, New Jersey and made that city far worse when he left it for a run at the open Senate seat. Things were bad before he was elected but he made things worse. Let’s face some facts, he wants the headlines because he’s ambition and wants to be the second black President. Did anyone even know who he was before? What did Obama and Schumer promise him if he lied to the Committee that Sessions was a racist.knowing that Senator Session is a good man who actually prosecuted members of the KKK? As some of the most racist and bigoted politicians are members of the Democratic party. Head racist and bigot are the Clinton’s and Nancy Pelosi. But of course the msm helps them to hide these facts from the public.
Cory Booker was Mayor of Newark N.J. and we see how that worked out
……..and like obama, has an unusual desire for and admiration of…..colons
And he is obviously totally corrupt!
He is being touted as the NEXT Barak Obama. Absolutely correct. More lies, more dirty backroom deals and as racist as they come.
Couldn’t agree more.
Booker is about as low as a “black in politics” can get. As a little rich boy, being a Senator is about the best his parents could buy him!
Let’s not also forget that he also is a convert for Islam!!! NO MORE ISLAMIST CONVERTS as president…and a full fledge racist himself!!!
I agree!
It is a shame that Booker resorted to innuendos because he thought no one would research his past. He knew full well Sessions worked to honor MLK and others who marched for civil rights. But using a typical liberal tactic he was hoping to make a name for himself for future gains. Unfortunately he damned himself as one who is not trustworthy. He would make a quality liberal.
HE FORGOT THE PUBLIC NEVER FORGETS. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING YOU DO AND SAY.
Typical left wing zebra
Cory, I think you have a case of CRS..
ANOTHER WORTH LESS DEMOCRAT
YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn’t agree with your more. He appears to be a left wing socialist, liberal Democrat who loves to divide and destroy America vs unite and prosper America. Where are the conservative/moderate Democrats?
I don’t even use the term democrat any more you are right socialist is there new norm
And they have the nerve to call Jeff Sessions a racist – they are the true racists.
Another lying democrat. You just destroyed your future,
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
LIB LIB BABY
Precursor to his run for POTUS
Gary Smith – and then it is a precursor to another 4 years of Obozo’s vision of how race relations should be portrayed.
Only fools would vote for Booker just like Obama. I would never vote for Booker nor did i ever vote for Obama.
The Black subculture appears to be populated by fools, who are strung along by USGov handlers who have developed 4th generation welfare families.
The voting blacks might wise up after seeing the destruction by Obozo and the future great results from Trump. As always, it is not about skin color, but the character of the person.
And now Mr Sessions is a Racists. Booker you are an example of what is wrong with race relations today in America. Along with Obama, you make EVERYTHING about race. If someone does not agree with you and Obama, they are called Racists. It’s the double-standard of the left.
By being LOUD and DIRTY the Libs will endorse him and that’s all he is looking for . Omg I hope they do call him the Next Obama , we’ll never have to worry about him getting elected . I think this idiot is wasting his time , since there’s no way in hell that America would chance anything even close to another obummer , We have paid Big Time for that mistake !!
He will be the same as Obama….as Reid put it “A black man without a negro dialect”. Then, of course, anyone who does not agree with him must be a racist.
He did what he had to do, like Reid said about lying about Romney. He is the Dream Boy the New O for 2020 and what does truth have to do with anything where they are concerned.
They are frogs in the pot and the heat is being turned up and they will boil.
This man is not worth commenting on.
I had a great comment Bob but I’ll second yours.
I AGREE WITH BOB…TRUMP WILL CLEAN THE SWAMP, HOPEFULLY STARTING WITH THIS ONE AND RUBIO.
So what new with politicans. Do they all do this. Tell me what I want to hear. Than do what makes them look god to get elected again. Drain the swamp
Unfortunately Corey Booker is not an honest individual. He will say anything and step on people to advance his career as demonstrated by his arrogance when speaking about Senator Jeff Sessions and calling him a racist.
Sessions prosecuted 2 KKK members in Alabama for the murder of a black man, one received the death penalty. He won an 8 million dollar judgement against the Klan, which bankrupted the Klan in Alabama.He filed lawsuits to desegregate the schools in Alabama. He voted to extend the Civil Rights Act for 30 years. With that total hypocrite Corey Booker he gave Rosa Parks that award.
If this is being a racist, then everyone needs to be a racist
I’m totally ashamed to say that I’m a resident of New Jersey when a 2 face like Cory Booker does a low life thing like this to a fine civil rights champion like Jeff Sessions. All Booker wants is to make a name for himself so he can make a run for higher office in the future. Personally I think he’s just shot himself in the foot. Booker is a polished WAFFLING politician. Typical Democrap.
this is why Trump is so very important to our country. Trump is NOT a ‘politician’ He CARES about America and her people. Booker is an example of politicians… they will say and do anything to further their own agendas and to make themselves look more important than they really are and clear of any misdoings… they never own up to their dirty deeds-it’s always someone else’s fault. We need less full-time politicians and more people who really want the best for America and her people! Go Trump!
America needs a businessman/woman to run the country. We don’t need a POLITICIAN. We have had politicians opinions good and bad. We need leadership and this is what we got with Trump. Let Trump lead. Nothing can be worse than the past Obama and liberals.
If businessman Trump’s infrastructure spending proposals work as well as intended, then the inner-city people will see how badly their local Democrat Politicians have been screwing them all of these years. These proposals will create millions of well-paying construction jobs. And local minority workers could be the beneficiary of these decent jobs. After that will they still vote for Booker and other failed politicians? I don’t think so.
Let’s face folks in this country at this time if you are white you are a racist!
THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT I’M NOT A RACIST AND I’M WHITE, LET ME TELL U WHO I DONT HAVE THE TIME OF DAY FOR. PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE THE COMMON DECENCY TO RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS TO HAVE AN OPINION AND TO DEMONSTRATE PEACEFULLY. NO MATTER WHAT THEIR COLOR BUT WHEN PEOPLE OF ANY COLOR BLINDLY FOLLOW HIRED AGITATORS AND RIOT AND DESTROY PROPERTY AND SPOUT COMMIE RHETORIC AS TAUGHT IN THE COLLEGES TODAY ID JUST AS SHOOT THEM
LET US ALL N E V E R

All the Democrats like Booker (which are most of them) need to remember more about their true history. It is sad that there are not enough Republicans that will keep reminding them of their history when they accuse the Republicans of doing what they did.
It is pass time that Booker and the other Democrats reminded that if it was for the Republicans the civil rights bill back in 1964 and 1965 would not been passed, (Al Gore Sr voted against them) Republicans freed the slaves and gave them the right to vote and own property, the KKK was backed by the Democrats, FDR appointed Justice Hugo Black and he had been an attorney for the KKK.
Booker and Schumer are the reason I will never vote for a Democrat.
He has become total political with no shame.
I heard and saw what he said, Sad, Really sad, and to think thats his start to run for president in 2020. I don’t think so. He shouldn’t even be a Senator if it wasn’t for chubby Christy, who picked a democrat over a republican, that was when I was turned off on him. he was an is a traitor to the gop. Jim
Not to mention how he cuddled up to Obama when he visited New Jersey after hurricane Sandy hit. That was a real turn off. It’s one thing to show respect but, it’s another thing to be tickled and flustered as he was. His political career is over.
Where does it say greatest moment? “I feel blessed & honored to have partnered w/ Senator Sessions in being the senate sponsors” He is only giving him praise for partnering with him. A little twist and shout going on.
He’s an opportunist! Senator Booker, a former mayor of Newark, NJ, may have ambition to run as a presidential candidate for the Democrats in 2020. (He is being groomed.) He needs to gain more name recognition for himself, so lights, camera, action!!! What he did to Senator Sessions was shameful and will NOT be forgotten. Furthermore, we all now know that this NJ senator is one of those people who will smile in your face and then stab you in the back – TWO FACED!!!
Sen Corey Booger (Leftist- NJ) attempting to become the Dems next Obama. One area that Sen. Booger does match Obama is in the area of hypocrisy as the article so accurately points out.
Sen Booger was a failure as Mayor of Newark, NJ, he is a Leftist failure as a Senator, & he will be a failure should he pursue higher office.
Don’t worry folks, Hillary will make sure that Mr Booker commits suicide before 2020. No one shall make an attempt to deprive Hillary of the Presidency in 2020. Not while she has breath in her body!
Booker is a lying Hypocrite of the lowest form… because he used it strictly for SEVEN MINUTES OF FAME… He’s just another ignorant nobody with presidential aspirations…that doesn’t have sense enough to know something like this would be simply pulled up for all to see. Lying in public is extinct for politicians…because there is always someone that has filmed it.
Sessions going along with the flow to honor civil rights workers does not undo his record of 30 plus years of racist behavior, opposition to civil rights, voting rights and inaction to promote human rights. The Coretta Scot King letter revealed this week which was withheld from the congressional record of the hearings which declared him unfit for a Federal judgeship, plus his lies and revised testimony in the current confirmation hearings make it clear that he is unfit to serve as attorney general. Sessions sponsoring a bill to honor heroes does not erase a lifetime of hostility to civil rights. It’s just lipstick on a pig.
Anyone who calls Cory Booker a hypocrite for pointing out his shortcomings only highlights his own prejudice.
Oh you poor miserable SOB! You have my condolences on the death of your brain! And the hatred in your mind!
Charles Sanders – you are a part of the problem along with your buddy Booker neither of you will ever be part of the solution.
be careful what you wish for! If he is corrupt enough, Socialist enough and self serving enough the Dems will run him for Pres In a Heartbeat!
“Race relations have never been better” BHO

I agree with you. I ask everyone I know to pray for our new president because he has many enemies looking to destroy him and his presidency. He is a threat to all the corruption and evil doers in Washington who have enjoyed being on their gravy train all these years at the American public’s expense. We desperately needed someone like Trump to rock the boat and fumigate Washington DC. My hope is that he inspires other government officials on all levels of government to do the same in their respective domains. Let’s unite to make a new great America.
Is Booker also sponsored by the Bush-Saudi, Carlyle Group, similar to the Kenyan-born citizen of Indonesia?
Doesn’t the bible say something about casting the first stone. Looks like this one had a boomerang attached to it. How does a person like this ever get elected to a public office?
Note also how Cory Booker yapped about “rights” for various groups, then talked about “equal rights.”
It is impossible to have rights unique to different groups, no matter what their identity is, and also have equal rights.
The Civil Rights Acts said that there shall not be discrimination based upon certain categories, but did not establish extraordinary rights for any of those groups. Therefore, there is no concept in law for so-called “gay rights,” “immigrant rights,” “Muslim rights,” or any other type of rights based upon group identity.
Booker doesn’t even know Sessions. Everything Booker stated was either hearsay or a blatant liberal lie. Fits the MO of all Democrats. If you lie long enough and loud enough, then it will become truth.
Regarding the bunch of question marks in previous post: i did NOT QUESTION!!!
Auto changes from thumb up to
A question mark !!)))))
Thumb up shows as a question mark
And so does the hand with the ok signal!!
I dont know why!
Obama 2.0. Scam alert: The American people should never make that mistake again.
Corey Booker’s Resume;
Position Sought: President of the United States 2020.
Credentials; African-American.
Qualifications: Willing to race bait for votes.
What Booker and other socialists don’t realize is that every time they shoot off their mouth, they simply add supporters to PE Trump. We’ve heard enough hypocrisy from the leftist socialists (used to be democrats) and now they simply cause informed people to migrate to the conservative side with their whining and crying. I see comments all day long from people who have left the left and none too soon! Just a week away now……..
Booker’s 2020 presidential campaign slogan:
A chicken in every POTus.
The liberal media will try to paint any and all of Trumps picks as racist. They had no problem with how Obama filled his cabinet though did they? They never question any of the accusations against the3 Clinton’s for the past 40 years – labeling all of the accusations as “conspiracy theories” and the 1000’s of people involved in the accusations as liars while the Clinton’s alone have spoken the truth – kind of make you want to gag don’t it?
Cory Booker is just another run-of-the-mill Democrat politician. He will say whatever he thinks is necessary to advance his current political agenda. It appears Mr. Sessions will be confirmed and everyone now knows Sen. Booker has no problem throwing his colleagues under the bus to score political points. Booker came out of the week looking far worse than Senator Sessions.
Booker is a perfect socialist liberal. Lie, lie, and then lie some more. Remember the parable, “How is it you see the splinter in your neighbors eye, but fail to see the log in your own? Booker is far more of a racist than Sessions ever thought of being.
I pray that when all of these evil people are rounded up that GITMO will again be filled.
Some of the questions raised about Senator Sessions, even when raised by “liberals” might be worthy of attention, others not. That said, I remain awfully curious regarding the fact that seemingly none of these “concerned types” have raised a peep about Session’s support for what I refer to as Theft Undwr Color of Law, aka Asset Forfeiture or Civil Asset Forfeiture. How come the crashing silence?
The only thing the Democrats learned from this election is that identity politics works.
He’s the next black Democratic presidential candidate. Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.
Another lier downed! Go America!
In 2020 we’ll see The Trump Man on Top once again,, Then Pence will run to continue where Trump left off and then someone else on the Republican side will step up to the plate,, Could be the REAL first Woman as President,, Booker just shot himself in the foot,, way to show your true colors Booker man,,
I agree that Booker, is willing to throw any Republican under the bus to further his political career. I can’t name one positive thing he did for Newark, NJ and I can’t think of anything positive he has done for the state of New Jersey as a senator. He was just a rubber stamp for Obama, Unfortunate for him, he just burned an important bridge. The Republican party better get its act together under Trump, because Trump exposed how incompetent and weak the leading Republican candidates are during the campaign. Trump bitch slapped all of them. None of them had the courage to put political correctness aside and they were all afraid to endorse him because he was speaking out bluntly about some issues that are very important for our country. The Republican party better find where they left their testicles for the last 8 years and support the new president. There is strength in unity. Otherwise Trump won’t be able to do most of what he said he wants to do for the country without support from congress.
THE MAN IS A LOOSER ! ! ! I T H I N K H E I S C U R E N T L Y B E I N G I N D I T E D
Cory Booker is trying to establish a bias narrative for when he is investigated for corruption. Holder and Lynch would never go after a fellow Black and Democrat, but Sessions tends to be color-blind. Sessions is more honest, and that is not good for Cory Booker.
Cory Booker, on mainstream media, ranting & raving, appears to be wanting to START RIOTING!!! Is this acceptable behavior???
Senator Booker’s ranting and raving is his own personal protest and does not speak for ALL the people of New Jersey. By doing this, Senator Booker is using his elected status as a means to further his own agenda of personal feelings of likes and dislikes and prejudices of individuals who don’t share his.
