It’s amazing how many “Spartacus” moments Cory Booker has. The most recent has the NJ Senator and 2020 democratic hopeful fighting the urge to punch Donald Trump in the face. He would totally assault the President of the United States but, according to him, his civility stops him. Obviously he doesn’t know what civility is or that Trump would kick the ever loving crap out of him, but this is actually part of a broader Cory Booker fantasy.
Booker was on Late Night with Seth Meyers because all of the top tier candidates go on Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel. In this clip he was asked about civility in politics which naturally made Booker talk about physical attacking the President.
“This guy sees me, a former tight end for Stanford University he’s a big guy, he puts his arm around me and goes, ‘Dude, I want you to punch Donald Trump in the face.’ And I stop in my tracks and I go, ‘Dude, that’s a felony, man’” said Booker.
As you will soon see, this story is a complete lie, but first, let’s check out Booker’s response to his Trump-punching fantasies:
“My testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching [Trump], which would be bad for this elderly, out-of-shape man that he is if I did that. A physically weak specimen,” said Booker.
I’m not sure why Booker thinks he can be president when he can’t make complete sentences or even form coherent thoughts. Here’s what I think that word salad is supposed to mean: Booker would like to punch President Trump, but he thinks it would be bad optics to assault a weak old man, otherwise he do it.
I can put Booker’s mind at ease on several fronts: He’s a vegan so he doesn’t have testosterone or physical strength. He is a literal soy boy who would get his ass kicked by anyone, including the 73-year-old President. In addition to Spartacus, another of his nicknames should be “Booker Low T.”
Booker indicates that Trump is a physically weak specimen, but if you’ll refer to the video, you can see that the NJ Senator is trying and failing to hide his flabby gut. How does a vegan have a big fat paunch? My guess is he does exactly no exercise, while Trump is quite an active golfer. And again, Trump would wipe the floor with the weaker sedentary Booker.
This is actually an elaboration on a story Booker told before. Back in April he said that he basically saved Trump from getting punched in the face when he talked a black man out of assaulting the President. In the original story he told the potential POTUS assaulter that racism is so bad in this country that black men can’t get away with punching the President. You know, because white guys can totally punch presidents and never get in trouble.
Now the story has evolved into Booker wanting to punch the President, but resisting his urge because Trump is too old and frail to take a Booker beating. That’s another way of saying Booker’s original story was a lie and, as I’ve proven here, his new and improved version is equally as bullshit. In reality, this ever-changing story is part of Booker’s fantasy where he can beat up the bad orange man, or anybody for that matter.
The funniest thing about this is that this is what Cory Booker thinks represents civility in politics. See, he’s got the high ground because he’s resisting his urges to punch Trump. Sure no one on the right ever says violent stuff like this about the left, but somehow democrats are the civil ones with their constant violent rhetoric. It’s a good thing liberals made up the rules or they might look like a bunch of hypocrites.
