Booker came out yesterday gushing over the Green New Deal. That says it all about his intelligence and fitness for any office....Wonder when they investigate his drug dealer friend T-Bones connection? Presidential material right there!
Cory Booker (DEM-NJ) went after Pres Trump's judicial nominee, Neomi Rao, with the clear suspicion that she’s some kind of religious bigot: “Have you ever had an LGBTQ law clerk?” Her reply exposed Booker’s total lack of preparation: “I have not been a judge, so I don’t have any law clerks.”
He resorted to asking if anyone in her employ is LGBTQ — and Rao humiliated him again: “I don’t know the sexual orientation of my staff. I take people as they come, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation.”
But Booker wouldn’t let go: “Are gay relationships in your opinion immoral?” She started to answer: “I’m not sure of the relevance of that,” and he interrupted: “I think it’s relevant to your opinion if you think African-American relationships are immoral, do you think gay relationships are immoral?”
Huh? Immoral African-American relationships?
Rao gave up trying to make sense of his questions and said, “No, I do not.”Still, Booker persisted: “Do you believe they are a sin?” (Not immoral, mind you, but a sin? Really?)
Rao finally explained: “Whatever my personal views are on the subject, I would faithfully follow the precedent of the Supreme Court.” In fact, Rao is about as far as you get from the Religious Right: She was raised in an immigrant family of Zoroastrian tradition, and converted to Judaism when she got married.
