Does Booker want people talking about his cozy relationship with Rand Paul?

You know, the guy that opposed the Civil Rights act?

Or maybe Booker knows that you actually DO have to work with people you may not agree with.

I would respectfully tell Biden to watch out when it comes to punching down.

That you shouldn't work with people you don't agree with? Could you provide that quote please.

The larger issue is normalizing a racist by noting he didn't call the white guy "boy".

If Biden had said that it was possible to work with even such a racist to further a common good, no one would have hardly noticed.

If he said that even Strom Thurman sometimes voted to approve Dem budgets, that would have been on solid ground.

Tone deaf is always going to be a problem when you are asking to lead the choir.

After finding out he was connected with Rosario Dawson, I didn't think he could move lower in my estimation, but he's managed to top himself.
