NEW CIVILITY WATCH: Cory Booker tells supporter who wanted him to punch Trump, ‘Black guys like us, we don’t get away with that.’
“I go to these meetings sometimes – I talk a lot about this one, the time where a guy comes up to me in the beginning before I spoke and he says to me, ‘I want you to punch Donald Trump in the face.’ And I looked at him and I go, ‘sir, that’s a felony,’” Booker said laughingly in audio of his remarks provided to The Hill, before adding, “and black guys like us we don’t get away with that. We don’t get away with that.”
I eagerly await Paul Krugman’s condemnation of Booker’s tolerance of eliminationist rhetoric.
