Booker Hysterics

The Senator does a great Flat Fatima imitation

President Trump used the word “shithole” when describing foreign locations.  He mentioned Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations.  Reports about this January 11 Oval Office meeting often fail to mention El Salvador because it does not support the media’s racist narrative.  Apparently El Salvador is not black enough.   We know President Trump used this word because the allegation has been repeated ad-nauseam.  The only source for this charge is Senator Dick Durbin.  Senator Durbin has a history of “misrepresenting” facts.  That is a polite way of saying he is a liar.  Meghan McCain asked him, “You have a history of misrepresenting statements from private White House meetings, and some say that you’ve actually done more harm than good to the DACA deal by revealing what Trump said in his private meeting. Do you think that’s true?”  His response was designed to distract attention from the question.  He replied, “Well, I can tell you what you hear behind me are the voices of democracy; demonstrators who are on Capitol Hill willing to be arrested in a non-violent way for the Dream Act.”   McCain was referring to a 2013 Politico report about a meeting with the president and GOP leaders.  Durbin claimed that one GOP leader stated, “I cannot even stand to look at you” to the president.  The White House and the House speaker’s office denied Durbin’s incendiary claim.  Obama’s press secretary, Jay Carney, stated, “I looked into this and spoke with somebody who was in that meeting and it did not happen.”  Two senators, the president and a cabinet member deny hearing the word said.  The media is sticking with Durbin.

Liberals are outraged by Trumps’ alleged comments.  Durbin stated, “I cannot imagine that in the history of [the Oval Office], that hallowed room, where the president of the United States goes to work every day, there has ever been a conversation quite like that. It was vile, it was hateful, it was racist.”  Perhaps Durbin did not recall that LBJ used quite a bit of off color language in the Oval Office and Bill Clinton did a few things in that “hallowed room” that would shock the sensitive Senator.  Senator Durbin contacted Senator Cory Booker to inform him of what was supposedly said during the meeting.  He got the expected response.  Booker claimed that, “When Dick Durbin called me, I had tears of rage when I heard about his experience in that meeting.”  During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Booker attacked Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.  Earlier Senator Patrick Leahy asked Nielsen whether Trump had used the vulgarity to describe the countries “or a substantially similar word.”  Nielsen responded, “I did not hear that word used.”  Booker blasted, “The commander in chief in an Oval Office meeting referring to people from African countries and Haitians with the most vile and vulgar language, that language festers.  When ignorance and bigotry is [sic] allied with power it is a dangerous force in our country.  Your silence and your amnesia is [sic] complicit in it.”

Would Senator Booker have talked to Senators Perdue and Cotton in the same threatening manner?  Obviously not.  Booker exposed himself for what he is: a lowlife.

           

Of course the media is doing its best to promote the racist narrative.  Jennifer Rubin, the “conservative” at the Washington Post is doing her best Claude Rains imitation.  She is shocked, shocked to find that politicians lie.  She claims that Senator Cotton not only lied he also impugned the integrity of Sen. Richard Durbin, who told the truth.  She claims, “Honorable men would resign after such a remarkable revelation of their crummy character.”  She suggests that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen may have violated 18 U.S.C. § 1001 during her testimony before the Judiciary Committee.  Unfortunately I missed Ms Rubin’s articles on the lies the heads of the intelligence agencies committed before Congress.  I also missed her column on Harry Reid who bragged about his lying about Mitt Romney’s taxes.
