Booker: This Is the First Time ‘Where a Pres. Has Stood on the National Stage and Took the Side of the Attacker’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOOKER: "I hope people look at this in the long shadow of history and generations to come that will be talking about this moment in history. The first time — you can go back to World War II, World War I, a president on the national stage and took the side of the attacker of the United States. As opposed to the side of the American people. And so where do you want to stand with that? I know where I was. Standing next to the united States president when he talked about the Nazis in Charlottesville, I know I would have resigned and insulted our allies and undermined our very difficultly knit together alliances and coalitions like NATO, I would have resigned and most certainly would resign. That’s my moral compass. You can be complicit in behavior unless you make a courageous stand. The folks around him have to decide because there’s a time in history where people ask where did you choose to stand when the president of the United States undermined the ideals of the United States? Where did you stand when the president was engaged in moral vandalism against the collective values and where were you standing when the president of the United States decided to stand with Vladimir Putin as opposed to the American people and the American intelligence community?"
