‘The Young Turks’ Accuse Cory Booker of Lying About His Photo Holding an Anti-Israel Sign

EXCERPT:

UYGUR: "So there's two different problems here. This is the first one. It's actually the smaller problem but just please stop insulting our intelligence. So, apparently this is a group that is the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights and they had a conversation with Booker before taking the picture, so he knew that they were arguing in favor of Palestinian rights, it wasn't just that it was for Mexico. Look, and he's a savvy guy. Sometimes right-wingers come take pictures with me and then go 'ha ha'. How the hell would I know who you are? Okay, that's a different thing, right? If you ask me to hold a sign. I usually look at the sign because I know the tricks that people play etc. but even so, it might be that you took a photo and it was careless, it's no big deal, right? But in this case, you talked to the people, you did know what it was, just can you please not lie about it? It's just, you know, I think the second part is worse, but even if you just said 'hey look, at the time he held a sign but reflecting on it he thinks that it was not the right thing to do.' Okay, at least that's honest, right? But they can't do that."
