Cory Booker on 2020: I’m in This Race to Try to Build Our Nation Up

EXCERPT:

BOOKER: “And I hope you'll go back and watch the Kavanaugh hearings because that was one of my prouder moments sticking up for people. And when I was threatened to be thrown out of the Senate, I told the senator that did that, 'Bring it.' Another senator stood up and said, 'If you are going to throw Cory Booker out, throw me into the pit as well.' And that senator, I looked at them and I said, 'Wow, that was like an 'I am Spartacus' moment.' He stepped forward and said, 'Anything happens to Cory happens to me.'" 
BEHAR: "Who was that?"
BOOKER: "Senator Dick Durbin, who is a righteous man. And what I'm saying is that's the problem with our culture, these snippets. We have people getting more and more ratings by tearing down the other people. That's not how I'm going to run this campaign. If you’re tired of that bitterness, that trash talking, that trolling, that kind of politics that is a race to the bottom in our country, then don’t support me because I’m not in this race to tear people down. I’m in this race to try to build our nation up."
