Booker Dramatically Reprises MLK Speech: ‘How Long Until We Add to the President’s Hate with Universal Love? Not Long!’
EXCERPT:
BOOKER: "And so, my fellow Americans, I ask you all who have been fighting so long, who have had to endure pain and hardship, I ask you how long until we know the tide of division and despair will subset, how long will we respond to their hatred with love, how long will it take? I will tell you not long now. I want you to know not long because it is not long until November. How long? Not long. Until we elect a governor in this state who will stand up for women, who will stand up for Planned Parenthood, stand up for public education. How long? Not long. Until we elect people who represent all the people, not just the fortunate few, how long? Not long until we not only believe women, but elect great women to Congress. How long? Not long until we flip the state House and the state Senate. How long? Until we take back the House of Representatives. How long? Until we add to the President’s hate with our universal love. How long? Because it is almost November and if we stand together and work together and struggle together, and love each other like brothers and sisters, then justice will roll down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream. Let’s go. 31 days left. How long? Amen.”
