Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey was not about to suffer fools lightly this morning as Donald Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, claimed that she couldn’t remember if Trump called Haiti and African countries "shitholes" in an Oval Office meeting last week.
After listening to earlier testimony bu Nielsen, Booker decided to use his time to address his thoughts saying, in part, "Your silence and your amnesia is complicity."
Just an excerpt from Booker's comments:
“I had tears of rage. And for you not to feel that hurt and that pain and to dismiss the questions of my colleagues, with tens of millions Americans hurting right now because they're worried about what happened in the White House."
