Turns out, Sen. Cory Booker is a bigger pacifist than we suspected.
He joined hosts Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast on this members-only episode of The New Abnormal and told them about the time “a big guy” asked the New Jersey native to punch President Donald Trump in the face–and his response to that person. (He did also note that punching Trump is a felony. *shrugs*)
Booker also shared his thoughts on what may happen in the Senate thanks to Trump. “I think that what people are realizing is this could be the end for Republican party dominance,” he said.

And he described the “angst” among them, too. “There is a level of frustration when you hear people complaining about Trump in private, but praising him in public,” he added.

He also discusses how the president compares to Nixon. They’re alike in many ways. But also different. “This could really be a time where Donald Trump has signaled a new era of the Republican party,” he adds.
Oh, and then there was the time one of his campaign staffers projectile vomited all over him and his partner Rosario Dawson.
Plus! The trio imagine Putin staying in a Motel 6 and get Booker’s advice on how the Democratic Party can get out the vote: “If you’re not doing something about an issue that you care about, then you are complicit.”
