Booker bashes Biden for 'hoodie' remark

A day after California Sen. Kamala Harris went on the offensive against Joe Biden about race at the Democratic debate, Cory Booker similarly hit back at racial comments made by the former vice president.

While attempting to defend his record on civil rights in Chicago Friday, the 76-year-old Biden waded into more controversy with a remark he made about hoodies.

“We've got to recognize that kid wearing a hoodie may very well be the next poet laureate and not a gangbanger,” Biden told the crowd.

Booker, a 50-year-old senator from New Jersey, hit back at the comments over Twitter. He said the way Biden talks about race is not constructive.

“This isn’t about a hoodie. It’s about a culture that sees a problem with a kid wearing a hoodie in the first place. Our nominee needs to have the language to talk about race in a far more constructive way,” Booker said.

When I see a kid in a hoodie when it's 100 deg outside my immediate reaction is to make sure my sidearm is in place.
