Cory Booker: 'My testosterone sometimes makes me want to' punch TrumpThe Hill, Jul 23, 2019
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said Monday that while he sometimes feels like "punching†President Trump, Democrats could not win by “fighting him on his tactics.â€
Speaking to NBC's Seth Meyers, the 2020 presidential candidate recounted a past interaction with a supporter who suggested that he take a swing at the current president.
Echoing comments he made in April, Booker said that while “my testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching" Trump, it wouldn't be good for the country or for Democrats as they seek to beat Trump in 2020.
Referring to Trump as a "physically weak specimen," Booker said a punch would "be bad for the elderly, out of shape man that he is."
Democrats should not give into such instincts because “that’s his tactics,†Booker told the “Late Night with Seth Meyers†host, “and you don’t beat a bully like him fighting him on his tactics, on his terms, on his turf."
