Sen. Cory Booker says he is shaken, angered, heartbroken after taking cover in bomb shelter in Israe
« on: October 11, 2023, 05:48:16 pm »
WASHINGTON−Sen. Cory Booker was jogging Saturday in Jerusalem when the attacks began.

As Hamas militants moved into Israel, as thousands of rockets were launched, the New Jersey Democrat was advised by his chief of staff to get back to his hotel, Booker said in a video Saturday evening on X, formerly Twitter.

He took cover in a hotel bomb shelter with others, including "many Americans."

"Frightened faces, there were children and elderly, families, many Americans," Booker said in the video. "There was a sense of fear and worry and a knowledge to many of us that there were horrific things going on around the country at that time."

I am taking the high road here. Just glad that he and another congressman, Dan Goldman (NY) are home.

I didn't know there were two congressmen there on Saturday when I posted this article. I would have gone with something like this that states both of them were there.

I am glad that both are back as well.  I am also hoping that this opens their eyes and the eyes of their DEM peer that we truly need to quickly secure our border and halt migration into this country.

LIEden told the world that the US is weak, unreliable, indecisive, and that the current administration hates Israel.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Out of curiosity, I wonder if any of those other many Americans were on the same flight he took home.

Being in a bomb shelter is more reality  than  most people,especially politicians, are used to dealing with.

It is as real as  real gets.
