Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) stormed out of a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on political violence Tuesday after being called out for a controversial endorsement tied to threats of violence against Republicans. The moment came as commentator Michael Knowles delivered testimony detailing his own experience with left-wing aggression and calling on lawmakers to address a double standard in condemning political violence.
The hearing, led by Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO), focused on “rising political violence in America.” Knowles—who in 2023 was targeted by Antifa activists during a speech at the University of Pittsburgh—argued that the left’s selective outrage toward violence was eroding public trust.
“I think Senator Booker made a good point just a moment ago when he said we have to self-examine, we have to be introspective,” Knowles began. “And I can’t help but think of a line today: ‘Jay Jones has the vision, commitment, and integrity to keep families safe.’ That’s the endorsement of Senator Booker for a man who called for a Republican to be murdered, for his children to be murdered, and said he’d urinate on the graves of multiple Republicans.”
