In college column, Cory Booker revealed time he groped friend, and she resisted (oldie but goodie)

Writing for his college paper, Cory Booker once admitted that he groped a friend when he was 15 years old.

Now the mayor of Newark and a candidate for New Jersey’s open Senate seat, a college-aged Booker described the experience of grabbing the girl’s breast and having his hand pushed away.

“Telling one’s own personal story is often the most powerful way to make a point, or, more importantly, to make people think,” Booker wrote in the February 19, 1992 column for the Stanford Daily, under the headline “So Much for Stealing Second.”

“When grandiose statements entrenched in politically correct terminology are made, many may listen but few will hear,” Booker continued. “When I hesitated in writing this column, I realized I was basking in hypocrisy. So instead I chose to write and risk.”

“New Year’s Eve 1984,” Booker recalled. “I will never forget. I was 15. As the ball dropped, I leaned over to hug a friend and she met me instead with an overwhelming kiss.”

Things apparently moved very quickly for the young man, who recalled thinking of sex as a “game.”

“As we fumbled upon the bed, I remember debating my next ‘move’ as if it were a chess game. With the ‘Top Gun’ slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast. After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my ‘mark,’” Booker wrote.

Not included in the excerpt is how he turned himself around and became a man-hater.

It's been pretty much accepted here in New Jersey that Booker published that story simply to establish his "street creds" as a heterosexual man.

I'd be shocked if even 20% of the stories he has told about himself are true.

There’s a famous story of Booker headlined to address women at a special Democrat Convention event.

But only 10 women showed up....one was dressed in a pink condom.

Excellent find. Surely there’s a “me too” woman or two out there who wants a book deal.

Did Booker ever say how many men he groped?

Just wondering.

Is he talking about a slogan from the movie “Top Gun”? The movie came out in 1986. This incident happened in 1984 which he says he will never forget.

Maybe he was thinking of a “Risky Business” slogan.

Most of the groping Cory does these days is mental.
Searching the pitch black darkness in his skull for a coherent statement to make.
He rarely scores.

He also spent Christmas of 1968 in Cambodia with John Fn Kerry.
Remarkable since he was born in 1969.

I’ve always suspected Cory Booker to NOT be attracted to women. What made him changed since then, I am not certain.

You can find the story here:

I guess it's different because Booker was 15, but Kavanaugh was 16-17?

more likely he touched her boob and yanked his own hand quickly away while yelling “Ewww! Yuk!”

Probably a dumb question here but what is the ‘Top Gun’ slogan he is referring to?
