Sen. Cory Booker used a Bible verse to attack U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his supporters Tuesday, claiming they are “complicit in evil.”
Booker, a pro-abortion Democrat from New Jersey, held a press conference Tuesday with U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, and several liberal religious leaders, according to The Blaze. Warren also used the Bible to attack Kavanaugh, a conservative justice who currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Claiming the moral high ground, Booker said: “In a moral moment there is no bystanders. You are either complicit in the evil, you are either contributing to the wrong, or you are fighting against it.”
He continued: “It doesn’t say that I sit in the valley of the shadow of death. It doesn’t say I’m sitting on the sidelines in the valley of the shadow of death. It says I am walking through the valley of the shadow of death. It says I am taking agency that I am going to make it through this crisis.
“And so I am calling on everyone right now who understands what’s at stake, who understands who Kavanaugh is. My ancestors said ‘if someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.’ He has shown us who he is,” Booker said.
Booker is correct about one thing. Americans have a good idea who Kavanaugh is based on a decade of decisions as a federal judge. Kavanaugh has a strong record of protecting religious liberties and supporting abortion restrictions. And national pro-life leaders have expressed high hopes for President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy and the future of unborn babies’ rights.
In a recent, high-profile case, Kavanaugh agreed with the Trump administration that the government should not have to help facilitate abortions for illegal immigrant minors. He also ruled against the Obamacare HHS mandate that forced Hobby Lobby, Little Sisters of the Poor and other Christian-run businesses and organizations to fund drugs that may cause abortions in their employee health care plans.
Booker was vague about the supposed “evils” that Kavanaugh would bring onto America as a U.S. Supreme Court justice. In the pro-abortion lawmaker’s mind, one might be greater protections for unborn babies or religious believers.
Kavanaugh’s judicial record and his personal life indicate that he is a strong supporter of Constitutional values. He is Catholic and serves as a lector at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Washington, D.C. He also volunteers with the St. Maria Meals program at Catholic Charities and has tutored students at the Washington Jesuit Academy.
So Booker now follows in the footsteps of the prince of this world when attempting to tempt the Messiah in the desert, by twisting Scripture.
Pot...Kettle...
Cory Booker is definitely one of the truly Evil ones.
“twisting scripture” is right.
How sickening.
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!”....Isaiah 5:20
One day you’ll come face-to-face with the author of scripture, Cory. It ain’t gonna work out very well for you.
you're going to get what you deserve..."
Cory Booker is an amoral, shallow, big bag of stale wind.
He says whatever furthers the party agenda at that moment.
Cory was one of those who didn’t want to confirm Jeff Sessions as A.G., because Sessions was supposedly an ex-Klan member. This, after Sessions said he had gotten along with Booker just fine for years.
Cory found it quite easy to betray a former friend when loyalty really mattered.
Cory is a poor actor, and here lately, gets overly dramatic.
It’s like watching badly performed Big Time Wrestling.
You end up wanting to just laugh at the whole mess.
As usual, the dems get it backwards. Evil = good. good = evil.
Isaiah 5:20 King James Version (KJV)
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
I guess one good Twisted scripture Deserves another.
Judas went out And hanged himself; Jesus said, Go and do thou Likewise.
“.....there IS no bystanders”?
Are we speaking ebomics in the Senate now?
They ain't?
And Booker knows a bit of scripture from the 23rd Psalm.
But he doesn't realize that "the valley of the shadow of death" is the hallway at a Planned Parenthood center.
Who cares what this faggie thinks?
Cory Booker’s biblical interpretation is about as reliable as his conversations with his imaginary friend, T-Bone.
Booker is unfit for any office. It is a shame that voters actually elect such human debris.
Everything I have ever heard Booker say confirms my suspicion that New Jersey sent its State Idiot to the Senate. And there are people consider him a future president? That definitely would be a “dark valley.”
bkmk
Oh, he realizes. Never mistake for stupidity that which is more adequately explained as malice.
Only Booker’s boyfriend knows about his “dark valley(s)”. That’s bad enough.
