Tom Cotton Calls Cory Booker’s Testimony against Sessions “DISGRACEFUL”

It appears Cory Booker is not taking the confirmation hearing for Jeff Sessions seriously and is instead starting his 2020 campaign against Trump early with a self-serving publicity stunt.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) on Tuesday hit on Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) for his plans to testify against their colleague, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), during his confirmation hearings as President-elect Donald Trump‘s attorney general pick.

“I’m very disappointed that Senator Booker has chosen to start his 2020 presidential campaign by testifying against Senator Sessions,” Cotton wrote Tuesday in a Facebook post.

“This disgraceful breach of custom is especially surprising since Senator Booker just last year said he was ‘honored to have partnered with Senator Sessions’ on a resolution honoring civil-rights marchers.”

Cotton said Booker feels “compelled” to speak out against the Alabama Republican because Sessions wants to “keep criminals behind bars, drugs off our streets, and amnesty from becoming law.”

“He’s welcome to oppose these common-sense policies and vote against Senator Sessions’s nomination, but what is so unique about those views to require his extraordinary testimony? Nothing,” Cotton wrote.

“This hearing simply offers a platform for his presidential aspirations. Senator Booker is better than that, and he knows better.

Trump Social Media Director Dan Scavino highlighted Cory Booker’s hypocrisy in a video tweet where booker complimented Sessions not long ago.

"I feel blessed & honored to have partnered w/ Senator Sessions in being the senate sponsors in this important award."
