Instead of owning up to the fact that HHS blocked billions in federal child care funding at his direction, RFK Jr. stalled, deflected, and lost his temper —only to ultimately admit that the order came from his department.

Oh, you mean stall and deflect like you are, Cory!! Why did you vote to confirm yet another felon into a position of government power??? You sold out, and now we all know it. You betrayed us for $$. Shame on you!
You held your piss for 25 hours only to shit the bed by confirming Charles Kushner. Stop with performance politics and start listening to your constituents.
Why did you vote to confirm Kushner as ambassador? Your silence is deafening. It is so disgusting that you invoke John Lewis and then turn around and vote for people like Kushner to be ambassador. DISGUSTING!!!!!!
He's just going to do optics control until the next republican bribe comes up. Watch, he'll do something heartwarming and extreme only to vote against humanity. Again.
He has a history of doing this. Booker is not the one you want as president.
Wait, are you seriously chiding him on his behavior? YOU? You helped saddle us with yet another criminal in a position of power! What were you THINKING?? We thought you were one of the good guys!
Actions speak louder than words. Your marathon blab-fest was performative and means nothing compared to your vote for felon Kushner. Done with you, slimy politician that you are.
Why did @booker.senate.gov vote for a convicted felon to be ambassador to France? He no longer have any credibility with democrats and poisoned his reputation permanently. Ba bye next election
I remember (as a then Washingtonian) when Patty Murray was first elected. I knew her heart was in the right place, but wondered if she'd "make it" in DC (tennis shoes and all). She is exactly what America needs in the US Senate!
Please explain why you voted for Kushner. Please explain why you vote the AIPAC line when you know that children are being starved in Gaza. I respect you so much, but you have betrayed my trust. Please explain.
Ignoring our questions and concerns regarding your vote to confirm Charles Kushner…is another blatant decision meant to show us, you do not accept accountability.
You voted for Kushner, a convicted felon. In addition to his heinous crime for which the other convicted felon pardoned him, his son already got $2B from the Saudis & grifted countless $ from the American people. This family leverages their positions to enrich themselves. You've lost credibility
If anyone had faith that the system--with people like you in it who at first seem like public servants--can be reformed, I hope they are dissuaded now. The whole thing is going to hell and all we as citizens can do in the face of it is unite and build community (and that's another story)
Instead of owning up to the fact that he’s only loyal to his own political ambition, Sen Cory Booker deflected, avoided answering any questions and evaded accountability to his constituents.
The American public knows he’s not fit to run this department yet there he is. Ask yourself if this is the person you want in charge if there’s another pandemic or other health crisis, you know like a major measles outbreak. Insane.
Lisa Murkowski is a better democrat than you are. You've been in bed with Charlie Kushner since 2002. You also voted for David Perdue and the Stablecoin act. You've sold out your constituents to MAGA 3 times since your 25-hour grandstand. You are a disgrace.
Mr. Booker, DUDE, why vote for Kushner? He's filthy. What he did, hiring an escort to seduce his BIL, so he could show his sister evidence, then use her mental state to take the company from under her is THE most vile thing a sibling could do. That's indicative of his character. I'm disappointed 😔
Senator Booker, would you care to explain your vote to confirm a convicted felon nepotic hire as ambassador to France? Or why you voted for an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing to rein in the inherent corruption?
Have you tried a sternly worded letter? That seems to be the only play at hand when it comes to the literal downfall of America. That… and capitulation.
But hey, what would us average Americans know, it’s just us losing healthcare, and food access, and our retirements.
From the millions in AIPAC money you receive to hosting war criminals in DC to cashing in on crypto to voting to confirm your felon friend Mr. Kushner, you're one of the biggest frauds in Congress.
Saw your lying excuse and groveling drivel on daily beast. You're still full of shit dude. You need to be disbarred. Go marry Condi since you're birds of a feather.
And instead of voting, NO, here you are talking about RFK instead of owning up to the fact that you just voted with MAGA on 2 issues instead of having a spine! #resign
Heinous of RFK. undeniable. But I'm still looking for an answer about Kushner sentenced to prison in 2005 on charges of witness tampering and tax evasion. WTF Cory? Why vote to approve?
Another lunatic. These people need to be removed from politics. They're rich, spoiled, and see the world only through the eyes of billionaires, with zero respect for humanity. I don't even know if they're 'human' anymore. They're more like parasites.
2/? Let's say you're keeping someone alive with CPR for 30 minutes while waiting for EMS to arrive and somebody near you suggesting, "Maybe when we get back, you can go to medical school and become a doctor! We needed a good doctor in our town!" So people start talking about you becoming an MD...
3/? but you know what medical school is like and you're doing everything you can while you do CPR. You are exhausted yet part of you is thinking, "I don't want to become a doctor! I just want to get through right now! I want to get done with this, go home and stare into space."
4/? I wonder if Sen. Booker wants to take a break from politics once it's safe. France will likely limit the damage Kushner can do. CK was a safe place to quietly bang-bang all that talk on POTUS28. Let Cory Booker focus on what he can do successfully right now.
Lmfao get ready to lose your next election you sell out. 25 hours, just more performative bullshit when it comes down to the votes youve shown your true colors
Well he thinks he is above the rest of the world because he is a Kennedy. However his Mom and uncle fought for the underserved and would find him a disgrace.
So, you're MAGA! I know your 25 hours was all performative. Yeah sure, you'll go in the history books for that. However, you will most definitely go in the books for this. People will study & wonder, how you could go from one extreme to the other. Guess everyone has their price, don't they.
You owe us an explanation as to why you voted for Kushner. Dems need to explain why they voted for any of Dumbp's confirmations. We can't trust any of you anymore, and it really sucks.
Agreed. AND instead of admitting that you know Kushner is a criminal, you voted him in.
It is imperative that we refrain from electing Democratic representatives who receive financial support from corporate entities. Such individuals are unlikely to prioritize the best
interests of the public.
People are being kidnapped off the streets and sent to prisons without due process, children are being starved to death and bombed with U.S. weapons, and you’re rubber stamping the appointment of a criminal relative of the president. This is indeed a moral moment, and you’ve failed to rise to it.
Stopped by to say I knew your 25 hour speech was a manipulative way to make up for voting to ban TikTok. You are NOT for the ppl! You’re for your pockets!! You’re just another PERFORMATIVE manipulator!!
You voted for Charles Kushner, a convicted felon, simply because he supported your earlier campaigns in NJ. This is exactly what you stood up and spoke out against. Shame on you.
In all honesty @booker.senate.gov had that sit down with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social (who gave 12 Dems a good scolding because they stood up for @algreen.house.gov at the #45 SOTU! During that little sit down at the Capitol, I believe Hakeem made it clear to Booker what he needs to do?! Any ideas…
I probably wouldn't have known about the Kushner vote, but, you posted this, so now I do. That's a vote for oligarchy, y'know? Pretty easy to say NO. Because a terrible person does one good thing doesn't mean they get to be ambassador of France unless you have some other reason $$$
I'm an every election voter. I help get people to the polls. I'm in my town's local Dem club depsite the party often making me nuts. Harm reduction was worth it to me.
I genuinely am not going to vote for you in 2026. Thank for you showing me "blue no matter who" is part of what we're here.
You should be ashamed of yourself, but your loyalty to the Kushner crime family prevents you from shame, I suspect. We're done with you. Shame. Cut the bullshit and step aside for someone who believes in democracy enough to be a solid NO vote on anything this fascist, criminal regime wants.
Sickest - probably not as sick as all the starving kids
That’s are dying
From no of food
From climate change disasters
And cause Dementia Donnie
Cut them of and left the food rotting on the docks in America !
You jacks linked faced POS !
Stop voting for anything this admin pushes. Grind the government to a halt like the treasonous Republicans do anytime a Democrat is in office.
Show everyone how worthless their leadership is.
But first he just needed to vote with Trump on crypto and for Kushner... he is a maga thru and thru. No solidarity, no pushback, just another dirty politician. We really can't afford that now.
Help me understand why you would vote for Kushner. Clearly, you’ve damaged your credibility, newly earned, likely beyond repair, after the noble filibuster and protest. Why??
ANY young Democrat or Independent should run against them all, red and blue, slam dunk. We know what is going on. Vote them all out. TikTok campaign, speak the truth, clean house and start new - create the new America.
Booker chose a convicted felon ( kushner ) over his political career. Smh.
Booker definitely won't have my vote if he runs for president. Booker is just another enabler of CONVICTED FELON #donaldtrump and his corruption..
Hmmm, that 24+ hour speech by Sen. Cory Booker was all hot air.
Booker voted to confirm the CONVICTED FELON father of jared kushner. Booker putting his stamp of approval on CONVICTED FELON #donaldtrump's corruption.

What a useless tool.
#SectionRFKjr
You just VOTED FOR ANOTHER FKNG FELON!!!!!
I'm so tired of these videos. Democrats scolding Republicans in hearings that change NOTHING.
Apparently it's just for show.
You are a sell out! Dems will not forget!
He has a history of doing this. Booker is not the one you want as president.

Caroline warned us. Every word she said has come true because he is not fit for anything. He is a train wreck.
You done stepped in it and you can't escape the stench
Time’s up…86 Booker!
We are over you. This is a breakup. We are going to see other primary candidates. Probably a few. Maybe some really left wing baddies.
He’s one of them!
TRAITOR!
👏👏👏
You voted for kushner…
Now sit down and shut up…you have no moral or ethical standing anymore.
HOW CAN YOU FACE INNOCENT CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, THE VETS?! YOUR 25 HOUR NONSENSICAL SPEECH WAS A FARCE!!!
HOW MUCH DID THE MAGAS GIVE YOU TO APPROVE KURSCHNER AND NOW THIS “BEAUTIFUL BILL?!”
Well, you can go fuck straight off now, I'm done with you.
You went from Hero to Zero in just a few weeks. It’s sad really.
What the actual fuck man.
You have shamed New Jersey and all this beautiful state represents
You are reprehensible, maga scum with a blue veneer you’re hoping dyes red enough to be “a good one”
GTFO of office, sprinting preferably, tail twixt your legs, and never show your face in our wonderful state again
Cory Booker is corrupt.
Also...Kushner.
Finally...Kushner.
But hey, what would us average Americans know, it’s just us losing healthcare, and food access, and our retirements.
It's almost as if he doesn't have the background, skills, or intellectual abilities for the job he was "gifted."
But sure, getting rid of DEI sure "owned the libs."
No integrity, just a sad performative clown.
You are a cockroach 🪳🪳🪳🪳
And also why you were the ONLY Dem to vote to approve Jared Kushner's father as an American ambassador?
So many of us are trying to understand.
Cory Booker is corrupt.
Closet Republican after all??? 🤔🤬 …sooooo disappointed….

We have so much going on right now, it's overwhelming. A US senator who is doing the right thing is under a lot of pressure. 1/?
do better
So disappointing.
Seriously you just burned down your reputation. For what? A buddy?
You are seriously weak sauce, dude

He can't answer simple questions without losing his temper. That is not the picture of health.
I genuinely am not going to vote for you in 2026. Thank for you showing me "blue no matter who" is part of what we're here.
The criminal Charles Kushner.

1 + (-1) = 0
Was the vote for Kushner life changing for most Americans? No. But it was symbolic of Dems willingness to cave and you now embody that.
Booker chose a convicted felon ( kushner ) over his political career. Smh.
