Sen. Cory Booker pushed back against criticism that his 2020 presidential campaign's message of unity and common ground isn't resonating with Democratic voters.
According to Politico, the chairman of the Polk County Democrats in Des Moines said in April that Booker's message was"compelling," but"the Democratic base is angry as hell" and its primary voters"want to fight." "I just smiled and said, 'Hey man, that's a felony, and us black guys, we don't get away with that that often," Booker joked."The reality is Trump wants us to fight him on his turf and his term. He wants to pull our party down. We will not succeed by showing the worst of who we are, but the best of who we are."
"We're here at South Carolina, a historically black ... university, where some of the greatest strength was shown through the civil rights activism where people didn’t raise a fist," Booker said."We didn't beat 'Bull' Connor by bringing bigger dogs and more powerful hoses."
