Like you, I watched the footage of Newark, NJ Mayor, Cory Booker, on MTP where he made his statement that “private equity” shouldn’t be demonized by Democrats on the national stage.
I also saw his video post later that day after the Obama campaign spanked him for going off-message.
So when I was zipping through the leftosphere and saw that he had been on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show, I stopped and watched it, figuring I would catch him slinking about trying to avoid what he seemed to mean on MTP. I was wrong. I did not think that a man could put his tail between his legs that far without surgical assistance.
However, according to the post with the embedded video, this wasn’t enough. They apparently want Booker castrated and his tongue removed on national television before they will even begin to forgive him. That attitude piqued my interest enough to venture into the comments section, where I found a link to this video
Here is the description:
In the space of less than 20 years, the public school privatization movement has emerged from the narrow, right wing fringes to dominate both major political parties. From vouchers to school choice to charter schools, the issue has divided even Black Americans, who were once public education’s most fervent supporters. Glen Ford explains how this came about by wealthy individuals buying black politicians and promoting their careers, particularly Corey Booker.

You gotta watch this. This guy really hates Cory Booker. He also vehemently hates anything that takes a dime from government controlled public schools.
I’ll warn you, this things is an hour and fifteen minutes long, so set some time aside. But do watch the whole thing. If you like Kevin Baker’s work on the disgusting public school system, this video will show one of it enablers in full regalia.
