'My testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching him, which would be bad for this elderly, out-of-shape man that he is if I did that... this physically weak specimen,' Booker said
New Jersey Senator Cory Booker on Monday’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” said the country is facing a “moral moment” in which Democratic candidates must take the high road in order to defeat Donald Trump in the next election. ‘My testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching him, which would be bad for this elderly, out-of-shape man that he is if I did that... this physically weak specimen.’ The receptive audience laughed.
Booker then switched gears and explained that, at this time of “moral vandalism,” the U.S. needs a different kind of leader. “You don’t beat a bully like him fighting him on his tactics, on his terms, using his turf,” Booker told Meyers in the interview. “He’s the body-shamer, he’s the guy that tries to drag people in the gutter... we need not to talk about necessarily what we’re against, but what we’re for.” Booker is currently polling at 1.8% in seventh place, just behind Beto O’Rourke.
