"Vice President Biden, like many leaders over the years, was calling direct attention to the daily experiences faced by many African American men around the country and the perceived so-called 'threat' from people like Trayvon Martin who were racially profiled and deemed 'criminal' while wearing a hoodie," said Jamal Brown, national press secretary for the campaign.
"As the context of his remarks noted, we need to 'Make sure black mothers feel confident when they send their child, their son, out on the streets that they're going to feel safe.'" This comes as Biden has faced mounting criticism for some of his past positions on racial issues as well as his close relationships with noted segregationists, Sens. James Eastland, D-Miss., and Herman Talmadge, D-Ga.
Earlier this month, Biden and Booker went back and forth over Biden's lauding the “civility” of the 1970s and ‘80s in the Senate when he was able to work with those two segregationist senators.Biden again seemed to stumble on the issue of race at Thursday’s Democratic debate when Sen. Kamala Harris of California directly attacked his past opposition to federally mandated school busing to integrate schools.
On Friday before a largely African American crowd, Biden laid out his vision for universal pre-K and for improving teaching quality for all children. He also said he would repeal President Donald Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy in an effort to direct more money toward helping middle-class and low-income Americans.
Let’s fight the real racist, Trump. Not the ones that trying to replace him...!
While Twitter and his cult undermines democracy every day, it's a shame great candidates like Booker waste so much time on trying to dissect Biden's past politics and careless language. Have candidates already forgotten what we're all up against?
Stop 🛑 CoryBooker . ENOUGH already
They are trying so hard to lose this election and re-elect Trump. Imo
Although I'm voting Blue whoever wins the nomination needs to be prepared to Double Down on Trump on his past & unresolved escapades knowing full well he will do his best to find Dirt on them for sure.
Can we all keep race out of this ? Too much already !
Kamala and Booker are doing a good job being against Biden but what are they actually for? KamalaHarris already backtracked on M4A
This boy knows how to keep his name in the Limelight. Pure races and thrives on it to continue the Democrat agenda of separation for control
CoryBooker As a former New Jersey’ite for over 20 years, I’ve been a great supporter of Booker, until He’s gone Full Tilt “Al Sharpton” on us. Not only has he lost my backing, I’m embarrassed by him, and his desperate attempt to stay relevant.
Enough already, Booker, you’re hurting yourself over these cheap shots at Biden. You just go from one “thing” to the next. You had a good debate, but much more of this crap and you’re done
A campaign who only uses (race) in this (race) is out of (place). Especially when it is overblown.
I'm sick to death of Corey Booker!!! He needs to get his freaking chip off his shoulder!!
.CoryBooker is trying to survive by attacking Joe! What a pity! Maybe CoryBooker can take more Spanish classes for 3032! Let’s inform CoryBooker that while he’s attacking Joe our Prez is putting our country at risk! Do your fling job and FOCUS👉CoryBooker!! adamslily CNN
The point is this, we are asking the Democratic party to not take the Black vote for granted. We have some items in the Black community that must be addressed before or while you lift up DACA. That's all. No big deal. Just take us seriously.
These are painful discussions to have but the truth must be told. These are issues that must be acknowledged considering the Democratic party was the party of segregationist. We can't just sweep that under the rug. If we deal with these issues now we'll maximize turnouts.
Booker is in the weeds
If they don't start talking about the economy, Trump is a shoo-in.
SenBooker is nothing more than a racebaiter
You've got to be kidding. What word will we not be able to say next? Have we become that sensitive? Even when what is being said that we can't stereotype just because a young black kid or young man is wearing a hoodie
Why is Booker playing the race card with Joe Biden. I'm black & don't feel Biden is a racist. This is why Booker will never get my vote
The criminal trump and Don Jr. were hoping they could drag out that old tired insult they unsuccessfully lobbed at SenWarren to use it against SenKamalaHarris but they came up short. Lmao
'HE/SHE WILL say and DO whatever IT takes to win an election.' Democrats use the same old LABELING BULLSHIT, even against THEIR own. Start with racism/racist BS when YOU have NOTHING to work with, then work ALL of the PHOBIAS & repeat, repeat, repeat. AUTOMATIC NO VOTE. NEXT?
And the win goes to trump .... guaranteed kamala officially screwed the party up now everyone is now having to take a side in a decision how old? Good job kamala
Could we get back to focusing on income inequality, climate change, health care, and education. We’ve done 2+ years of reality TV already. Focusing on the issues and connecting to the people in this country will lead to the nominee. This isn’t the way to go.
Booker searching for an issue on Biden's comment where this is none. We have another 15 months of this hair-splitting and faux outrage? How about discussing fresh ideas and solutions to make govt more effective, instead of posturing for every special interest and demographic?
New material please
CoryBooker i really thought that you were better than this. the only REAL press you are getting is when u criticize JoeBiden no news really of your own. You have really lowered my opinion of you..it is pathetic. Be your own candidate or sit down...preferring that you sit down
Joe 3x loser is almost toast 🍞.... but Cory Booker is exploiting the Out-of-Touch , 76 year old guy... move on with another issue (s).
This bastard will play the race card at the drop of a hat. He admits that Biden isn’t racist, so what’s his fucking point. I guess slinging shit at the front runner seems like a good idea when you are polling at 3% . Booker is just grabbing for straws as his campaign falters !
Joe Biden is speaking the same language that he spoke as VP. So, if Booker has a problem with Joe, he also has a problem with Obama's decision-making. Obama chose Joe. Who'd you vote for in '08, Cory? How about in '12? If you elected him then, you respect him now!
Sen. Booker has 'Problems'.
Uncle Joe needs to take a seat somewhere! His ship has sailed!!
This seems so Booker; not as sharp as Kamala, and tryin to eat the Biden scraps.. - Sen. Booker takes aim at Joe Biden's 'hoodie' language about race. (link:
I love when an uncle tom calls out people for stuff like this. Jesus dude. Booker, why did kushner donate to you? U have an agenda to take biden out....ur love of jeff sessions says it all.
If anyone is making it stereotypical...it’s you CoryBooker
Oh stop it.
