Cory Booker

You made television commercials attacking my friend and fellow Senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, deriding his work to find common ground on immigration.

I think most of us here would believe that Senator McCain is an American hero.

You have advocated for discriminatory policies toward the LGBT community. That runs contrary to the civil rights of Americans.

Your recent public service career does not instill the confidence about your leadership or ability to bring people together.

I believe is that right now unions are the bulwark between the sliding of wages...

We in America have a real problem right now. Almost 50 percent... are working in jobs in America that make $15 an hour or less.

The economy is not working for them.

I want to be deferential to Chairman Thune, one of the few Senators who can bench press more than I can.

I do support the funding for Amtrak and making sure that we have a rail system that serves the entirety of this country.

A dollar spent on the Gateway Program is probably one of the best in terms of returns for economic growth

This appointment is a responsibility that I will faithfully execute to the best of my abilities.

A proposed decrease. Now, I bring that up to you really because, and I--and I think I have heard you talk to this, but I would like for you to speak to it now.

We have been operating in Niger and the surrounding area for about a little over 20 years now.

Has anything in our nuclear chain of command doctrine changed between the previous administration and this administration?

We seem to be involved in places like Nigeria, and you know that as we decrease efforts in stabilizing democracies, helping with food aid, creating an environment where there is stability, and we are involved in partnering with militaries…
