In a moment that would be laughable if it weren’t so detached from reality, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ)—yes, the same one who once dramatically declared “I am Spartacus” during the Kavanaugh hearings—took to MSNBC to declare that he’s ready to be jailed for his resistance to President Donald Trump. Apparently, Booker thinks shouting into the void of cable news is the modern equivalent of civil rights heroism.
Booker’s melodramatic comments came during a July 10 appearance on *The Briefing with Jen Psaki*, the ratings-challenged show hosted by Biden’s former press secretary. The two far-left figures united to whine about President Trump’s strong leadership and try to gin up some energy for their increasingly exhausted base.
Psaki opened with a softball question about how Booker responds when President Trump “attacks” him—because pointing out someone’s public record now counts as an attack to the Left. Without missing a beat, Booker launched into a monologue that sounded more like a high school theater audition than a serious political stance.
“I’m going to continue to fight,” Booker declared. “I don’t care if this president calls me out every day, mean tweets me, threatens me… throw me in jail. Do what you have to do. I’m going to continue to stand up for what’s right.”
What’s “right,” according to Booker, seems to include supporting violent radicals like Rep. LaMonica McIver and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka—both of whom were arrested for storming an ICE facility and assaulting federal agents. Instead of condemning their criminal behavior, Booker bizarrely framed it as political persecution: “They’re picking off…people that live in Newark that are in elected positions.”
No, Senator, they’re being arrested for *breaking the law*—something Democrats used to pretend to care about.
The senator didn’t stop there. He framed the Trump administration’s efforts to restore law and order as an all-out assault on “democracy” and “freedom,” saying, “We’ve got to have more people willing to stand up and fight and take him on.”
Translation: resist Trump at all costs, even if it means supporting lawlessness.
Let’s be clear—President Trump’s DOJ has been working to restore order, secure the border, and protect Americans. If that makes radical Democrats uncomfortable, maybe they should reconsider their alliance with mobs who storm ICE facilities and shout down law enforcement.
Booker’s MSNBC tirade is yet another example of the Democratic Party’s descent into political theater over substance. He’s not standing for justice—he’s standing for chaos, for criminal behavior, and for the tired narrative that every Democrat who faces consequences is somehow a “victim” of Trump’s “authoritarianism.”
The American people aren’t buying it.
In 2025, they’ve made it clear: they want leaders who defend the law, not grandstanding senators auditioning for attention on failing cable news shows. Spartacus is back—but all he’s fighting is reality.
