Summary
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) broke the record for longest Senate floor speech at 25 hours and 5 minutes, surpassing the 24-hour, 18-minute filibuster by former Sen. Strom Thurmond, who opposed the 1957 Civil Rights Act.
Booker said it “irked” him that Thurmond’s record symbolized efforts to block civil rights.
He used the speech to protest potential GOP spending cuts and Trump-era policies.
Supported by fellow Democrats, Booker remained standing and speaking for over a day, calling his action a symbolic reclaiming of the Senate’s legacy.
He took the high score from a dick so it wasn’t up there anymore with his name.
Move along; this isn’t the thing you need to hyper-focus your anger on about the party that has been given no ability to stop the halfwit aristocracy led by a felon and maybe a traitor and somehow isn’t using that lack of options to magically save the people who sat back and abdicated or voted a serial rapist and felon in over the likes who would have put him in prison.
This guy’s fucking-around has nothing to do with your continued finding-out.
