Not satisfied just trashing America at Netroots Nation, Cory Booker also took ANTI-ISRAEL photo

by Fred T

This year’s Netroots Nation, a gathering of loopy liberals and nutbar activists, is even nuttier and loopier than usual. As expected. So Senator Cory Booker must feel right at home. And it shows, because his comfort-level is resulting in his letting the freak flag fly.

First it flew in a rant about how America is cruel and unjust – a sequel to his calling Americans evil for supporting Judge Kavanaugh – and then it flew when he decided to pose for a pic with a radical anti-Israel group while holding an anti-Israel sign and standing next to the dumbest anti-Israel shirt slogan in the universe.

Here is a screenshot of the tweet, because memory-holes happen.

That group he is posing with, the ones bragging and tagging him in the tweet, are BDS-supporting extremists, with financial ties to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, to name a few.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that a Booker spokesperson offered this lame excuse.

“Just before delivering a speech in New Orleans, Senator Booker was approached by dozens of people for photos,” Giertz told JTA in an email.

“In one instance, amid the rush, he was posing for a photo and was passed a sign to hold – he didn’t have time to read the sign, and from his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel,” Giertz said. “He hopes for a day when there will be no need for security barriers in the State of Israel, but while active terrorist organizations threaten the safety of the people living in Israel, security barriers are unfortunate but necessary to protect human lives.”

Ha ha ha, weak. Republicans only have to be in the same room as a racist to be called a racist, Cory doesn’t get off the hook for literally posing with a sign with the group next to the shirt slogan. He didn’t even remove his name from the Twitter tags. No sale, pal.

OH right, about that shirt?
