Cory Booker: “America Needs Moral Leadership, and Not Political Leadership”

No, I wouldn't say indefinitely. Look, the last baby boomers are leaving power in American politics. This is the last baby boomer president. Chuck is the last baby boomer leader of the Senate. A new generation is dawning. And my critique thus far is, of my generation and millennials is that we have failed to step up and say, like generations before us, that it's time to dream America anew.

We have an inquiry out to the committee for permission to go on a formal CODEL, but I'm watching the whole sort of immigration field and finding out where my presence, where me physically visiting and going is most important, and whether it's CCOT or some of the detention facilities here in our state or with some of the people. I was in touch with

Some Afghans are here on that just got word, in fact, that they no longer have temporary protective status and they're to leave within the week. These are Afghan Christians. who are being told to go back to a country run by the Taliban. So wherever I can help bring attention, I think that I would say it was nothing short of heroic what my friend Chris Van Hollen did.

I know you ask questions as are the Democrats. I'm trying to broaden this to say are Americans. The responsibility falls on all of us. That's totally fair. But you've got a job and I do too. But New Jersey did not send me to Washington to be a great Democratic senator. They sent me to be a great New Jersey senator and a great fighter for America.
