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

And right now, one of my biggest areas of focus is stopping this bill that will gut Medicaid and healthcare for 80, 90 million people and endanger hospitals. And we need Republicans of good conscience like we did in 2017 with the Affordable Care Act, to vote with us. And so playing this as a partisan game should cheapen the larger cause of the country.

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

And so this is the time that America needs moral leadership and not political leadership. And that's what I'm standing up and saying. I'm accepting responsibility for my own leadership failings. And I'm telling people right now, I want to appeal to the soul, the heart, the conscience of our country.

Ambassadors and ministers from other countries will come in my office right here and sit down and basically give a WTF, sometimes quite literally. I remember after Trump sided with China and Russia against European allies on Ukraine. It was such a stunning blow to people that work in diplomacy on a regular basis to see America turn their back like this.

It makes no sense to them the way America's working. How dare Donald Trump treat dictators and authoritarian leaders like pals and friends and allies and treat allies, literally calling them dictators, and treat them in this way? This is despicable behavior from the highest office in the land.

We know that people preyed upon Jewish populations during the Red Scare and used hate and anti-Semitism in a different way then as a tool to pursue what I consider a dark chapter in American history. political opportunists will exploit fear, hate, and division for their larger authoritarian aims. And that's exactly what Donald Trump is doing.
