Cory Booker

There's nobody in the Senate that was calling for defunding the police. Everybody, every Democrat in the Senate has a record for increasing funding towards local policing. So what we're talking about here is more not that we didn't have the policy ideas, not that we didn't fight, but we had serious gaps in communicating.

communicating authentically that connected with people's heads as well as their hearts and making people understand that we are fighting for them. As I've watched for my 12 years in the Senate, when we get into these scrums and are talking about like tax extenders, it's like, boring policy stuff. But I will never forget, Claire McCaskill was sitting next to me at a Senate caucus lunch.

I'm new in the Senate. Harry Reid puts on the board, this column, the tax extenders and we're fighting for and the tax extenders that they were fighting for. And this is a negotiation Harry Reid was talking about. And I could understand in plain English, what we were fighting for was an extension, child tax credit, earned income tax credit, I understood everything on our side of the ledger.

But I'm, again, the worst thing that you often do when you have people perceive you as being really smart is you fail to ask the stupid questions. But here I was in a private moment. I turned to Claire McCaskill and said, Claire, I don't understand what these things are in this gobbledygook.

And she goes, oh, Corey, that's allowing corporations to get a bigger tax cut for, you know, when they offshore this and this. And she started, she's a really smart person and been in the Senate. And I'm like, why doesn't America see this? I looked at her and I go, like, they are fighting for the rich, powerful, record profit making corporations to get more advantages.

And we're fighting for the average American. Like, why don't people understand that this is the moral math? that has been going on for 25 years as from the Bush administration all the way to Donald Trump has been giving more and more tax cuts out, putting our country more in financial crisis because Republicans build up debt and deficits.

Democrats from Bill Clinton to Obama to even Biden are cutting deficits. Why don't people understand? Okay, okay, okay. Biden didn't cut any deficits. No, are you kidding me? I'm sorry.
