Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."
Senator Cory Booker has just started his 23rd hour during his marathon speech on the Senate floor.
Only one hour and 18 minutes before he beats Strom Thurmond’s record!
You can do it, Cory!!!!!!!!
Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.
Senator Cory Booker to Chuck Schumer:
"You cannot yield the floor because I have the floor, sir. I retain the floor. This is one of the few times in my life I'll get to tell Chuck Schumer what the rules are here."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Our nation’s children are our most precious resource. When our kids thrive, America thrives. Dismantling the Department of Education will overwhelm local school systems, further burn out our teachers, and hurt children from all backgrounds.
NOW: Cory Booker is approaching the 20th hour of his Senate filibuster and is still ON FIRE: “This is an American moral moment. This is a question of where do we stand for healthcare? Where do we stand for Social Security? Where do we stand for VA benefits? Where do we stand for our American neighbor when the call and commandment of every faith in our land is to love your neighbor. What is the quality of our love America?”
Holy shit, Senator Cory Booker STILL going, asking are we better off now than we were 71 days ago, my answer is HELL NO.
The record filibuster length is 24 hours and 18 minutes.
GO SENATOR BOOKER! 🙏💪
