Senator Cory ‘Spartacus’ Booker (D-NJ) announced his 2020 presidential bid from his Twitter account Friday morning.
Booker’s message? “We Will Rise.”
The two-and-a-half minute video Booker posted to Twitter was littered with Marxist doublespeak of “collective action,” “collective will” and class warfare.
“I believe that we can build a country where no one is forgotten, no one is left behind; where parents can put food on the table; where there are good-paying jobs with good benefits in every neighborhood; where our criminal-justice system keeps us safe, instead of shuffling more children into cages and coffins; where we see the faces of our leaders on television and feel pride, not shame,” Cory Booker said in the video posted to Twitter.
“I’m running for president. Join me on this journey,” Booker tweeted on Friday morning.
