In an unprecedented move Senator Cory Booker testified against fellow Senator Jeff Sessions at his confirmation hearing on the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Booker’s testimony included a bizarre call for love, hope and healing… at an AG confirmation hearing.
That was weird.
I pray that my colleagues will join me in opposing Jeff Sessions' nomination. – @CoryBooker pic.twitter.com/l3lW1asDBc

Cory Booker Makes Public Plea For Attention
Attention hungry Cory Booker made history on Wednesday becoming the first sitting senator that testified against another sitting senator for a cabinet post.
Booker said that “The arc of the moral universe does not just naturally curve toward justice, we must bend it,” Booker said. “America needs an attorney general who is resolute and determined to bend the arc. Sen. Sessions record does not speak to that desire, intention or will.”
Sessions’ former staffer on the Judiciary Committee, William Smith came to his defense and countered the lies coming from Cory Booker.
“Members of this committee know Sen. Sessions … is fair and honest,” Smith said. “After 20 years of knowing Sen. Sessions, I have not seen the slightest evidence of racism because it does not exist. I know a racist when I see one, and I have seen more than one. Sen. Sessions is not one.”
