📣 Cory Booker’s Latest Senate Show: Spartacus 2 — The Rant Awakens
the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Washington, D.C. – Grab your popcorn, folks—Cory Booker is back at it with another high-octane Senate speech that had more drama than a Bravo reunion special.
The New Jersey senator, once known for declaring “I am Spartacus!” during a hearing, returned to form this week with a new rant—this time aimed directly at his fellow Democrats. Yes, his own party.
“It’s time for Democrats to have a backbone!” Booker declared, apparently under the impression he was in a Marvel movie instead of a budget committee meeting.
He went on to accuse colleagues of being “complicit” in Donald Trump’s governance, passionately warning that the former president is “eviscerating the Constitution.” (That poor Constitution. It just can’t catch a break.)
🎭 Spartacus 2: Rant Harder
Booker, clearly warmed up from his record-setting 25-hour Senate filibuster back in April, seemed ready for an encore.
He dramatically denounced a pair of pro-police bills, suggesting they were somehow part of a sinister Trumpian plot to—checks notes—fund mental health support and training programs for recruits. Scandalous!
But here’s the kicker: he didn’t vote against them.
Both bills passed unanimously. That’s right—Booker gave the political equivalent of a Broadway monologue… and then voted for the very measures he just slammed.
🧢 Ciattarelli: “Booker’s Off the Deep End”
Naturally, not everyone was impressed by Booker’s impromptu Shakespeare-in-the-Senate.
New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli wasn’t shy about calling it what it looked like:
“OFF THE DEEP END,” Ciattarelli posted. “Booker put on a hyper-partisan show… anti-police BS. Will Mikie Sherrill call him out? Don’t bet on it.”
Honestly, when your opponent compares you to Howard Dean and political fan fiction in the same breath, it might be time to rework the script.
🕰️ Long-Winded and Looking Ahead to 2028?
Booker’s flair for the dramatic isn’t just a one-off. Just a few months ago, he delivered a 25-hour Senate speech, setting a record for the longest solo address in chamber history. (Yes, really. And no, there were no commercial breaks.)
All this spectacle is fueling rumors that Booker is eyeing a 2028 presidential run. Because if there’s one thing Democrats love more than unity, it’s an audition tape.
🧩 The Takeaway: Booker’s Got Passion — But Does He Have a Point?
Booker’s rants may be passionate, theatrical, and certainly memorable—but when he ends up supporting the very legislation he rails against, it raises questions about whether he’s truly drawing lines… or just chasing headlines.
Whatever the case, one thing’s clear: in the Senate’s never-ending drama, Cory Booker always finds a way to land the lead role.
