It's Not a Crisis Unless Cory Booker Gets It Unbelievably Wrong

You have to give Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) credit for consistency; every time he opens his mouth, something stupid comes out. In this latest outpouring of attempted hoodwinkery, Senator Spartacus (yes, that's sarcasm) is lauding the rioters in the Los Angeles area and slamming President Trump for doing something about it when nobody else will.

I mean, just get a load of this guy.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., suggested the Los Angeles riots that have wreaked havoc on the city are "peaceful" on NBC’s "Meet the Press," Sunday, and accused President Donald Trump of "sowing chaos" with his nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration.
"The reality is, we see peaceful protests launching in Los Angeles," the New Jersey senator said, "A lot of these peaceful protests are being generated because the president of the United States is sowing chaos and confusion by arresting people who are showing up for their immigration hearings."

You know, Senator, when you lie to people, you're supposed to include a kernel of truth, so people don't have their ability to willingly suspend their disbelief completely destroyed. It's not "sowing chaos and confusion" to detain and repatriate people who are in the country illegally. These people knowingly entered the country illegally and knowingly remain in the country illegally, and sensible people have little sympathy for them. President Trump made this a major part of his presidential campaign, and he won convincingly.

So, this is what the American people voted for.

The esteemed Senator and purveyor of bunkum also said:

Booker called Trump’s response to the LA riots "hypocritical at best" due to his pardoning of the January 6 Capitol rioters. The Garden State senator said that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard was a break from tradition and would only "incite" the situation.

Here's what's inciting the situation: People waving Mexican flags are blocking streets, throwing rocks at law enforcement officers, and interfering with federal officers in the legal conduct of their duties, that being the enforcement of our immigration laws. These laws are neither conditional nor optional. That's not how the law works, and if an illegal immigrant from Norway were to block an American city street, waving a Norwegian flag and throwing rocks at the cops who responded, he would be just as swiftly scooped up and sent back to Oslo.

Here, from the article linked above, is a description of the "peaceful" riots:

Federal agents attempted to disperse the belligerent rioters with flash grenades and tear gas on Saturday. In Compton, rioters set a car on fire and two motorcyclists circled the flaming wreck while waving a Mexican flag. Elsewhere, anti-ICE rioters attempted to block a federal bus carrying illegal immigrants, physically pushing against the vehicle as it inched forward.
One rioter hurled rocks through the windshield of a Border Patrol pickup truck, wounding the agents inside. Images released by the Department of Homeland Security show buildings throughout LA that have been defaced with graffiti of violent messages like "Kill ICE."

Sure, "Kill ICE" sounds peaceful, doesn't it?

This event constituted a rebellion against lawful authority. That's what it is. The rebels must be dealt with accordingly, by arrest, trial, and punishment. This has to happen; if the rioters are seen to get off lightly, they will only be emboldened, and the next such riot will be worse.

Elected officials like Senator Cory "Spartacus" Booker do nothing to help the American people with his grandstanding, his dissembling, and his constant drumbeat of self-promotion. To Senator Booker, I can only say this: Shame on you, Senator. Shame.
