Cory Booker's Summit Speech

Cory Booker spoke at a political benefit for Summit Democrats on May 30th where he launched into a remembrance of Judy Diggs, a Newarker who had long been involved in local politics and education issues, the PTA, housing advocacy and more. She died last year at 63. Inaccuracies in Booker's speech about Diggs angered residents and family. Here is the video.

Hi,

Why nobody stand up for Julia Tymoshenko - ukrainian opposition leader to the criminal proputin invadors of Ukraine? She is so smart and brave lady - straggle herself with banditos.

I went to So.17th Street School and I knew Mrs. Diggs very well. Mr. Booker is telling the truth about. It's just that you would expect such a delivery from Sharp, not Booker. LOL..that was Mrs. Diggs.

Yeah we should have been burning down Orange you biggot.

Corey Booker is nothing but a tom ass, bootlickin, high yellow, white man's nigger. He works in a predominately black city and hires ALL whites. ALL whites. His most recent hired assistant has affiliations with the kkk. As u can see he ridicules blacks in a room full of whites. He ain't shit. Faggot ass.

I can hardly hear a damn thing because the volume is insufficient. I assume it is my monitor. Don't buy the monitor with the name "View Sonic" which supposedly combines sound and vision; it combines both but neither the sound nor the vision is very good.

As for the issues in the video: Newark as been a rubbish bin of human detritus for decades and progress cannot be expected from hordes of slatterns and sloths and slimey thugs.

You'd rather have Sharpe?

Who was banging prostitutes in Brazil with your taxes dollars while the crime rate soared?

Booker ain't gonna fix your city in one year because you want him to fail.

Booker didn't shoot those kids.

By the way, I'm 3rd generation Newarker and I'm from the "Park ave. Near Branch Brook Park" area

But he's too busy giving his buddies unjustified raises and increasing the amount of money his other campaign friends are getting from contracts they now have with the City...While increasing property taxes & water. Oh, and lets not forget about the planned lay-off.

When will Corey and his band of bookerites (such as yourself) stop trying to "pass the buck" onto the last administration, a year+ after the fact. Let us say, for argument sake, Corey actually does something (by some miracle of God) to get rid of the high crime rate...I would surely not protest...By all means, do what is needed to rid of this problem...
