New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, one of the two dozen Democrats competing for the party's presidential nomination, said President Trump is weaponizing racial animus to sow division in the country for his own political gain.
"He is somebody that is using race like a weapon to divide our country against itself," Booker said on "Face the Nation" Sunday. "He's been using it since before he became president as a way to accelerate his gaining of political power." The New Jersey Democrat was referring to the president's recent attacks against four progressive lawmakers of color. Last week, Mr. Trump posted a series of racist tweets suggesting that Reps.

Democrats are the second best I’ve ever seen at projection.
They’re only vested by Palestinians.
Perhaps that’s why they both hate Jewish people.

Here again is the PROOF POSITIVE that the statement made by a number of prominent conservatives, that liberal/progressives almost always accuse their enemies of doing those things that they, themselves, are doing.

The labeling of racism is the ONLY thing the democrats have, and most people are getting tired of it. It's like that really terrible old song that you can't get out of your head.

The trouble facing Booker is that he realizes that the ''Orange Man'' has been good for the ''black man and woman.'' Much, much better than Obama or any other democrat in history! Black people have more brains than the democrats think they do!

PROJECTION = blaming or accusing someone of doing what you are doing, or have done, or been. The man who is so quick to accuse his wife of infidelity is probably habitually unfaithful himself. The group accusing others of racism, fascism, etc... are the racist and fascists themselves.

Amazing all the things that should have been talked about during the Obama reign of error, we are now hearing assigned to Trump. It isn't Trump who is the race baiting problem here, it is Obama and the DNC. Obama is still the leader of the party, not Hillary.

The only dividing that Trump is doing is separating the illegals from the citizens.

He is stuck at 2%, but may hang in for selection as VP nominee, depending on the presidential nominee. He would not help the ticket, but dimocrats will feel the need to have a black or female vp candidate. (It will not help them, but they may be stuck, doing that. And if Booker admits to his homosexuality, that would be a plus- a black male homosexual would kick Peter the Homosexual from South Bend, to the curb.
2020 will be the oddest campaign ever, and could be close, if a fake conservative goes third party - perhaps Mitt Romney will toss the golden tablets into the race.

That a Democrat can say this with a straight face, despite all the evidence that the reverse is true, shows that live in an alternate universe.
