Cory Booker’s Israel Panic Flub Turns Into An ‘Arrested Development’ Moment

Plus, Aaron and Katie compare their latest debates on Piers Morgan

This week the Democrats have folded themselves end-over-end in a superfluous effort to prove to the public something that everyone’s known for some time: “We’re pushovers!”

On this Thursday Throwdown, Katie and Aaron are spotlighting two Democratic tools of the Zionist lobby: NJ Senator Cory Booker, who has received over $800,000 from the Israel lobby to vote at their will, and 2028 presidential hopeful Governor Gavin Newsom. Both were asked simple questions about Israel.

Booker was asked: “Do you think Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal?”

His answer: “I, I, I, again, these are these are questions that a lot of people think are the important litmus tests that are loaded and hot…I get these questions all the time that to me undermine my urgency… Here’s a here’s a yes or no for you: Do I think Netanyahu’s worse than Trump? Yes.”

After a mess of an answer, does he think you’re allowed to substitute a different yes-or-no question for the one asked? Is that how it works? But as if to make Booker’s answer sound intelligent, Gavin Newsom sunk even lower.

His interviewer says: “I will not vote for a candidate that takes $1 from AIPAC.”

Newsom’s response: “That’s interesting. I mean, it’s it’s interesting I haven’t thought about AIPAC. And it’s interesting you’re like the first to bring up AIPAC in years, which is interesting. Not, not relevant to the my day-to-day life. Which is just interesting. It’s interesting you say that…it’s just interesting.”

That response was… thought-provoking.

And we couldn’t help but see a parallel between these two joker Dems and a certain favorite Arrested Development moment:
