Remember When Cory Booker Confessed To Groping A High School Girl Without Her Consent?

Cory “Spartacus” Booker is calling for the FBI to conduct an investigation into Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations that Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school pool party.

Which incidentally, brings up what Cory Booker was up to in High School…

Maybe we should have the FBI look into this.https://t.co/rcQPvjxFA5

“New Year’s Eve 1984 I will never forget. I was 15. As the ball dropped, I leaned over to hug a friend and she met me instead with an overwhelming kiss. As we fumbled upon the bed, I remember debating my next ‘move’ as if it were a chess game.”

Ok. Sounds normal enough. High School love. Whatever.

And then…

“With the ‘Top Gun’ slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast. After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my ‘mark,’” he continued. “Our groping ended soon and while no ‘relationship’ ensued, a friendship did. You see, the next week in school she told me that she was drunk that night and didn’t really know what she was doing.”

OOOKAY then. She pushed his hand away. He groped her anyway… Then found out she was REALLY drunk.

If you take a #METoo lens to this… Cory Booker should resign and be publicly shamed forever. Right? He groped a girl who not only rejected his advances, but was too drunk to give consent in the first place.

I’m pretty sure #MeToo has been VERY clear about what this is.

As transcribed here:

“In retrospect, my soliloquy titled ‘The Oppressive Nature of Male Dominated Society and Its Violent Manifestations Rape, Anorexia, Battered Wives’ may have been a surreptitious attempt to convince her that I was a sensitive man, but more likely I was trying to convince myself that my attitudes had changed,” Booker wrote.

This is actually very common on the left. Many of the same men who call conservative women the c-word and hope they get killed and raped on Twitter also call themselves “feminists” for believing women should be able to kill babies.

Cool, dudes.

Months later, in another article for the Daily, Booker referred to the column, which he said was about “date rape.”“But by my second column, as I raised my noble pen to address the issue of date rape, I realized that the person holding it wasn’t so noble after all,” he wrote. “With this issue as with so many others, a dash of sincere introspection has revealed to me a dangerous gap — a gap between my beliefs and my actions.”

His actions, of course, being the fact that he groped a girl’s breasts without her consent.

Let’s be clear here:

So basically, there is more factual evidence that Senator Cory Booker sexually assaulted a fellow high school student than there is about the man he’s trying to block from #SCOTUS.

Yup.

Well this clearly eliminates him for consideration for President by the standards set by himself and his fellow democrats. #Iamspartacus #bookersahypocrit

He states he is a changed man…..so what? In the era of the #Metomovement which he fully endorses he must resign. What goes around comes around.

PS

Also for context, * Cory Booker believes 17 year olds shouldn’t be held responsible for their actions. https://t.co/fIQnpt37si

HMM. Interesting.

As it happens, Senator Booker is a sponsor of something called the REDEEM Act — with the GOP’s Senator Rand Paul. The proposed legislation centers on expunging the records of juveniles convicted of non-violent crimes, thus ensuring some teenage mistake does not follow them for a lifetime. While what Kavanaugh is accused of presumably would be classified as “violent,” again, he was never charged much less prosecuted for this.

But in an explanation of his concern for teenagers who get in trouble, as here at the Senator’s website, Booker says this, bold print supplied:

Studies of youth brain development have found that the decision-making functions of the brain do not fully develop until much later than was previously believed to be the case. Despite this, some states still try 17-, and even 16,-year-olds as adults by default.The REDEEM Act incentivizes states to establish 18 years old as a floor for original jurisdiction by adult criminal courts by allowing preference to be given to Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant applications that originate from states that have enacted similar or stronger provisions.

In other words? If one assumes that Christine Ford’s account is accurate, it happened for one reason — the reason that no less than Cory Booker himself has — truthfully — asserted. Again, that is this:

Studies of youth brain development have found that the decision-making functions of the brain do not fully develop until much later than was previously believed to be the case. Despite this, some states still try 17-, and even 16,-year-olds as adults by default.

In other words? The activities of a 17-year-old Brett Kavanaugh, not to mention 15-year-old Christine Blasey, were the result of immature teenagers whose “decision-making functions” were impaired to begin with because they had brains that were not “fully” developed. Not to mention that if Booker is literally sponsoring legislation that would make it the law of the land to seal youthful criminal records, there is no way that Ford’s 36-years later allegation — when no charges were even filed in the day — should be relevant in the first place.

Do I agree?

Nope. I think 16 and 17-year-olds should be held accountable for their actions.

I also think Booker should be held to his OWN standards.
