Democrats tried every trick in the book to stop Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
But one Democrat pulled an anti-Trump stunt that no one could believe.
And it backfired and ended in this career-killing humiliation.
Democrats Fail To Stop Judge Brett Kavanaugh
Democrats turned Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings into a circus.
Senators interrupted the event.
Protesters shouted and were dragged out of the room kicking and screaming.
Kavanaugh’s two young daughters were rushed out of the room because liberals became so violent.
However, Republicans will confirm Kavanaugh because of Harry Reid.
In 2013, Reid changed Senate rules to needing 51 votes to confirm nominees except Supreme Court judges.
Democrats filibustered Neil Gorsuch and Republicans followed the Reid path and changed the rules for Supreme Court Justices.
Democrats were left with throwing temper tantrums and pulling stunts to show their base they were fighting.
Corey Booker Takes Center Stage
New Jersey Senator Corey Booker is running for President in 2020.
That means he needs to show Democrat voters he will do anything to resist Donald Trump.
But Booker crossed a line.
During the hearing, he stated he was going to release Kavanaugh’s emails.
Republican Senator John Cornyn told him that the Senate could vote to expel Booker.
Booker yelled, “I am Spartacus!”
Shannon Bream of Fox News tweeted:
SenBooker says this is closest I’ll get to my “I am Spartacus” moment – I’m knowingly violating policy – and to SenCornyn – bring it on. If you think I’m really breaking a Senate rule – I hope you’ll bring charges against me – also against Durbin, Coons, Whitehouse, Hirono, etal

Booker’s stunt was a fake news hoax.
He reached a deal with Republicans the night before to release the emails.
Booker knew he faced no threat of being kicked out of the Senate.
Here’s what happened: Last night, Senators Leahy, Coons, Blumenthal and Booker requested that certain “committee confidential” documents be made public for use during the hearing for Judge Kavanaugh. https://t.co/nAmaAI5sxm

Chairman Grassley went to bat for them, and worked with the Justice Department and office of former President Bush to waive the relevant statutory restrictions on those documents. Those restrictions were waived before 4:00 AM this morning and made ready for release.

In short, Sen. Booker made a scene this morning about committee confidential docs that Chairman Grassley helped make public prior to the hearing today.

Trey Gowdy Destroys Corey Booker
Booker deserved to be the butt of the jokes.
He “leaked” emails that showed Brett Kavanaugh opposed racial profiling.
So the documents that Cory Booker violated committee rules to release shows that Kavanaugh rejected the use of race or national origin in airport security screening and law enforcement generally in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 https://t.co/aNIkqWeN01 pic.twitter.com/bhyBG17uz2

Trey Gowdy went on Fox News and piled on.
He said, “I’ve known Cory since I got to Washington. That’s not the @CoryBooker that I know, that I watched on television…that is someone trying to position himself as the front-runner so he can take on Donald Trump.”
By the end of the day, pundits of all stripes were mocking Booker.
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin admitted Booker had belly flopped.
But some Republicans wished Mitch McConnell had kicked Booker out of the Senate.
Booker would have shot to the top of the Democrat Presidential primary.
However, Booker revealed himself to be a lightweight and a fraud.
Donald Trump would easily defeat a hapless liar like Booker.
Trump will run for re-election on the back of a booming economy.
Jobless claims fell to a 50 year low.
Consumer confidence also spiked to its highest level in 18 years.
And black unemployment is at the lowest level ever.
A fraud like Booker stands no chance to defeat Trump.
