Senator Cory Booker’s 25-hour Senate speech wasn’t brave – it was a desperate publicity stunt from a failed party. While minority communities struggle with real issues of crime, inflation, and educational failure, Democrats offer nothing but theatrics and false accusations of “white supremacy.” It’s time for all minority voters to demand real solutions instead of empty words.
This week, Senator Cory Booker staged a 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, breaking a 68-year-old record previously held by Senator Strom Thurmond. Associated Press The media celebrated this as some kind of heroic act of resistance. In reality, it was nothing but political theater designed to distract from Democrats’ complete failure to offer real solutions for minority communities.
Booker’s marathon was not a brave stand. It was a desperate attempt by Democrats to appear relevant while they have zero power in Washington. And what was Booker’s big message during his day-long monologue? The same tired, divisive playbook Democrats have been running for decades: accuse your opponents of “white supremacy” and hope nobody notices you have no actual policy solutions.
This isn’t Booker’s first time playing this card. Back in 2019, Booker claimed “white supremacy allows political leaders to promise to ‘build the wall’ — while not building hospitals, schools or infrastructure critical for the success of all Americans.” ABC News It’s the same predictable script: anything Republicans support must somehow be connected to racism.
When Democrats have no answers to skyrocketing crime in our communities, they cry “white supremacy.” When they have no solutions for failing schools, they cry “white supremacy.” When they can’t explain why Democratic policies have destroyed minority businesses, they cry “white supremacy.”
A White House spokesman correctly called out Booker’s stunt: “Cory Booker is looking for another ‘I am Spartacus’ moment, but that didn’t work for his failed presidential campaign, and it didn’t work to block President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.” Reuters
If Booker wants to talk about true “white supremacy,” he should look at the results of decades of Democratic policy in minority communities:
These are the real “structures of oppression” that hold back minority Americans – and they’re all created and maintained by the very Democrats who constantly lecture about “white supremacy.”
The most telling aspect of Booker’s performance was his choice to break Strom Thurmond’s speaking record. Thurmond, as Booker himself acknowledged, set that record filibustering the Civil Rights Act in 1957. Associated Press What Booker conveniently forgot to mention? Thurmond was a Democrat when he made that speech.
In fact, the Democratic Party has always been the party of racial division – from slavery to Jim Crow to today’s identity politics. Their playbook hasn’t changed; only their tactics have. Instead of blocking civil rights legislation, today’s Democrats manipulate minority voters with false claims of “white supremacy” while delivering nothing but failure.
As minority voters across America wake up to this manipulation, more and more are choosing political independence based on values, not identity. We’re asking a simple question: “Which policies actually work for our families, our businesses, and our communities?”
The answer isn’t found in 25-hour speeches filled with divisive rhetoric. It’s found in:
When asked about his speech, Booker said “It’s not left or right. It’s right or wrong.” The Washington Post On this single point, we actually agree with Senator Booker. It IS about right and wrong. And what’s wrong is continuing to give blind loyalty to a political party that delivers nothing but failure and division.
Booker’s theatrical performance might impress liberal media elites, but what has it actually accomplished for the single mother in Newark struggling with crime and inflation? What has it done for the Hispanic small business owner crushed by regulations and taxes? What has it delivered for the Asian American student denied college admission due to discriminatory policies?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
That’s the true measure of Democratic “resistance” – grand gestures that change nothing while real problems go unsolved.
It’s time for all minority voters – Black, Hispanic, Asian, and others – to demand real results over empty rhetoric. It’s time to judge politicians by their policies, not their performances. And it’s time to embrace political independence based on our values, not our identities.
Booker can keep his 25-hour speech record. We’ll take actual solutions instead.
