Cory Booker vs. Cory Booker

Yesterday, Newark Mayor Cory Booker spoke about his frustration with the course of Democrat and Republican campaigning. But part of his statement emerged as a defense of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital – not something his party mates on the Democrat side were happy to hear.

Meet the Press Video Booker’s comments at 6:45

In the video you can watch Jim Kramer’s reaction to Booker’s words. It seems to indicate how surprised he is to hear a Democrat Mayor speaking from the Republican playbook.

Booker later took to YouTube to try and soften his message and assuage Democrats, but it’s an open question as to how far he went, or if he at all succeeded.
