Senator Cory Booker’s “Spartacus” theatrics at yesterday’s Kavanaugh hearing might have quickly fallen apart, but the Resistance isn’t about to let reality ruin Booker’s drama, as evidenced by Slate’s hot take:
The documents Cory Booker released don’t matter. His “I Am Spartacus” moment did. https://t.co/TqjgLfu49d pic.twitter.com/L3dUpAz2vF

The show must go on!

Slate is so desperate to find a decent 2020 contender they'll do anything to try and convince the public they have one…even if they look like fools doing it.
