Does Sen. Cory Booker really not know about the website Breitbart or its founder? Maybe not. Alex Seitz-Wald, a reporter from NBC News, notes that a reporter from Breitbart (we’ll try to find out who) introduced herself, and the name Breitbard didn’t seem to ring a bell with the senator.
Breitbart reporter introduces herself at press conference.
Cory Booker: "What is this Bart that is Breit?"
Breitbart: It's named after a person. Andrew Breitbart.
Booekr: Who was Andrew?
Breitbart: He was a pioneer of citizen journalism.
Booker: Oh, that's fantastic.

That is fantastic. Quick, somebody burn a DVD of Breitbart hijacking Anthony Weiner’s press conference and have it delivered to Booker’s office, stat. Booker has some history to catch up on.
do we think he was being sincere? i couldn't tell.

Genuinely don't know
— Alex Seitz-Wald (@aseitzwald) October 23, 2019
Was Booker being sarcastic?
— Max Weiss (@maxthegirl) October 23, 2019
Genuinely could not tell, could go either way.
— Alex Seitz-Wald (@aseitzwald) October 23, 2019
What do you think? We’re guessing no, he wasn’t.
There is no way in hell Cory Booker doesn't know about Breitbart.

Uh.. It’s Cory Booker.
— Tim Stoner (@timothystoner) October 23, 2019
Cute response. Everyone in D.C. knows about Breitbart. Let's not overthink this.
— Charlotte Clymer?️? (@cmclymer) October 23, 2019
Seriously, who doesn’t know about Breitbart?
Gotta love Booker trolling Breitbart

Booker can troll with the best of them.
— Dave Lister (@DaveListerD) October 23, 2019
If he is trolling, he’s doing a masterful job.

wait is this real

I think Booker could hit 7-8% if he embraces this and goes full troll.
— Brendel (@Brendelbored) October 23, 2019
He might as well try.
Of course he knew who he was come on now
— Tara Gordon (@islandgirl222) October 23, 2019
Honestly disturbed to think Cory Booker doesn’t know about Breitbart
— Working Class ??? ??♀️ ??? ??? (@net_enforcer) October 23, 2019
What? I mean…. what??
— ProudLoserTeacher (@OpusInProgress) October 23, 2019
Is he being sarcastic or not?

what hole is this man living in

He called himself Spartacus during the Kavanaugh debacle. He's a well meaning guy, but he is not intellectually serious.

Is this real?

I hope this is a joke.

Surely you can’t be serious. pic.twitter.com/CRofDBZRO9

I’m hoping Booker was being sarcastic, but it’s hard to know…
— Dan H (@PoliticOwlDan) October 23, 2019
There is a less than zero percent chance Booker is trolling here he really is this corny
— eric black (@dapizzaroll) October 23, 2019
If Booker truly doesn’t know who Andrew Breitbart was, he’s completely unprepared and woefully unequipped to deal with Republican media.
— Don Hammond (@bluestatedon) October 23, 2019
If this is true, Booker needs to drop out of the race now rather than later.
— Linda Muehlig (@LindaMuehlig) October 23, 2019
Is Booker that ignorant or is he playing?
— Emm Martin (@emmartin173) October 23, 2019
The fact that people aren’t sure that he’s trolling doesn’t say a lot for Booker. We mean, he even seems serious about this whole running for president thing he’s got going on.
This hurts my brain.
