Busted! Cory Booker comes out swinging against DeVos, but there's a BIG problem

I can't tell if Booker thinks we're alll stupid or is in a very desperate way trying to outrun the inevitable

Cory Booker is mad, you guys. And it’s all thanks to that evil Betsy DeVos, who, despite Democrats and teachers unions’ best efforts, was confirmed today as education secretary.

Cory’s not gonna take this lying down:

To all who are angry or frustrated about today's vote confirming DeVos, please know: the vote may be over, but our fight must continue. pic.twitter.com/QHFveiRv9d

That makes this incredibly awkward:

remember when you gave a speech at DeVos's school privatization org and called it "incredible" https://t.co/tKLJLBNT8a

“The fight.” Booker worked with DeVos and called her organization “incredible.” He used to speak at her events, too. https://t.co/xOXNBVG7wS

Yep. Let’s fire up the ol’ wayback machine, shall we?

If only T-Bone had warned him that his past words would eventually catch up to him.

You were happy to work with her not that long ago. What changed? You running for president?
