HUH? Cory Booker SERIOUSLY needs to check his privilege (or at least his DEFINITION of it)

No wonder Cory Booker’s so skinny. It must be really hard for him to eat when he’s always sticking his foot in his mouth:

“Marijuana has been legal for the people of privilege in this country for a long time,” @CoryBooker says to big applause from @NationalAction crowd on decriminalization.

People suffering from glaucoma, cancer patients, suffers of epilepsy, the elderly… you know, the privileged.

Nice work, Cory.

Eh. He's not wrong that rich people don't get in trouble for pot.

It’s his wording that’s the issue. If he framed it like you did. He frames it as only privileged people have access to legal weed, who are in actuality chronic illness sufferers or even terminal.

The moral of the story?

Identity politics ruins everything. Even legalizing weed. https://t.co/RZrAHO0qyp
