We know this will come as a huge shock to you, but it seems that Cory Booker’s “Spartacus” grandstanding was an even bigger joke than we initially thought.
FNC’s Shannon Bream just shared this juicy little nugget:
Senate Judiciary Committee staffers tell our @GriffJenkins that the documents SenBooker released today were already agreed to and cleared late LAST NIGHT. Not clear exactly which senators knew that before Booker publicly announced he was willing to violate policy and release.

IOW, grandstanding.

So it was a FAKE Spartacus moment – LOL

So, he’s not Spartacus?
— KRenner (@KRenner2) September 6, 2018
So it was just a stunt. Shameful either way.

So in other words @SenBooker decided to grandstand…pander to the crowd….?
Hardly a Spartacus moment…???— D5418 (@Dee54181) September 6, 2018
But wait … there’s more:
So, now we're being told (by Committee staffers) that SenBooker knew BEFORE he made these statements – that the documents in question had already been cleared for release. That's a significant claim to make, so I've asked his office directly. Will update if/when I get response. https://t.co/lNxx3wEVCZ

Here’s what happened: Last night, Senators Leahy, Coons, Blumenthal and Booker requested that certain “committee confidential” documents be made public for use during the hearing for Judge Kavanaugh. https://t.co/nAmaAI5sxm

Wow. So all that drama .. I hope he is called out in hearing for that

Would be the ultimate clowntastic cherry on this stupid sundae: https://t.co/UwQG2dcmUL

It really would.
It takes a very brave man, which Booker must be, to look so foolish.

What can he say? He’s a legend in his own mind.
If you've been paying attention, you just saw Cory Booker take the entire left for a ride and the media is happily going to let it fade away.

Cory Booker has absolutely no shame. https://t.co/EwCzc6UAOz

Let's recap:
Cory Booker pretended to break Senate rules to release emails that showed Brett Kavanaugh was AGAINST racial profiling.
That's gotta be the lamest stunt ever.
