Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement melted down on Monday night over a video of Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) making a passionate speech at a Democratic event.
Booker gave a brief speech at the Michigan Democratic Women's Caucus on Monday, where he spoke about the "storm" brewing in the nation. His remarks came at a time when the Trump administration and the Republican Party have expressed anxieties about the upcoming November midterm election and whether Republicans will be able to retain some power in Congress.
"What we need is not from on high!" Booker yelled. "What we need is foot soldiers for our democracy, who in times of trial are willing to stand up. Will you stand for our democracy?"
Fans of Trump's MAGA movement melted down on social media.
"The Guilty scream the loudest… and use their violent incitement rhetoric… how many lunatics are going to follow this demon's call for 'foot soldiers,'" Cheryl Riley, a MAGA political candidate in Maryland, posted on X.
"This guy is an absolute disaster. He hates this country as much as he loves himself!!!" Vaughn Allen, a military veteran, posted on X.
"The single biggest danger to this Republic is the democrats!!! They can never get power again, or they will be worse than they were under Biden Autopen/Obama. BTW Biden just admitted that when he wasn't up to being POTUS. Barry would step in and pinch hit for him..." MAGA fan Joanne Daley posted on X.
