Booker said 'anybody who knows our painful history' knows that African-Americans 'have had to turn to the federal government to intervene because there were states that were violating those rights.'
Washington New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker took issue with Joe Biden's answer during Thursday night's Democratic presidential debate when the former vice president defended his decades-old position against busing to desegregate schools during his tenure as a first-term US senator.
"That struck me. I literally leaned back in my couch and couldn't believe that one moment to me, and again not understanding the history of the need for the federal government," Booker, who watched fellow Democratic presidential contenders duke it out from his Washington, DC, home, told CNN's John Berman on"New Day" Friday morning.
