Reflecting on President Donald Trump’s travel ban on predominantly Muslim countries, Booker said: “I remember running out to the airport, where I saw the whole concourse full of Americans yelling and chanting and singing patriotic slogans as people came into this country, like Abraham welcoming strangers in the desert.”
That process, he said, begins with reversing Trump’s decision to ban “transgender patriots” from serving in the military. Booker also touted his co-sponsorship of the Equality Act, which would ban discrimination against LGBTQ Americans, who -- as he said on Wednesday-- “can post on about their gay marriage on their website, the next day when they go to work, they can be fired just because they’re gay, with no legal recourse whatsoever.”
“To cut funding to investigate these domestic terrorist groups, these white supremacist groups, is making us less safe,” Booker added.
