Pro- “Palestinian” group disputes Booker’s claim that he didn’t know sign he was holding was anti-Israel

Aug 9, 2018 1:29 pm By Robert Spencer

Of course he knew what the sign said. It’s eleven words long. If he didn’t know what it said, he is functionally illiterate and should not be a United States Senator, much less a possible Presidential candidate.

“Pro-Palestinian Group Disputes Booker’s Claim He Didn’t Know About Anti-Israel Sign,” by Aaron Bandler, Jewish Journal, August 8, 2018 (thanks to David):

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) has faced some heat for posing with a sign that read “From Palestine to Mexico, All the Walls Have Got to Go.” Booker’s spokesperson has said that Booker didn’t read the sign; now the pro-Palestinian group associated with the sign is disputing that claim….

Booker’s spokesperson, Jeff Giertz, told Jewish Telegraphic Agency that Booker “didn’t have time to read the sign.”

“From his cursory glance he thought it was talking about Mexico and didn’t realize it had anything to do with Israel,” Giertz said.

However, the USCPR told The Intercept that Booker had to have known what the sign said because they spoke to him prior to taking the photo.

“It was in this overwhelmingly supportive environment at Netroots Nation that our contingent had the opportunity to meet Sen. Cory Booker briefly and discuss our work for freedom, justice, and equality for the Palestinian people before posing for a photo with him,” a representative for the pro-Palestinian group said.

The Intercept’s Zaid Jilani also pointed out that one of the USCPR members was wearing a shirt emblazoned with the line, “Palestine is a queer, feminist, refugee, racial justice issue.”…

    With Anarchists such as Booker trying to set (or destroy) U.S. law and policy, no wonder trying to lead this country is difficult.

      Who, IN HIS RIGHT MIND, would hold a sign in front of himself, being videoed, without knowing what it read……to do so would lead most people to think the worst if a person who would do such a thing without knowing what the sign said. Th I s guy needs to be replaced..problem is….he won’t!

        That’s right! Even vote-whores are responsible for whatever they say or do. What kind of genius doesn’t even glance at the sign shoved into his hands? Anything could be written on it: I am a vote-whore. My brain is smaller than my … . I am just a Party puppet; not even a AI inside my head.

        Actually, this could make for some interesting and funny Internet memes for those who know how to PhotoShop.

        So true, J D S. I would never do that, and I’m not a public figure.

    Sure he knew. Just doesn’t want to suffer the heat of a bad decision.

      It appears that our political class has learned the trick of taqiyya from some “Palestinians”. What new trick is next?

    Corey Booker lies –
    “#ad#Price considers himself a mentor and friend to Booker and says Booker conceded to him in 2008 that T-Bone was a “composite” of several people he’d met while living in Newark. The professor describes a “tough conversation” in which he told Booker “that I disapproved of his inventing such a person.” “If you’re going to create a composite of a man along High Street,” he says he asked Booker, “why don’t you make it W. E. B. DuBois?” From Booker, he says, “There was no pushback. He agreed that was a mistake.” Since then, references to T-Bone have been conspicuously absent from Booker’s speeches. ” https://www.nationalreview.com/2013/08/cory-bookers-imaginary-friend-eliana-johnson/

    They’d love him in Palestine. He could open up a wedding cake store on the Gaza Strip or Raqqa, even.

    Who knew that GAYS, LESBIANS, and JEWS were all treated EQUALLY by the egalitarian Arab PALESTINIANS who CHERISH and ENFORCE SHARIA LAW ??? …. (…scratching sound !!!)

    Oh no … ah … hold on … that’s the ISRALIS who treat GAYS, LESBIANS, and ARABS equally in Israel… that’s why GAYS, LESBIANS from ARAB COUNTRIES flock to Israel to be treated AS EQUALS without discrimination.

    “Palestine is a queer, feminist, refugee, racial justice issue.”…It totally is! Gays are killed, women beaten and subjugated, real refugees around the world diluted with their phony claim to that status, and the racism towards non arabs and sunnis rampant in gaza and the west bank.

    It is no wonder that regressives love this cause and these people so much.

      Another Democrat calling for no borders. They walk around in t shirts saying “no borders”, & hold up signs, but if you directly ask them they go quiet.

        Yes–even if he were telling the truth–which he obviously is not–he is admitting he is fine with any sort of criminals flooding unchecked into the US.

    The failed former mayor of Newark that shining light in New Jersey that has elected a black democratic mayors for the last 42 years of “progress’ .Now he wants to run as congressman and says he cannot be Bothered read a one sentence sign that panders to terrorist. If he is elected to congress will he be bothered reading the many pages of bills he has to sign or reject or will he just go on pandering to” P.C group think” .
