For a guy who’s so in love with the sound of his own voice, Cory Booker sure does have a strange habit of clamming up when confronted about inconvenient truths. Here’s how he’s evidently dealing with questions about the recent allegations against Joe Biden:

.@SenBooker responding to the Biden allegations this morning after we chased him down a hallway: "So first of all, let me just say one thing real quick: it is good to see you today and I look forward to talking soon!" And then he ran into a stairwell to escape us. — Mariam Khan (@MKhan47) April 2, 2019

Huh.

Weird. He had a lot to say about Brett Kavanaugh's accusations — Patrick_Squarepants (@PatrickSquarep6) April 2, 2019

Yeah, but that was different. Brett Kavanaugh is conservative, after all.

Cory Booker’s so busy and important … he probably just had somewhere to be.

This is so on brand for him — Andrea Somerville (@asomer) April 2, 2019

Spartacus taking a break? — Dabs (@MemeRespecter) April 2, 2019

Guess he wasn't feeling like Spartacus today. — Not Justin (@laundryroom0125) April 2, 2019

Hey, even Spartacus is entitled to an off day, right?

He didn’t throw something at the ground that created a giant cloud of smoke? — Brian Bunton (@brianbunton) April 2, 2019

He’s probably kicking himself for not thinking of that. Maybe next time!

Very Presidential! — nomo momo (@realtruthkings) April 2, 2019

He’s mastered the art of the presidential dodge for sure.
