When New Jersey Senator Cory Booker lit into Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen over President Trump’s alleged “sh*thole” comments during a Tuesday Senate hearing, he raised more than a few eyebrows.

The problem for Booker was, a good portion of the eyebrows were being raised at him – starting with former Milwaukee County Sheriff and current Twitter mastermind David Clarke, who expertly used his 240 characters or less to rip right through Booker’s feigned outrage-filled rant.

After today's embarrassing display on the Hill by Sen Booker in dressing down a female Cabinet member, it is apparent to me that Booker lacks the temperament to be a future candidate for President of the United States. If he dressed down a staffer that way, He'd be in trouble. pic.twitter.com/oIPxzGocqR — David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) January 16, 2018

“After today’s embarrassing display on the Hill by Sen Booker in dressing down a female Cabinet member, it is apparent to me that Booker lacks the temperament to be a future candidate for President of the United States. If he dressed down a staffer that way, He’d be in trouble,” Clarke tweeted, referring to this Oscar-winning performance by the New Jersey senator:

“I hurt. When Dick Durbin called me, I had tears of rage when I heard about his experience in that meeting,” said Booker. “And for you not to feel that hurt, and that pain, and to dismiss the questions of some of my colleagues, saying I’ve already answered that line of questions, when tens of millions of Americans are hurting right now because of what they’re worried about what happened in the White House. That’s unacceptable to me.”

Nah, that’s just collateral damage to libs like Booker.

“Temperament” indeed…

Clarke got plenty of support via Twitter:

Sheriff Clarke actually makes a good point here – could you imagine if a Republican man talked to a woman the way Cory Booker talked to Kirstjen Nielsen today. They would be publicly shamed for being "sexist". But SJW's are labeling Booker a hero for his actions. Such hypocrisy! https://t.co/L3BZLY6wWM — Josh Hall (@realJoshuaHall) January 16, 2018

Booker pitched a temper tantrum just like a 5 year old because the DHS secretary didn't say what he wanted to hear. #boohoobooker https://t.co/XEpCWBgoPS — ❌Deplorable Thassy❌ (@thassy2) January 16, 2018

The histrionics and feigned outrage by @SenBooker are a sad excuse for any elected office. Dims have nothing of value to add to the national conversation. https://t.co/lZGOdEMASw — Trumpman (@TrumpmanTX) January 17, 2018
