The media really wants you to think that Cory Booker, not Marianne Williamson , was the candidate of love and unity all along.

After Booker dropped out of the 2020 presidential race on Monday, CNN’s Chris Cillizza tweeted , “Cory Booker ran a campaign based on the need for positivity, love and unity. It didn't ever take off. Which says something about the times we live in.”

The Associated Press, a supposedly unbiased deliverer of truth, echoed Cillizza’s love for the candidate. The first sentence of its story on Booker dropping out reads, “Democrat Cory Booker dropped out of the presidential race Monday, ending a campaign whose message of unity and love failed to resonate in a political era marked by chaos and anxiety.”

This is an AP report, not a Booker press release.

“Unity” and “love” are likely not the first two words that come to mind for most of those who have followed Spartacus’s campaign — that is, unless they’ve been replaced by empty pandering.

Booker is the candidate who said his “testosterone sometimes makes me want to feel like punching" President Trump. But, of course, he would refrain because that would be a Trump tactic.

What a powerful expression of love and unity.
