Story highlights Donald Trump tweeted about Cory Booker's speech to the Democratic convention Monday night

"Bring it on Donald. Show your truth. I'm gonna show mine," he said

(CNN) Cory Booker said Tuesday he is going to love and pray for Donald Trump after the Republican nominee attacked him on Twitter following the New Jersey senator's speech to the Democratic National Convention.

"I love Donald Trump," Booker said Tuesday on CNN's "New Day." "I don't want to answer his hate with hate. I'm going to answer it with love. I'm not going to answer his darkness with darkness."

Booker called Trump out in his speech attacking him for his words about immigrants, women and people with disability.

Trump responded saying he knows "more about Cory" than the senator himself.

"If Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have no future! I know more about Cory than he knows about himself," he tweeted Monday.
