As we told you previously, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker has announced that he’ll seek the Democrat nomination for president. Appearing on “The View” today, Booker was asked about his often mocked faux-defiant “Spartacus moment” at the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, and here’s what he said:

"My work speaks for me," Booker says with regard to authenticity. McCain follows up by referencing "Spartacus." "It's a tear-down culture," Booker laments. — James Oliphant (@jamesoliphant) February 1, 2019

.@MeghanMcCain to @CoryBooker: "When I think of you now, I think of 'I am Spartacus." Booker says the moment was "twisted" and part of a "tear-down culture" he rejects. pic.twitter.com/PhpU0qPmbX — Evan McMurry (@evanmcmurry) February 1, 2019

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NY) says his embarrassing "I am Spartacus" stunt during the Kavanaugh hearings was one of his "prouder moments" pic.twitter.com/5cBD5qb4Uw — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) February 1, 2019

Considering what Dems were trying to do to Kavanaugh, Booker saying his “I am Spartacus” was a blow to the “tear down culture” is rich indeed.

Cory supported outright lies at Kavanaugh hearings. Still does. — Ballard (@JBW227) February 1, 2019

He tried to destroy another mans life with false accusations. Ya, a real proud moment. https://t.co/1DCEGZOMDA — Lilly Belle (@KeepINitReal604) February 1, 2019

Listening to him decry a "tear down culture" while standing knee deep in the middle of that culture is just too rich. It's like politicians are living in a completely different world where they believe people have no memories. — Doug Oviatt (@OviattDoug) February 1, 2019

“ it’s a teardown culture, the truth doesn’t even matter “ The exact same thing he did the Kavanaugh ? — Chris (@RealTime82) February 1, 2019

“a tear down culture”??? Talk about projecting! — Kevin McCarthy (@6mccarth) February 1, 2019

Projection is a real thing!
