“Kill that strain of the Republican Party” should not have been said.
LOGAN TWP – Referring to words chosen by US Senator Cory Booker on CNN’s State of the Union former state Senator and gubernatorial candidate Ed “The Trucker” Durr took to social media to call on Booker’s words to be condemned by all.
At issue was Booker’s choice of the words, “And what I know this election can do is finally kill that strain of the Republican Party…”
“At a time when there has been an assassination attempt on the former President and the arrest of a man in Arizona for alleged death threats against former President Trump the last thing any responsible person should be saying is to ‘kill that strain of the Republican Party,’” Ed “The Trucker” Durr said. “While I don’t believe Senator Booker wants Americans killed, I do know he knows better. His words should never have been spoken.”
“I recall a time when New Jersey Democrats, led by Phil Murphy, referred to me as ‘dangerous’ for my choice of words.” Durr continued. “It’s time for Governor Murphy to condemn Booker’s dangerous words.”
“I think those who want to be governor should all condemn Booker for his choice of words,” Durr said. “Unless of course, they are not from, or are hiding from that strain of the Republican Party.”
