NEW YORK (AP) — Sen. Cory Booker has expanded upon his historic Senate floor speech from last month into an upcoming book.

“Stand” will be published Nov. 11, St. Martin’s Press announced Wednesday. In April, the New Jersey Democrat made headlines by delivering the country’s longest continuous Senate floor speech — just over 25 hours. The 56-year-old Booker spoke in opposition to numerous Trump administration policies, whether the desire to make Canada part of the United States or cuts to Social Security offices.

“This book is about the virtues vital to our success as a nation and lessons we can draw from generations of Americans who fought for them,” Booker said in a statement."


Historic?
Jon Fitch has a better highlight reel than this speech

Spartacus doing what dems does best, profiting from the grift!

There's so many trash Senators out there who like to do it for the cameras and put on a show. A "strongman" who in reality is a sniveling weasel.

Booker is one of those types at the top of the list.
 
ZOMG a famous person is coming out with a book to make money! I won't be buying it, but is this really news?
 
25 hours?

He should be prosecuted. Used up government resource, time, and money to cry on the senate floor for 25 hours. With no real purpose, as it lead to absolutely nothing meaningful, other than creating a few headlines. Only to come out with a book shortly after about it.

Seems like defrauding the tax payers for personal gain.

Do you feel the same about everyone that has ever filibustered?

What is his crime?
 
A book about a speech...that happened a month or so ago.

I wonder what retarded, overly emotional demographic they're shooting for to buy this book....

You know they think you're stupid and easy marks, right Liberals? You can put it right next to your Jake Tapper book, about the "bombshell" revelations of Biden's health.

Using public office, official floor time, and resources for personal benefit

He only did this stunt to come out with this book. I know politicians grandstand on congress all the time, not for 25 hours tho, they generally don’t write a book about immediately after.

Doesn’t seem like proper use of government time to try and profit a month later after eating over a day of official staff, security, etc

An employee may not use the official time of another employee for anything other than official business. The use of any government property, including computers and the Internet, for any partisan political activities is always prohibited.
