U.S. Senator Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat who wants to run for president, channeled Seinfeld‘s George Constanza with his embarrassing and desperate showboating at the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, as these mashups from the Washington Free Beacon suggest.
As Costanza famously once said, “it’s not a lie if you believe it.”
From the New York Post in detailing Booker’s history of making stuff up:
“Those who have followed Booker’s political career have long claimed that it is merely a long string of theatrics, fables and malleable positions. As an optics-obsessed lightweight mayor of Newark, they contend, he spent large swaths of his time collecting lucrative speaking fees to lecture others about his imaginary accomplishments in his corruption-riddled city. ‘The only way you can see the mayor,’ explained one Newark councilman, ‘is if you turn on Meet the Press.”
