Booker makes his move, 480 BC (colorized) |
Senator Corey Booker was up front at the recent Senate hearings on newly appointed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, insisting that we should all believe Christine Blasey Ford's version of events because she was a "survivor of sexual assault." LOL.
But now the Democrat Senator from New Jersey, who is widely rumored to be gay, is facing his own accusations of sexual assault, after a gay man came forward and claimed that Booker assaulted him in a public restroom in 2014 when Booker was 45 and his alleged victim was 18.
The as-yet anonymous victim published the allegations in an online essay. The key passage is this one, where he describes Booker's sexual assault or, if you prefer to be more generous, his awkward pass:
"I stopped to use one of the building’s single-occupancy restrooms. Upon washing my hands prior to leaving, I heard knocking on the door. When I opened the door, Mr. Booker was there. He smiled and very gregariously said ‘Hey!’ We engaged in some brief idle chitchat in the entryway and then he asked me to speak in private. What happened next, happened so fast that it was hard for me to comprehend what was going on … He pulled me into the restroom, albeit not too forcefully and slowly pushed me against the restroom wall. He said that ‘Being a hero was a serious turn-on.’ He continued, ‘The Senate appreciates fine citizens like you. Especially this Senator.’ He then put his left hand on my groin, over my jeans and began to rub. I seem to remember saying something like ‘What is happening?’ It was a bit like having vertigo. He then used his other hand to grab my left hand with his right and pulled it over to touch him. At the same time, he disengaged from rubbing me and used his left hand to push me to my knees from my shoulder for what was clearly a move to have me perform oral sex on him. At that point, I pulled away quite violently and told him I had to go. I did not see him again before he left."
If Booker is indeed gay, as these allegations imply, then it is no surprise that he wishes to keep it secret, as many voters still feel "uncomfortable" voting for a gay or LGBT Senator.
In fact, there is only one openly gay Senator -- Tammy Baldwin, the Democrat Senator from Wisconsin, who is a lesbian.
It stands to reason that several other Senators must have been gay over the years, but successfully hid it. In 2016, Harris Wofford, the former Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, finally admitted he was gay over 20 years after he left the Senate, when he "married" a boyfriend.
In the case of Booker, however, it looks like his gayness -- if he is indeed gay -- could be revealed much earlier in his career.
