U.S. Sen. Cory Booker broke the record for longest floor speech in the history of the Senate on Tuesday, surpassing the 24-hour and 18-minute record set in 1957 when South Carolina’s Strom Thurmond attempted to prevent passage of the Civil Rights Act.
I’m pretty sure Booker said a lot more than that in 25+ hours of talking….
Would have been a long headline to include everything he said.
Would have been a lot more memorable if he just repeated “these are not normal times” for 25 hours straight. 😂
