'This is a referendum on the heart and soul of our country,' said the senator and presidential candidate.
The senator also likened the current administration to two other infamous and insular movements in American history. First, he mentioned the Know Nothing Party of the mid-19th century, which openly opposed immigration — primarily from Germans and Irish migrants — to the relatively new nation.
"We have a demagogue, fear-mongering person who is using race to divide," said Booker."This is a referendum — not on [Trump] — this is a referendum on the heart and soul of our country. Who are we going to be and who are we going to be to each other?" Bash quoted Booker as having recently stated,"I don't feel like I need to do that [meet Farrakhan], but I'm not one of those people who says that I wouldn't sit down with anybody to hear what they have to say."
