Booker, who has served as a US Senator in the Garden State since 2013, was\u00a0mocked last month\u00a0<\/a>after accusing fellow Democrats of \u201ccomplicity\u201d with the Trump administration after they supported a package of bills aimed at boosting resources for police.<\/p>\n Senator Booker previously dated actress Rosario Dawson. UPI<\/p>\n \u201cThat is complicity with an authoritarian leader who is trashing our country,\u201d Booker said. \u201cIt is time for Democrats to have a backbone. It\u2019s time for us to fight. It\u2019s time for us to draw a line, and when it comes to the safety of my state being denied these grants, that\u2019s why I\u2019m standing here,\u201d he said from the Senate floor.<\/p>\n In April, Booker set a record for the longest speech ever given from the floor of the upper chamber, claiming to have abstained from food and water before delivering a rambling 25-hour oratory.<\/p>\n Less than two months later, St. Martin\u2019s Press announced it will publish the book \u201cStand,\u201d intended as a companion piece to the record-breaking\u00a0Senate floor bloviation<\/a>, prompting some critics to accuse Booker of\u00a0attempting to profit off the marathon speech<\/a>.<\/p>\n
