Authorities arrested the staffer, named by Capitol Police as Kevin Batts, Monday evening after Batts told officers outside the Senate galleries he was armed, the department said. Batts had been led by Booker around security screening at a Senate office building earlier in the day, according to the department.

Booker is such a hypocrite. He had to have known that his guy had a gun, why would else would he bypass security?

    He should be investigated to see if he knew then.

    Fucking sucks and I was literally just defending him 24 hrs ago.

    But Dem voters have high standards, and defending shit like this depresses Dem turnout. This is bigger than any single person.

        What?

        Is that supposed to be a joke or something? It’s a bad look for mods to be making “jokes” like that.

          Considering how you chose to moderate, you really should be talking.
