McCloskey is famous for suing people, including multiple members of his own family, even his father who he sued while he was in a nursing home.
Corey Booker loves and honors his parents and their history, and definitely didn't sue them into their graves. https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press/in-candid-personal-podcast-booker-reflects-on-black-history-path-forward
So, who honestly would want gun-toting, neighbor threatening, beehive smashing, evicting in pandemic, antigay, family suing trolls as neighbors over the empathetic, family loving, snow shoveling, love is love, runs into the fire neighbor that Booker has shown himself to be?
Just goes to show, racism is a helluva drug.
I apologize for spelling Cory Bookers name wrong through the whole thread. But...to @CoryBooker
