Newark Mayor Cory Booker hit back on Monday night after the GOP pounced on his comments that the negative advertising by both campaigns is “nauseating†and that he is “uncomfortable†with the Obama campaign’s attacks on presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s time at the private equity firm Bain Capital. Â
The rising Democratic star said on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show that the GOP crossed a line on Monday with press releases, sound bites, and even a petition on the GOP website urging voters to “Stand with Cory.â€
Booker stressed that he has been an Obama supporter for his entire political career, and is “upset†with how the GOP has twisted his words. He posed a challenge to the GOP, invoking the Obama campaign’s new rallying cry. Â
