Sen. Cory Booker — one of Hillary Clinton’s top supporters — was unable to articulate how Clinton’s “response to terrorism” will differ from President Obama’s response during a Sunday morning interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“How would Hillary Clinton’s response to terrorism be different from that of President Obama?” guest host Brianna Keilar flatly posed to Booker.
“Well, I think the distinction here is that she isn’t running against President Obama,” he responded. “She’s running against Donald Trump, and we know what Donald Trump has already said he’s going to do.”

Booker added that Trump seeks to undermine NATO and “denigrate relations with Muslim countries.”
“I was in [Turkey] meeting with President Erdogan back in January, and already leaders there are worried about Trump,” he continued. “Donald Trump is dangerous and will make this world a far more dangerous place. In fact he would undermine many of the things that are in place now that make us a much safer country.”
