I don't know what his angle is putting out this statement but he's a slimmy POS and is likely only doing this to try and get some cred back which won't happen based on the whiplashing he is taking for making this claim which he likely has only done because Sessions is 100% against legalization. Americans are seeing right through him on this. Him and his corrupt buddy Bob Menendez are prime examples of sleazy politicians.......

During an interview on NPR’s Morning Edition on Friday, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker announced that he will be pausing fundraising from pharmaceutical companies, a move that comes after months of activist criticism for
his vote against allowing drug reimportation to the United States.
Booker first
faced a backlash on social media, where he repeatedly defended his vote, saying that he supported the issue in concept but had issues with the particular amendment; he also was confronted by Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman days later at an inaugural event where he
continued to defend his vote against the bill.
Sanders also implicitly criticized Booker for his vote. “The Democratic Party has got to make it very clear that they are prepared to stand up to powerful special interests like the pharmaceutical industry and like Wall Street, and they’re not going to win elections and they’re not going to be doing the right thing for the American people unless they have the guts to do
that,” he said. “That 13 Democrats did not is disappointing. I absolutely hope that in the coming weeks and months you’re going to see many of them develop the courage to stand up to Pharma.”
Booker’s latest move is a sign that the pressure from activists is working. Not only did he reverse his position on the issue, but he also has backed off of fundraising from the industry — although it remains to be seen how long this “pause” will last.
