Sen. Cory Booker says DHS Secretary Nielsen 'lied under oath' at Senate hearing

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, who serves on the Senate Judiciary and Foreign Relations Committees, joins "CBS This Morning" from Washington to discuss the heated questioning of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Tuesday where she denied hearing President Trump allegedly using a vulgarity to describe immigrants from some countries. Booker talks about why it's not about the profanity the president reportedly used but the damage done when people stand by and say nothing.

Booker is a Bully . We the country don"t care for men who can not contain anger in a congress. It has been proven that he did not say it. So wrong of you too badger her .

[jopenny]

If it was me he was screaming at, I'd have thrown my glass of water at him.
To publicly and officially infer that a cabinet member is a liar just because
she won't confirm what you media dupes want so much to hear is low class.

I watched that episode, and you should also and look at him totally out of control.  His performance was not civil. He should not be in public office, and he is very racist.

Crying Cory has no tears for the poor of this country who are being kept poor by letting in thousands from third world countries.

Thank you for speaking up Senator. I am a South African Registered Nurse, who was recruited from my motherland by this country 25 years ago. I have been proud to serve Americans, but, at present am embarrased at the blatant racialist and ignorant comments made by certain politicians recently.

[Jestermon]

The guy wasn't in the meeting but knows exactly what was said in it that's hard evidence if I've ever heard it.

Newark. Booker's shining example!!

[konquer]

One thing I realized about her name: she spells it Kirstjen, the same way as it is spelled in Scandinavian languages.
Could it be that she has Norwegian ancestry? hmmm

[chilib]

Cory is just practicing his acting to be ready for 2020 presidential run.

[tacjam]

The way Booker talked down to her because she’s a female in high Office is more of a concern than anything! He would’ve never talked to a man like this! Yelling and screaming out of control!

[carolr.]

Booker has no temperament to be commander and chief! he is a HOT HEAD!!

[glennjoyce]

Booker is going to be more and more in the public and will probably be running in 2020

[esoteric]

Dang booker. I like how you decide to become this passionate on your election year.. You could have done that when Bernie proposed to lower drug prices... But okay...

[kjteach]

Thank you for speaking up for all of us!!!!, May God continue to protect you!!!!

[nancyfontenot]

Is Nielson being charged for perjury for this terrible offense? Why are you constantly stimulating racism? Aren't you a political figure?

[texastank]

Someone tell Peele that Key is posing as a doorknob. Pathetic.

[patcalnan]

He represents the worst this Country has to offer. Self serving drama queen.

[GiovannaHI]

What makes me angry about her lying under oath is the fact that Princess won’t suffer any consequences.

[madarab]

If Corey Booker says you're lying, does that mean you go to jail? If he has that power I want to see him questioning Trump.

If this guy dies or go missing it was the gov
