I told you this at the beginning, I \u2014 I\u2019m embarrassed \u2026 I just look at you, and I start getting full of emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New Jersey Senator went on to tell a story about going for a run, saying that a black woman had approached him \u2014 in part, he believed, because of the role he would have in confirming Judge Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put my music on loud when I\u2019m jogging, trying to block out the noise of the heart attack I\u2019m having,\u201d Booker said, prompting laughs. \u201cAnd this woman comes up on me, practically tackles me, an African American woman. And the look on her eye, she just wanted to touch me, \u2019cause I think \u2014 \u2019cause I\u2019m sitting so close to you \u2014 and tell me what it meant to her to watch you sitting where you\u2019re sitting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Booker then touted Judge Jackson\u2019s hard work and dedication, saying that she hadn\u2019t achieved all she had because of a \u201cLeft-wing agenda\u201d \u2014 and Jackson reached for her tissues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou got here how every black woman in America who\u2019s gotten anywhere has done,\u201d Booker continued, his voice cracking at times. \u201cBy being \u2014 like Ginger Rogers said, \u2018I did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards in heels.\u2019 And so I\u2019m just sitting here saying, \u2018Nobody\u2019s stealing my joy, nobody\u2019s going to make me angry.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Booker then mentioned how he was treated when he arrived at the Capitol, being only the fourth black Senator in Washington. His voice wavered again when he explained the moment in the Oval Office when he tried to explain to President Joe Biden how much it affected him personally to see the first black woman nominated to the nation\u2019s highest court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard for me not to look at you and not see my mom. Not to see my cousins, one of them who had to come here and sit behind you. She had to have your back. I see my ancestors and yours,\u201d Booker said. \u201cBut don\u2019t worry, my sister. Don\u2019t worry. God has got you. And how do I know that? You\u2019re here, and I know what it\u2019s taken for you to sit in that seat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have earned this spot. You are worthy. You are a great American,\u201d he added, in an apparent jab and critics who panned Biden for <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/ben-carson-slams-bidens-race-based-supreme-court-pledge-as-abominable-identity-politics\/\">making Jackson\u2019s race and gender requirements<\/a> for her nomination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis country is getting better and better,\u201d Booker concluded. \u201cWhen that final vote happens and you ascend onto the highest Court in the land, I\u2019m going to rejoice.
