The Democratic debate got heated tonight when Cory Booker referred to “my community” during a back and forth about Joe Biden’s record on criminal justice reform:

“There’s a saying in my community. You’re dipping into the Kool-aid, and you don’t even know the flavor.”

The two Democrats debated the criminal justice reform by Biden in the 1990s that increased penalties for crimes committed and therefore increased the federal prison population:

“There are people in prison right now for drug offenses because you stood up and used that tough on crime rhetoric that got a lot of people elected but destroyed lives in communities like mine.” – Senator Cory Booker

Joe Biden is in some hot water with the left for his greeting to Kamala Harris at the beginning of the debate:

“Go easy on me, kid.” – Joe Biden

CNN is claiming calling Harris “kid” was inappropriate:

Harris’ campaign responded to the ginned-up controversy with one word, “Kid?”
