Cory Booker’s 1984 Account of His Sexual Assault is a Lie

NEWARK, NJ-In the 1992 edition of the Stanford Daily Newspaper, a young Cory Booker, detailed a forced sexual encounter with a young high school girl at a 1984 New Year’s Eve party.

Booker noted intricate details of this encounter.

“New Year’s Eve 1984 I will never forget,” he wrote. “I was 15.  As the ball dropped, I leaned over to hug a friend and she met me instead with an overwhelming kiss.”

“As we fumbled upon the bed, I remember debating my next move as if it were a chess game. With the Top Gun slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast. After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my mark,” Booker admits aggressively forcing his hand upon the child’s breasts.

“I’ve got to find a way to snatch that snatch,” Booker wrote in his admission.

Then it ended. They parted ways, but he knows she wanted him.

Like a dude, Booker continued, “While she liked me a lot, she said she just wanted to be friends.”

There’s just one problem with Booker’s 1992 story.  This is where we go all Marissa Tomei in “My Cousin Vinnie” on the story.

Top Gun, the movie was released in theaters on May 16, 1986.  That would mean his encounter if he was singing the Top Gun theme song, “Danger Zone” could not have happened until the 1987 New Year’s Eve party.

Like most of what comes out of Senator Booker’s mouth, the facts don’t just add up here either.
