Cory Booker saving that John Lewis story for his record-breaking moment
As a speechwriter, serious props...
Chuck Schumer interrupts:
"Will the gentleman yield for a question?"
Cory Booker, smiling:
"Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you 'no.'"
Schumer interrupts anyway, asking Booker if he realizes that he has just broken Strom Thurmond's record and letting him know the country is proud of him
And the gallery goes wild...

@kims same here. I rolled my eyes, and I was dead wrong. #CoryBooker was awesome.
Yeah a lot of reactions need training again, and its one of the things Cory accomplished. So glad it was so widely watched. We need people to be inspired.
Thank you Senator Booker.
Hat off.
