WASHINGTON: Democratic US Senator Corey Bakr accused President Donald Trump of “recklessly” in a marathon speech challenging the nation’s democratic institutions, which broke the record of nearly seven decades for length on Tuesday.

The 55 -year -old lawmaker from New Jersey launched a speech on Monday evening and for 25 hours and five minutes, criticizing the Crusader War by Republican President and his billionaire top adviser Elon Musk to reduce the large number of federal government.

“Our institutions are being attacked carelessly and unconstitutional and even scattered,” said Booker.

Booker, who is a black, broke the record of the longest continuous speech organized by South Carolina’s separatist Senator Strum Thermond.

In the summer of 1957, Thermond launched a full buster against civil rights legislation, which lasted for 24 hours and 18 minutes. Finally, thermond failed in his mission to stop the bill, which increased the rights of black people’s rights.

Booker, whose speech was not a full buster – which is a tactic to delay or kill specific legislation – the record of Thormond passed and continued.

He repeatedly speaking against Trump’s actions, referring to workers in a “good problem”, using a term, saying that the late civil rights leader’s representative John Lewis had often worked.

Trump, in his first weeks, has shifted to the shutter government in his first weeks, including the Department of Education, and prevents the Congress -approved expenditures. His administration has also questioned the authority of the federal courts to limit its policies.

Democratic voters have been strengthened in recent weeks because Trump, who supports the Republican -controlled Congress, has shaken the long -standing US alliance and cut off more than 100,000 federal workers.

Their anger is aimed at not enough aggressive to challenge Trump, including Republican legislators and party leaders, including Senate top Democrats Chuck Shammer and the House of Representatives Democrat Hakim Jeffrez.

Shamar stopped in his speech to ask Booker late to ask, “Do you know that you have broken the record?”

“I know now,” Booker replied, with tissue blindfolded before continuing.

Booker, in his speech, acknowledged the Democratic voter’s anger for about 24 hours, saying, “I was challenged by my own circles to do something different, which was challenged by my own circles to do something, which my own constituencies challenged to take risk.”

A White House spokesman dismisses Booker’s criticism.

“Corey Bakker is looking for a moment,” said Deputy White House press secretary Harrison Fields, but she did not work for her failed presidential campaign, and she did not work to stop President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kanov.

Former New Jersey Mayor Bakr scored a run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, which year, Trump, who was eventually lost to Biden’s re -election.

The Booker only interrupted when a series of fellow Democrats, one -sided, came to the floor to ask a question, which could allow him to overcome his time of speech.

Booker was encouraged, but some signs of tension were shown by Tuesday afternoon. When he dropped a piece of paper from his desk, he looked down, very slowly and began to bend to pick it up, only Colorado’s fellow Democratic Senator Michael Bennett was saved.

The solid subject of the booker’s anger was a campaign to reduce the size and scope of the US government.

“The Trump Vince administration keeps us in chaos,” said Booker. “Trump’s trade war against our allies will only increase the costs and fears of American families.”

When Booker entered the last hour of his speech, most of his colleagues used to take seats in the Democrats Chamber, while Republican seats were vacant in the opposite side of the chamber.

Bakr used the Congress at the time to examine the president in the US Constitution to check and to focus on “the voices of our constituencies”.

“For all Americans, this is a moral moment. It’s not left or right. It’s right or wrong,” Booker said as he broke his voice. Then, finally, he took his time.
