Senator DN.J. praised the democratic mashup of the recently criticized identical social media posts, and declined Tesla CEO Elon Musk's luxury offer to the heart behind “Cringe Video.”
At least 22 Democrats joined a social media campaign saying “S — is not true.” Before President Donald Trump's speech to a joint Congressional session, he posted the same video on social media in a mashup to the president.
Musk teased a synced mashup on social media, offering it to buy CyberTruck for those who “can provide evidence of the person who wrote this particular propaganda” in X's post. Booker ultimately trusted it.
When asked if he wanted the Cybertock Musk offers at Capitol Hill, Booker chuckles and says, “No, I don't.”

The video begins with a Trump clip swearing to “down the price from day one.” After that, Senate Democrats' cuts have been saying this all at once.

“Prices have risen since the first day of Donald Trump's presidency. Inflation is getting worse. Prices for groceries, gas, housing, rent, eggs – they're all expensive. Donald Trump did nothing at a low cost for you.”

Booker said the video was made with the intention of contacting more people online.
“We're trying to do more as a breakthrough caucus. Obviously, this has been a very successful one,” the senator said.
The video elicited criticism from Republicans on social media, including Rep. Virginia Fox, who called it “strange” in an X post.

“In this world where people are getting attention, especially as people on the right continue to elevate our content, it has attracted attention and has gained even more opinions,” Booker said.
