Donna Jackson might be Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s biggest threat to being elected a U.S. Senator.
Councilwoman Mildred Crump and Teachers Union President Joe Del Grasso, the other stars of the above video from our friends at BookerFail, could be said to have their own political axes to grind with Booker. But the Mayor himself told the Star Ledger in 2010 that Jackson does not have a political agenda, she just cares about Newark.
Jackson’s entire remarks excerpted in the video above are devastating. View them here. (h/t Matt Rooney at SaveJersey).
She says the media and Newark’s government are hiding the city’s problems to give Booker political cover. She says Newark is worse sinse Booker became mayor. “Booker’s national profile is killing us,” Jackson said.
