Cory Booker continued his quest to run screaming away from the apparently too candid comments he made on Meet the Press on Sunday<\/a>. Despite attempts earlier today to #FreeCoryBooker<\/a> from those trying to force him to apologize, Booker went on the Rachel Maddow show to do everything he could to walk back what he said. Cue the mockery.<\/p>\n\n\n

Boy, Cory Booker is really trying to worm his way out of his faux pas yesterday. #rachelmaddow<\/a><\/p>\n

Excuse me Mr. Booker – how were you "taken out of context?" They took your quote word for word from MTP. No manipulation necessary.<\/p>\n

Sorry, but this is awfully slippery. Booker specifically stood up for Bain yesterday, by name.<\/p>\n

I know this is difficult, but Mayor Booker, you need to take the focus off yourself. You are sounding self-centered. #Maddow<\/a><\/p>\n

Some serious Cory Booker hate on the airwaves tonight. I thought it was taboo to attack a nationally prominent black man in public office?<\/p>\n

This basically sums up Cory Booker's message on Maddow tonight: http:\/\/t.co\/BmWfLPLd<\/a><\/p>\n
