Cory Booker scores Twitter win with ‘Kool-Aid’ burn on Biden
By Mark Moore
August 1, 2019
Sen. Cory Booker’s breakthrough moment at the Democratic presidential debate Wednesday evening came as the Kool-Aid Man.
During a heated discussion with front-runner Joe Biden over criminal justice reform, the former mayor of Newark, New Jersey, turned to the big red guy for his snarky retort.
“Mr. Vice President, there’s a saying in my community, you’re dipping into the Kool-Aid and you don’t even know the flavor,” Booker told Biden. “You need to come to the city of Newark and see the reforms that we put in place.”
Color Kool-Aid happy with the debate-night shout-out.
“#Ahem @SenBooker OH YEAH #WeKnowTheFlavor #DemDebate,” the company’s Twitter account said.
Longtime Bill Cllnton strategist Paul Begala offered a fact check.
“Fact Check: Nothing wrong with dippin’ into Kool-Aid without first knowing the flavor, ‘cause all Kool-Aid flavors are delicious,” he posted.
Kool-Aid Man, the mascot for the fruit mix drink, is known for busting through walls to quench people’s thirst while uttering his catchphrase, “Oh, yeah.”
The Kool-Aid moment satisfied Twitter as well, becoming the most tweeted moment of the Democrats’ second debate on CNN.
