Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) is a man torn between darkness and light. The dichotomy is jarring.

Thanks to The Washington Free Beacon for the super cut:

> On one hand, he speaks eloquently about loving his fellow America, putting aside partisanship and embracing our differences as strengths.

> On the other, he speaks darkly about the "evil" of things like supporting conservative Supreme Court justice nominees and opposing Obamacare.

> Booker goes from telling Jimmy Kimmel he seeks to "generate more love" to combat hate to saying those in support of Brett Kavanaugh are "complicit in the evil."

> He goes from telling CNN he loves Donald Trump to berating Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen about his "tears of rage" over Trump's remarks about African countries.

> He goes from telling the Democratic National Convention that "we are a nation of love" to saying letting Obamacare fail is "sinister" and "evil."

> He goes from saying we need to stop the "bulls—t partisanship" in America to comparing Nielsen to Nazi enablers in Europe.

> Sometimes, he splits the difference, saying he supports the idea of publicly confronting Trump administration officials, but doing it with "love."
