Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker said Donald Trump\u2019s policies could \u201cliterally\u201d cause people to die, during the same interview where he called for \u201cradical love\u201d in politics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During an interview<\/a> on \u201cPod Save America,\u201d the New Jersey senator told former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, \u201cI do what I have to do to get shit done,\u201d before flip-flopping on his position<\/a> in favor of the Senate filibuster.<\/p>\n

Booker blamed the budget reconciliation process for eroding the Senate, which requires only a simple majority and was first used during the Obama administration to make changes<\/a> to Obamacare after<\/a> Sen. Ted Kennedy\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

He said reconciliation has allowed the Republican majority to do \u201cawful things,\u201d such as allowing most Americans<\/a> to keep more of their money.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand that the erosion of the Senate, already, has allowed this [Republican] party to do awful things, Trump tax cut, for example,\u201d Booker said. \u201cAnd if I was president I want people to know very tactfully, let\u2019s talk tactics, I will use reconciliation to roll back the Trump tax credits, and do the kind of things that I think to have a tax system that reflects our values, our morals, and frankly what is better for our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
