Cory Booker hits Joe Biden 1994 crime bill: ‘Why did it take him so long to apologize?’

The 1994 crime bill continues to be a liability for Joe Biden on the campaign trail, with the latest criticism of his support for the bill coming from presidential primary competitor Cory Booker.

“Why did it take him so long to apologize?” the New Jersey senator said at a Washington Post Live event on Thursday when asked if Biden should be held accountable for the bill’s repercussions. “I’m stunned. Bernie Sanders voted for that bill. Members of the Black Caucus did. They, years ago, came out and said … they regret that vote.”
