Cory Booker says this Warren proposal sounds like 'a Donald Trump thing to say'
Presidential candidate Cory Booker characterized his colleague and 2020 opponent Elizabeth Warren’s proposals to break up tech giants as “a Donald Trump thing to say" and called for a “president that's going to enforce antitrust laws.”
"It's about making sure that we have a system that works,” said Booker. “It’s not me and my own personal opinion about going after folks. That sounds more like a Donald Trump thing to say, like, 'I'm going to break up you guys, I’m gonna break' — no." Last week, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes’s New York Times op-ed also argued in favor of dismantling the social media giant, which he called “a powerful monopoly, eclipsing all of its rivals and erasing competition from the social networking category.”
Last year Trump accused Google search results of being “rigged” against him and conservative news outlets. He also told reporters in an Oval Office press meeting that Google, Facebook and Twitter were “treading on very, very troubled territory” and advised that they “better be careful.”
