WATCH: Booker Shocks By Saying “S—hole” During the Live Debate

Moments ago, while attacking Biden’s deportation record, Cory Booker shocked social media by saying the word “s–thole” during the live debate.

Since the debate is hosted on cable news CNN, not network TV, it was not technically a violation to curse, however some pointed out children may be watching the debate and extremely unorthodox.
