Ding, ding … Capitol Hill school’s in session, and Senator Cory Booker‘s got a front row seat for the TMZ DC gang learning an important lesson … one that totally interrupted our convo with him!
Check it out, our guy Jacob bumped into the senator and things got off to a great start … he yelled out to “Senator Booker,” who quickly corrected Jacob and said, “Cory’s fine.”
CB immediately rolled out the welcome mat, telling us … he looks forward to TMZ DC being in town, because, in his eyes, more accountability in politics is a good thing.
Sweet! What could go wrong??
Well, as Jacob tried to pivot to Booker’s re-election campaign, the wheels fell off this interaction … with a Capitol PD officer shouting to our guy, “Excuse me, sir! You can’t leave your bag!”
At that point, Jacob realized he’d accidentally forgotten his bag down the hallway — a major no-no for security purposes — and he knew he was cooked, saying … “Oh gosh, Cory. I’ve ruined it.”
You gotta see how the senator reacted as we got a proper scolding. Unfortunately, he had places to be, soooo …. to be continued, Cory!
