Booker freestyles during MSNBC interview

Presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) showed off his freestyle skills during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber” on Thursday. 

“We could try to freestyle right now,” Booker suggested to host Ari Melber.

{mosads}“It’s no feat to be on ‘The Beat’ so far away from the actual street,” Booker began. “If you want to be understood, you got to come to my hood,” he continued.

Booker joked that he would not freestyle in the Democratic presidential debates after Melber asked him whether he would.

“I bet you could out freestyle Bernie,” Melber quipped about Booker’s fellow candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Booker declined to comment on the suggestion.
