Summary
Senator Cory Booker’s speech on TikTok live surpassed 350 million likes as he stood for over 25 hours speaking in the Senate chamber.
Booker broke Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest Senate speech, which lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957 to block civil rights legislation.
Storm Thurman? Zero likes on his TikTok. That’s the real stat.
Strom got ratioed
I mean… even 1 like would be the same ratio.
Excuse me, I want 10 digit precision on this measurement
Strom Thurmond has been infinitely ratioed by a black man
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.
Southern Trope Racist Old Man
To be fair, Storm wasn’t a real person.
