Very calm demeanor.
Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) warned his colleagues that a vote for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is, unequivocally, a vote for "evil." He was not being facetious. He even quoted Scripture.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), trying his best not to laugh, asked his Democratic colleague to come back to reality during a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday.
"It's hard to take statements like that seriously," Cornyn said of Booker's fire and brimstone rhetoric. "To me that's completely unhinged and detached from any reality."

Cornyn is playing fast and loose with the facts when he says Kavanaugh was previously confirmed by a "substantial bipartisan vote," - four (out of 44) Democrats voting with the Republicans is bipartisan, but it isn't substantially bipartisan.
If you're calling your political opponents evil because of policy positions, you're either virtue signaling to your base (like Booker is, so that he can potentially run for president in 2020) or you're seriously unhinged (or both - there's certainly precedent for preaching to the base *and* being unhinged).
