Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey talked about his beliefs at the CNN Town Hall event in March, explaining that “Christ is the center of my life” and that he believes “in that radical love of all people.”

“I was taught that faith demands, first and foremost, humility before God, that you look at your brother and sister regardless of their faith, regardless of their background, with a conviction of love. Love thy neighbor,” explained Sen. Booker, according to a rush transcript.

“I believe that the Bible talks more about poverty, about greeting the stranger, about being there for the convicted far more than it talks about the kind of toxic stuff you often hear the president spewing out there. And our immigration policy violates not only American values, but the values of our faith traditions.”
