Rosario Dawson’s Shocking Reaction to Ex Cory Booker’s Epic Senate Speech

Rosario Dawson has no bad blood with Cory Booker.

Indeed, the actress from the show “Kids” recently expressed her enthusiasm following her former partner’s remarkable achievement. This was when he established a new record with his 25-hour, five-minute filibuster delivered to the Senate, surpassing the previous record set by Strom Thurmond in 1957.

In an Instagram story posted on April 4th, Dawson cheered on Cory Booker with the message: “Keep going @corybooker! We’re incredibly proud of your achievements. Time for a well-deserved rest now. You did great! #GoodTrouble

In a subsequent move, the 45-year-old shared additional images endorsing Booker – someone she parted ways with in 2022 following over two years together.

A recent post by X, shared by Dawson on Instagram, stated that “Cory’s speech stands out as concise, substantial, and easy to understand.” It’s not just a waste of time; it’s truly remarkable and highly impressive.

Booker’s speech, during which he expressed concern over the country allegedly facing a crisis under President Trump’s administration, started around 7 p.m. on March 31 and ended after 8 p.m. on April 1. He had aimed to surpass his own marathon speech from 2016, when he spoke for 15 hours alongside Senator Chris Murphy about gun violence.

Still, he told CNN he was hoping to speak as he was “physically able.”

Although he hadn’t intentionally aimed for it, the 55-year-old felt content when he surpassed the record Thurmond established by debating against the 1957 Civil Rights Act for an extended period of 24 hours and 18 minutes.

In an interview with CNN, Booker shared that since joining the Senate, he’s constantly felt an unusual darkness looming over this establishment. As someone raised hearing tales of the Civil Rights Movement, he personally found it incongruous and always had a sense of discomfort about it.

Simultaneously, Rosario, who began dating poet Nnamdi Okafor in 2022 following her split with Cory, has remained a constant supporter of Cory’s professional journey.

In an Instagram message after his 2020 re-election to the Senate, she expressed: “It’s reassuring to know that your guidance, marked by love, wisdom, patience, elegance, and efficiency, will continue to lead us. This is the kind of representation and hope we yearn for.
