Republican Dr. Rik Mehta is challenging Sen. Cory Booker for his seat in New Jersey and doesn’t hold back when it comes to criticizing his foe, mocking the Democratic lawmaker with Trump-like tenacity.
Dr. Mehta has labeled Sen. Booker a “fraud” that lost the trust of constituents with “disingenuous showboating” when running for president to increase his own name recognition.
Speaking to Fox News' Media Angle, Mehta discussed his unique background, the mainstream media, how he’ll campaign amid the coronavirus pandemic and why he thinks the people of New Jersey are sick and tired of Sen. Booker.
MEDIA ANGLE: You’re running for Cory Booker’s seat, who has a national profile after his presidential campaign and infamous “Spartacus' moment” during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings. How do you plan on competing with him as a political outsider?
