*After Sen. Cory Booker delivered a rousing, well-received speech Monday on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention, praising Hillary Clinton and denouncing Trump, Trump fired back on Twitter, writing, “If Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have no future! I know more about Cory than he knows about himself.”

Shown the tweet during an interview on CNN’s “New Day” the New Jersey senator was asked what dirt Trump might have on him, if any. Booker said he had no clue and responded to the GOP presidential nominee’s entire tweet with “love.”

“Let me tell you right now: I love Donald Trump,” Booker said. “I don’t want to answer his hate with hate. I’m going to answer it with love. I’m not going to answer his darkness with darkness. I love him. I know his kids, I know his family. They’re good, the children especially, good people.”

Booker also expressed relief to have finally been a Trump target after so many of his Senate colleagues, including John McCain and Elizabeth Warren, have come under fire.

“I love you, Donald. I pray for you. I hope that you find some kindness in your heart, that you’re not going to be somebody that spews out insults to your political opposition, that you’re going to start finding some ways to love,” Booker said. “I’m going to elevate him. I love you, I just don’t want you to be my president. I don’t want to you have the White House to be spewing that kind of mean-spirited hate that doesn’t even belong on a playground sandbox.”

“The reality is, I’m sorry, I’m just going to keep loving on him,” he continued. “I’m going to tell the truth about him, but I’m going to keep loving on him, praying for the best for him and his family. That kind of vitriol, that kind of meanness, has no place in the presidency. Bring it on, Donald. Show your truth. I’m going to show mine. Love you, brother.”
