The tweet came in response to Booker and Biden attacking each other over their criminal justice records. Booker had accused Biden of creating the criminal justice problems he was proposing solutions for, and Biden shot back by accusing the former Newark mayor of allowing illegal “stop and frisk” practices during his term.

The exchange has since become one of the most talked-about from Wednesday night’s debate.
