We often see records being set for the most bizarre and unique things - like the longest fingernails, the most Big Macs consumed in a lifetime, or the largest rubber duck collection. Well, what do you know? It looks like we just got ourselves another such record - this time, by a popular U.S. Senator!
Democrat Cory Booker just set a record on Tuesday for the longest speech in Senate history, speaking for a whopping 25 hours and 4 minutes. He surpassed the previous record of 24 hours and 18 minutes, set in 1957 by Senator Strom Thurmond.
In his marathon speech, Booker condemned the current administration’s policies, and after finally wrapping up, he was met with roaring applause from fellow senators for his historic feat.
Hilarious meme fest erupts as Cory Booker breaks record
The internet has since exploded with memes as Cory Booker shattered the record with his 25-hour speech, with users celebrating the massive feat in the best way they know - through humor.
