Kate Bedingfield, former President Joe Biden’s longtime communications director, downplayed the impact of Senator Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) marathon speech on Tuesday, suggesting that it was unlikely to disrupt the usual business in the Capitol.

Bedingfield offered her thoughts on Booker’s extended address—lasting 25 hours and five minutes, making it the longest in U.S. Senate history—during an appearance on CNN shortly after the New Jersey senator surpassed the 24-hour mark.

She argued that the overall effect of the stunt would likely be minimal, at best.

Bedingfield started on a positive note, suggesting that Booker’s lengthy speech might resonate with the Democratic base and donors, who she said had been waiting for someone within the party to show “signs of life.”

“The Democratic base, and Democratic donors, are looking for signs of life,” Bedingfield said. “And so what I think Senator Booker is giving them here are — some signs of life. Is it going to have a tangible impact on business in Washington? No, it’s not.”

“It may have a tangible impact on Senator Booker, but it won’t have a tangible impact on business in Washington,” Bedingfield repeated, laughing.

Bedingfield was far from the only one to mock Booker in the aftermath of his so-called “filibuster.”

The Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro noted, “Congrats on your official entry into the Guinness Book of World Records.”

“They went on for YEARS about how the filibuster was a relic of our racist past and tool of minority rule and an assault on democracy,” David Harsanyi posted. “Shameless.”

Rebecca Heinrichs from the Hudson Institute labeled the stunt “The silliest participation trophy in U.S. history.”

“He virtue signaled for 24 hours without actually accomplishing anything. Great illustration of the modern Democrat party,” Republican communications specialist Abigail Jackson posted.

“‘And so he spoketh, and yea, though no legislation was to be voted on, and though they once proclaimed such things an abomination, they did pretend it was a filibuster. And yea, the man who once was Spartacus became like Strom.’ — Booker 24:19,” Christopher Scalia from the American Enterprise Institute added.
