US Sen. Cory Booker will be buying fellow senator Jeff Flake’s staff pizza after the New Jersey Democrat lost a snowball battle to the Arizona Republican on Thursday, March 22.
“I neglected to tell him though that I am definitely sending a vegan pizza or two,” Booker, a well-known vegan, said on Twitter.
Booker and Flake both called the snowball fight a duel, with Booker citing the famous Alexander Hamilton-Aaron Burr duel. Whoever got hit the most would buy pizza for the other’s staff, Booker tweeted. Booker later conceded, saying he lost the battle 3-2.
Booker, though, said he was set up, tweeting, “Lost this morning’s snowball duel to a guy named Flake from Snowflake, Arizona!” Credit: Cory Booker via Storyful
