Democrat Cory Booker and Republican Rand Paul are a rare bipartisan Senate pair who have found areas of agreement, but one issue remains deeply divisive for the two self-described friends: Hair.
Booker, whose bald head often stands out on the Senate floor, suggested the Kentucky senator should follow in his footsteps and get rid of his own distinctive head of curls in a Tuesday night tweet.
The comment came in response to Paul’s “Airing of Grievances” on Twitter earlier that day, a tradition that’s part of the fictional holiday of Festivus, popularized by the television show “Seinfeld.”
Paul both tweaked Booker, for not re-tweeting him enough, and complimented him for their work together on various issues, including criminal justice reform.
And Booker, in the spirit of the holiday, returned the compliment.
