Newark mayor and Democratic platform committee co-chair Cory Booker stopped by CNN’s Starting Point Thursday morning, where he shared his thought on his party’s platform change with host Soledad O’Brien.

“Sometimes as bad as it might seem,” he added, “[There are] imperfections. [There are] mistakes made.”
