Cory Booker Communications Director Resigns

Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker's communications director Anne Torres has resigned in the wake of the mayor's controversial "Meet the Press" remarks.

Torres said she has "nothing bad to say" about Booker in a phone interview with the Wall Street Journal.

"It's just time for me to move on," Torres said, noting that she's "taking a long vacation" now that she's resigned.

"This kind of stuff is nauseating to me on both sides," Booker said. "It's nauseating to the American public. Enough is enough. Stop attacking private equity."

The Obama campaign recently released a series of documentary-style videos portraying Romney as a job-destroying corporate takeover artist. After chastising the videos, both Booker and Obama worked to clarify the statements.
