Senate Votes To Gag Elizabeth Warren After Anti-Sessions Outburst
Zero Hedge ^ | Feb 7, 2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/08/2017 12:28:59 AM PST by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

ollowing a scathing speech against Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said Senator Elizabeth Warren had "impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from Alabama," violating the so-called 'Rule 19'. By a vote of 49-43, Senator Warren was then barred from speaking on the floor until Senator Sessions nomination debate is complete (likely tomorrow evening)....

McConnell defended the decision, noting Warren had been warned.

"Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation," he said after the vote. "Nevertheless, she persisted."

FINALLY, McConnell & Ryan are showing a measure of backbone.

A little... Waiving Senate committee rules to force a vote when the Democrats refused to show up was a nice change too. However, they need to repeal Obamacare. Pass the bill, and send it to the President. Then we can talk about their backbone. The ACA is bankrupting small business.

Nothing to talk about....this insane woman should be removed from public office by the voters in Massachusetts!!! I kind of love her, and Al Franken, staying in the Senate. The year 2018 is going to be a great year for Trump & the Republican Party!!!

Twitter is being twisted to a leftist view. I do not have a twitter, but my millennial daughter does. She says she is on a social media break due to all the negative political ranting. And she has shared with me about some of her peers, who I thought would be in favor of Trump, but are instead against him.

These young people live in an echo chamber with the bullhorns of media, academia, and entertainment reinforcing the leftist view. We have lost at least a generation to this one world, borderless view, compounded with the last 8+years of school children being taught that Obama is their god.

It was from a 1986 letter when King was accusing Sessions acting as a Federal Prosecutor of basically being racist. It’s ridiculous to quote something from 3 decades ago when the guy has proved over and over he isn’t since that time.

Is her indian tribe mounting a protest yet?

The Faux River Never Was a Tribe don’t do much protesting.

Since they are not real, we never really hear from them!

Warren is too cute by half, she knew she was violating rules but wanted to play the race card - totally pathetic.

Oh, and EXPECT the hateful media to portray this in a biased fashion supporting warren and making the GOP look bad for doing what was right and correct.

Nope. I don’t agree. Not today. LOL

It would make Warren happy for me to hate him so I won’t.

But really you know the best thing about Donald Trump being president?

HRC not being president - as Trump learns, redefines and ties the ropes in knots lets remember that. I hope folks on the right give him the honeymoon even if the lunatic violent racist Democratics in the media won't.

I want to say that warren embarrassed herself and her voters by getting bitch slapped to shut up. this unhinged communist is a discredit to the fine people of Massachusetts . I urge that she be stripped of all committee positions now and expelled if she ever starts slander again in the senate chambers. She is a clown😂

“Sorry but I don’t buy it, wouldn’t surprise me if turtle told her to keep going until he did that. He’s a Sorpub...Soros Republican.”

The same Passive GOP ‘leadership’ in the face of LEFTIST EXTREMISM was/is betrayal......now that the Republicans have the muscle in the Legislature, we must demand more of the professional hand wringers....

....The only way we are going to get the aggressive Republican leadership desperately NEEDED AT THIS TIME is to keep the spotlight focused on FLINCH & Cry’n Ryan
