Senate Votes To Gag Elizabeth Warren After Anti-Sessions Outburst

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."

She’s now an exalted hero on Twitter.

If that's an example of a libtard aspirational goal, they only expose themselves for extreme shallowness, IMO. In the meantime, she is further marginalized away from the room where the adults are conducting business.

Senator Warren had finished reading Ms. King’s letter and had made many statements on other topics. She was gagged because of her agreeing with Senator Ted Kennedy calling Senator Sessions a disgrace. I hope she will not get away with using Mrs. King as a shield to cover her misconduct.

Twitter is extremely liberal, and has multiple anti-Trump hashtags trending every day. It means nothing. The site is only good for watching Leftist meltdowns, such as November 9, when Jeff Sessions is confirmed, etc.

Everyone is getting tired of these screaming lunatics

Odd, isn't it? The folks objecting to everything are the same ones who complained because hillary lost because of the Electoral College. My point? President Trump won in 33 states. What's going to happen when Democratic Senators from those states have to answer to their voters?

Hard for jelly fish to have a backbone.

She was quoting a murderer like Ted Kennedy, oh yeah let’s crank up the credibility Fauxcahontas. BTW I can’t recall the murderer or Fauxcahontas ever saYing anything about KKK recruiter Robert Byrd.

One might say she is on the warpath, but that would be cultural appropriation...........

Hey Pocapuntus

Nasty woman.

I find that unlikely to continue, given their recent histories. I would like to know why Corretta Scott King wrote that letter. I have heard her speak a few times and she appears to be a pro life conservative.

She screeches in the same octave as Hillary.

[b4its2late]

Good. She’s unhinged.

It’s all about the money. In this case Wailing Liz is packing in donations for her senate run.
