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.

McConnell - Maybe

Ryan - Not so much

“”She really sounds unhinged””

I really believe she is insane.. She doesn’t even LOOK normal. All those women are unhinged but she’s way over the line.

You mean the tribe of frothing and foaming at-the-mouth liberals on Disgracebook?

I can’t believe how stupid people are... well... maybe I can... I’ve been reading some of the absolute garbage my “friends” post... it’s like everyone is in a remedial civics class - every... single... day....

Meanwhile, the media spins like a top!!!!

...with only 44% of registered voters polled thinking she should be re-elected. She’s quite vulnerable here and there are some sizeable areas of deep red that will not appreciate her antics. She’s taking a gamble that the lib concentrated cities will answer her rally call next year so she can assume leadership of the Bernie Revolution (read: snowflakes) in 2020.

Twitter is overrun with nutcases living in their parents’ basements. The only one worth following is the president.

McConnell is not a Sorus republican.

No known donations taken.

‘’’’’’’’’’’’
Looks like you are correct.

I would say then, he is a “Sorry republican”, a dirtbag, backstabbing woosie. Would you agree?

Fauxcahontas must have wanted this result - now she and her tribe can run about screaming, “Those evil Republicans gagged me!”

Well, turnabout is fair play. She has initiated the gag reflex in millions of people every time she opens her fugly big mouth.
