In the midst of a Democratic protest this evening against the nomination of U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., as the next attorney general, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., began reading the contents of a 1986 letter from Coretta Scott King, widow of the slain civil rights leader, protesting his nomination as a U.S. District judge. (That nomination was unsuccessful.)
But 31 years later, Warren was sanctioned by her Senate colleagues for reading the letter on the chamber floor, which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said impugned the character of her fellow senator.

Left completely reframed it.
FAKE NEWS.
It’s what they do!
Excellent example of Fake News.
This is a gross misrepresentation of what happened.
Luckily, a few of the comments (at link) are attempting to set Pravda ACJ straight.
Reading anything that violates Senate rules is prohibited.
Dishonest media is really good at being dishonest.
What about Alveda King? Do the libs want to quote her?
Another example why some in here refer to the paper and the “Atlanta Urinal and Constipation” because its full of crap!
But we live in fake news era... I do hope people are paying attention.
They are allowed to read it to themselves.
I hope people in Georgia aren’t still buying that liberal propaganda.
Deliberately dishonest statement of what happened.
Attacking the Character of a Senator on the Senate floor is forbidden. Elizabeth Warren was reading a letter from Coretta Scott King in which she attacked the character of Sessions back in 1983.
The rule applies to attacking the character of a Senator, even if you do it through the proxy of someone else's writing.
The media is just doing it's usual lying and spinning to promote the Democrat agenda.
After a generation, liberals are still playing the race card.
Its insulting, irrelevant and tiresome.
Jeff Sessions is still being accused of who he was 30 years ago and not respected for the man he is today.
Left as usual, is dividing us for political gain.
This is exactly the angle the news crawl on ALL of our local news is going with
They couldn’t win. If she reads it , it’s a sound bite, if she doesn’t they shut her up. We can’t give an inch to these people.
Atlanta is a liberal (majority black) Democrat stronghold. Author Terry Goodkind wrote an entire book on the premise the "People will believe any lie that they want to be true or are afraid is true." The Atl fishwrapper caters to those people who will believe any lie that they want to be true.
There were parts of the letter in the rant, but overall it was wrapped with hateful horseshit.
Not only is this fake news, it comes with hate from the hateful media.
Typical distortion of reality by LIB lunatics...typical. LIBs are never to be trusted about anything.
Just set up his own server and webcam and spend a half hour each week telling what he did and why, what he plans on doing the next week, and what hurdles he sees in his way.
Start with a review and comment on the news- tell what happened and then point out the media lie about it
This is a perfect example. Warren reads something out of context the disparages Sessions, which is against their rules.
So instead of reporting “Senate stops lying crap-weasel from defaming a Senator” they report it as “Senate censors Martin Luther King”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....!!!!!!!!!
