Not The Onion. Following 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).
Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who was presiding over the the Senate during the Massachusetts Democrat's speech - who at times was repeating words being said to him by GOP Senate floor staff - initially interrupted Warren to warn her that she was on the brink of violating the rule.
As The Hill reports, the drama on the Senate floor comes after McConnell interrupted Warren's speech accusing her of breaking the upper chamber's guidelines.
“The senator has impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from Alabama,” McConnell said from the Senate floor.

Particularly, since there were 43 fellow traveling idiots of hers that could catch her in bed with both a dead girl and a live prostitute, and would not bat an eye.
Lizzy Warren took an axe,
Gave the Senate forty wacks.
It doesn’t matter that it was Coretta King she was trying to quote. To let her get away with it would mean any senator could say anything about a fellow senator on the floor of the Senate, true or false, as long as it was a quote.
Dingy Hairy used the security of the Senate Floor to attack most of America outside of the Senate. His exercise equipment finslly objected.
THat’s the rule as I understand it. I can’t get around the rule prohibiting me from calling you an a-hole by reading a letter from some 3rd party calling you an a-hole. That’s exactly what she was trying to do and now they’re all butthurt because the weren’t allowed to get away with it.
After watching the clips, I am a little sorry that we don’t do it British Parliament-style. Fauxcahontas needs to be at the receiving end of a rough and rowdy smackdown. At the very least her mic should have been cut and she should have been hauled off by security. Good for Daines (or whatever his name is) and McConnell for putting her in her place, though. She’s not used to being silenced; it was glorious!
(It’s unfortunate that the guy sitting behind McConnell picked that moment—the first McConnell clip— to explore the contents of his nostrils. Whoops.)
Oh noes Chief LIAwatha was not able to speak with forked tongue..now she will go back to her teepee and do her traditional Indian rain dance(Just dont do it for California we are already out of the drought)
PFL
with dirty socks?
McConnell finally grew a set.
Squaw ordered back to her tepee.
Now you know how they really feel about Senate comity.
But keep ignoring reality; the Democrats appreciate your contribution.
They should use heavy copper staples.
And lots of them.
I was kind of hoping for a plastic bag over her head.
Oh my!
I think that’s ‘cause he decided it was okay to get his gonads out of storage after Trump got elected.
The Howie Carr show should be especially fun today.
Liz Warren verbal diarrhea in the wigwam. She’s stinky.
HOORAY Jeff Sessions
WOOHOO Mitch McCounterpunch. The swamp is polluted turtle.
