Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren talks with Rachel Maddow about the election of Donald Trump, what non-Trump voters can do to assuage their despair, and the path forward for Democrats.
Transcript, via MSNBC: (snip)
MADDOW: "..... People are very, very upset. And I keep hearing, you can't move to Canada, you can't go into your shell, you can't be despondent, you have to fight. But fight how?WARREN: " ..... his entire campaign was fueled on racism and bigotry, attacks on women, attacks on African-Americans, attacks on Latinos, attacks on Muslims, attacks on people who were disabled. I mean, it was one attack after another.
And that means we have to think about what this means for America and where we go forward right now. .... that Donald Trump brought a kind of bigotry to the fore that we've never seen so publicly in our politics or at least not in a very, very, very long time.

Warren: "Look, people are upset and they're right to be upset. This is our country, and people have a right to have their voices heard. ....
We have a right to be heard, but we also have an obligation to listen. You know, part of what happened on Tuesday is what Donald Trump offered up with this kind of toxic stew of bigotry, but there were millions of people across this country who voted for him not because of that bigotry but in spite of that bigotry.

They have a right to speak, but nobody has an obligation to listen.
Let her continue to treat half the country with contempt. It can only help the cause.
She would encourage people to go on the War Path.
I was at both of the Tea Party protests. It was a very well behaved crowd. The grounds were left clean. The police were only needed for traffic control.
There was ZERO footage of anyone acting out of line.
Why can’t we just agree to get Soros’s sorry butt to France where he’s already been convicted? There has to be some way to do this legally. Let him spend his remaining years in a French jail.
They have a right to protest — but not to destroy property.
Hey Fauxahontas, you Nasty Nasty Woman, you backed the phoniest and most corrupt candidate EVER. Patriotic Americans kicked her giant cottage cheese @ss to the curb on Election Day. Get over it, you weakling crybaby LOSER.
We already know what George Soros and the NWO think.
Funny. When Aaron Klein of Sweet Cakes by Melissa declined to actively participate in a gay parody of a wedding by baking their cake, the Kleins were told they had no right to voice their opinion and were fined $135,000.
When normal people respond to #BlackLivesMatter with "All Lives Matter", we are called racist and silenced.
When half the country votes for freedom, we are told that voting against Hillary was racist and many of us are silenced.
Apparently, the only voices that Warren thinks have a right to be heard are those she agrees with. She also thinks rioting is having their voices heard. I've listened to liberals carefully for my entire life, and I've found they have nothing of value to say.
Maddow says “And I keep hearing, you can’t move to Canada”
Why not, Rachel? There’s no wall keeping you here, and I don’t think Canada has a wall keeping you out.
No, they have the right to speak, they DON’T have the right to be heard.
So this communist slut bastard fake injun is actually ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE AND RIOTS.
Bitch tw*t needs to blow.
They have no right to block traffic, assault others, or destroy public and private property.
With any luck at all, Wikileaks will find emails to show Warren also conducted in some kind of criminal activity and Giuliani can put her in Club Fed with the rest of the Clinton crime syndicate.
Yes, but they do not have a right to riot.
And as Dennis Miller said last night, since the election is over (a few days ago), the question is “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
They have the right to say all the stupid stuff they want but they have no right to force me to hear their temper tantrums.
We have free speech.
We do not have free destruction.
