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."

Democrats have had it their way or the highway for so long, they don’t know how to engage in civil discourse. Republicans have had to sit at the back of the buss eating their peas while Democrats screeched like Harpies. They think nothing has changed.

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

The Democrats are completely unhinged.

Predictably the lefties are accusing McConnell of not allowing Fauxahontas her right to speak, and praising her for bringing up the name of Correta Scott King. I’m tired of rich white liberals like Fauxahontas Lieawatha Warren invoking the name of a person of color for cheap political points when using the race card. These white liberals are responsible for so much of the crap that is ruining our country!

A gag is a good start, but the outfit won't be complete without the Straitjacket.
