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."

She’s now an exalted hero on Twitter.

And in the Media and youtube of course. The way I see it is that few people were actually listening to Warren, and by gagging her you may actually helping her cause. But you could argue that there have to be some rules against smears. Maybe Rule 19 should be changed to allow truly factual attacks against a senator. The letter in question contained opinions rather than facts.

The Dems wanted to put the Coretta Scott King letter into the record. The acting President said it is already in the record, but the Dems said it's not the entire letter.

I went on social media for the first time in a couple of years to see what was being said.
WOW. the left come out with all sorts of deranged , remarks and fake news,and when you ask them a simple question.
You are met with insults, vile language, and attacks on mass.

They just not are used to being asked a question, or presenting any kind of facts. They have surrounded themselves with like minded people where they get away with all sorts of accusations

Iron Eyes Cody.....I know he isn’t still alive, altho I don’t know when he passed.

Try a trivia game on your Liberal friends-—

Ask then who played Tonto, and who played the Lone Ranger.

Only about 5 % have the right answer. Most will tell you Iron Eye Cody.

Tom Brady has time to win one more SB, retire, and run against Sen. Barking Moonbat in 2018.

Squaw As-White-As-You needs to be forced to take a DNA test and then give back all that AA money she squandered.

In Salt Lake City!

Wife forcing me to watching David Muir tonight. Nothing but snarling attacks on Trump for the first 16 minutes. He’s turned into a mean SOB - wonder what’s got him so worried? As bad as f4cking Pelley. Fox News not much better.

L.C., I don’t think Iron Eyes Cody was a Mormon or even knew what Lamanites were according to the BoM. He reveled in his new Indian self and was otherwise harmless. Maybe his teary visage was genuine and really did motivate people to police up their trash.

But he’d sure flunk a DNA test looking for Hebraic origins.

;^)

Is that Poke-a-hoh-tits? She was the tribal mattress when she was a juvenile. Now in her bitterness she still is attempting to pu$$y-whip America into leftist oblivion.

Notice that she has not been her present on the wind swept prarie hills of Dakota , protesting the pipeline. Too cold there for our Senator fecal mouthed liberal fascist Senator.

I hope she continues to lead the Dem party. It will mean continued growth of the Republican Party.

To the honorable Elizabeth Warren:

Hey, Massachusetts Muskrat, why not take the democRATS as far left as possible? Get those Bernie bots excited about socialism and fat gubberment checks in the mailbox. And don't forget to explain how you'll raise taxes and take lots more Wampum from middle class workers.

Go for it. Wear your Squaw heritage proudly. Wave your tomahawk and 1/32nd credentials high. Put on those feathers.

It's an historic opportunity! While you won't be the first Injun to run for president, it's a big step up from president of a casino.
