This is how the Atlanta newspaper is reporting the incident on the Senate floor. I cannot believe the Soviet Pravda would have been this open about its biases.

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.

Reading of Coretta Scott King’s letter forbidden by U.S. Senate

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.

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.

Trump should do a weekly web-cast and stop with the tweets

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.....!!!!!!!!!

Liberal idiot logic.

"I can't say Sessions is a horses ass, but I will read a letter that says he's a horses ass. Don't blame me."
