What absolute horsecrap.
Women in the Senate are old hat, from Mikulski to Kassebaum to - yes - Clinton.
Why would anyone voluntarily perpetuate the double standard of don't-hit-the-girls?
Warren is an irritant. A harpy. A loudmouth. A demagogue. She is no better and in many ways worse than Harry Reid with his Droopy Dog mumbling. They are all cowards, relying on Senate parliamentary protections to slander any member of the body or any citizen.
She was made to look a fool and a bully who had her bluff called. Those are the only relevant optics and ones worth celebrating.
>>Forget the Warren Slap-Down,
Uhuh.
Forget...
The defendants initially requested the judge acquit them and then later offered to plead guilty to the election crimesfacts Adams notes were omitted in Patricks written statement and severely undercut the claim that Sessions should not be trusted, given his record of bringing the unnecessary case

..the FACTS in that case.
“... to effectively call Sessions a racist who’s sought to disenfranchise black voters, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell intervened.”
He invoked Rule 19, which prohibits any member from taking to the floor and directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.
Wow, so much fun! I watched the video and was struck (first time ever) that McConnell finally seemed to be worthy of his position.
TEAM TRUMP = MAGA...
Benson is a never trumper.
We have a winner!!!
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) Disciplined For Disrepecting The Memory Of Martin Luther King Jr.
Warren was criticized for using a Coretta King letter in a clumsy fund raising scheme.
This is not the first time Warren has been called out for racist insensitivity and using race to advance her own personal fortunes.
The Senator is also known as Lyin' Lizzie, Fauxahontis and Lie-A-Watha for falsely claiming Native American heritage as a way to scam her former employer and others.
Don't forget "Crockajawea."
Thank You.
Reader input is always welcome.
We'll try to get that in the Late Edition.
Excellent headline
They must have been. I laughed my ass off!
Jeff Session broke the back of the KKK in Alabama. Bad people went to jail because of this. How many KKK members has Elizabeth Warren put in jail!
See link below for what Jeff Sessions did. He is a damn good man.
She knew what she was doing. She had the option of alluding to or describing what was in the letter. It could have been damning to Sessions but still within the rules, and she didn't take that option. She understood what the consequences would be and can't pretend that it was a surprise to her.
The optics aren't good. Telling a woman to effectively 'sit down and shut up' as she quotes Coretta Scott King isn't a great look, regardless of the context (and I concede that the context matters here, just as I acknowledge that a great many voters will never hear it). Also, it makes Warren into a martyr, breathing life into her obnoxious heroine complex.
Maybe McConnell wanted to feed her martyr complex. Maybe it's part of a strategy to make the Democrats even crazier than they've been. It could have been part of a strategy to boost her as a possible presidential candidate -- a candidate who would be easy to beat in 2020.
Am I the only getting tired of treating women with chivalry? I’m 46 and my whole life I’ve heard women can do ANYTHING a man can do, and maybe better. They compete with men for jobs and so many of them point out that they are strong and independent.
So the fake Indian can go take a long walk off a short pier if she tries to play the poor little woman card. In fact she can just go F herself for being a worthless libtard!
Tiresome double standard that is invoked by RINO squishes more often than even Dems.
If she is going to be the face of the loony left I don’t care if she’s male, female or other.
This Guy Benson is in need of a pussyhat. What a total wuss to cave like an establishment repub once the Senate finally does something right.
I can barely find an article these days that doesn’t piss me off in one way or another.
You forgot “sitting Bulls***”!
Excellent sessions fauxahontis headline
excellent sessions so called racism link
That might be it. It's hard to imagine a worse leader than "centrist" Hillary though. Many Dems believe that a younger version of Bernie would have beaten Trump.
