LOL, I hope this fake indian succeeds in becoming the leader of the dumbocrats.
Great move by Mitch McConnell. I didn’t think he had it in him.
> I will not be silenced?<
Neither will we and more ears are listening to us you freak.
Keep it up ..... We appreciate your stupidity
big chief sitting bull
No, she really is Elizabeth Warren. This is not a Carol Burnette sketch.
Lizzie Warren took an ax
And gave the Senate forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her party forty-one
No, but illegal alien ears don't count.
You against Trump in 2020 - a dream come true!!
Ah, shaddup Fauxcahontas.
Wall of text, incomprehensible.
0:00 so please welcome via satellite senator 0:02 Elizabeth Warren yeah love you three 0:12 capitals last night you were accused by 0:13 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell 0:15 of imputing or criticizing Senator Jeff 0:18 Sessions have been nominated for the 0:20 very important job of attorney general 0:22 yeah I'm your criticism of another 0:25 senator which it is against the rules 0:28 that's the rule rule rule 19 and do you 0:31 think do you think you violate the rules 0:33 of the senate so I did not think I was 0:35 violating the rules of the senate you 0:37 know keep in mind that jeff sessions 0:40 have been the US Attorney for Alabama 0:43 back in the 1980s and he had prosecuted 0:46 civil rights workers for trying to help 0:50 elderly black voters get to the polls 0:53 and so correct scott king who was just 0:57 an eyewitness to history and all of this 0:59 ended up writing a letter to the senate 1:02 judiciary committee when Jeff session 1:05 was nominated to be a federal judge and 1:08 so I was reading from good letter to the 1:12 senate judiciary committee from 1986 and 1:15 I read this line mr. sessions has used 1:19 the awesome power of his office to chill 1:23 the free exercise of the vote by black 1:26 citizens 1:27and that was it 1:29 and you were totally shut down because 1:32 you wanted to read that letter but in 1:34 2015 senator Ted Cruz called Mitch 1:37 McConnell a liar from the Senate floor 1:39 which violated rule 19 which is the same 1:42 rule that they say you violated that 1:43 what do you think 1:44 McConnell didn't respond to that when he 1:47 was the inn in office do you think that 1:49 it was party loyalty or what look you 1:52 have to ask mitch mcconnell about that 1:54 but what I do know is that correct Scott 1:58 King's words are deeply moving they are 2:02 powerful and they described a moment in 2:05 history and which jeff Sessions was an 2:09 active participant they reveals much 2:12 about jeff Sessions character and the 2:13 Republicans don't want to hear it 2:16 they want to find a way to shut it down 2:18 I urge everybody to go read Coretta 2:22 Scott King letter i've posted on my 2:25 Facebook I've read it aloud and and 2:28 tweeted it out i hope everybody reads 2:31 the letter because the letter is 2:33 directly relevant to the question of 2:35 whether or not Jeff session should be 2:37 allowed to be the highest one forcement 2:40 officer in the entire land i'm gonna go 2:43 read that letter i probably will send 2:46 award 2:48 addicts reason McIntyre I was 12 nobody 2:52 do you think this would have happened if 2:53 you were a man you know I can't know 2:57 what 2:58 but I'll tell you this you're reminded 3:01 how hard the struggle is can reach 3:04 another little part of Coretta Scott 3:07 King letter she talks about later in the 3:10 latter the irony of mr. sessions 3:13 nomination is that is confirmed he will 3:17 be given life tenure for doing with a 3:20 federal prosecution what local sheriff 3:23 accomplished 20 years ago with clubs and 3:27 cattle prod 3:28 that's what Prescott Kings had to say 3:31 that's that's why I want everyone to 3:33 read the LA where we will what good 3:35 senator this is suspended at the study 3:37 happen you know why do you still 3:39 strongly opposed Senator Jeff Sessions 3:41 nomination for attorney general because 3:43 he has denied his races he has denied he 3:46 is bigoted no talking street actions are 3:50 what matter 3:54 can I get something for a second senator 3:58 because a lot of people in Congress that 4:00 have worked with him over the years they 4:01 exactly that and he's a great guy we've 4:03 worked with him 4:04 the Democrats were okay with him all 4:06 these years now all of a sudden they're 4:07 turning what do you have you went to 4:09 that but this is not about confirming 4:12 someone to the Attorney General because 4:14 they're polite 4:15 this is about whether or not this is 4:17 someone who can be trusted to uphold the 4:21 right of everyone everyone in America 4:25 not just those who share his political 4:27 opinion you know that the Coretta Scott 4:30 King concluded her letter by saying 4:33 based on his record right not on what 4:36 conversations like based on his record i 4:39 believe his confirmation would have a 4:42 devastating effect not only on the 4:45 judicial system and Alabama but also on 4:48 the progress we have made everywhere 4:50 towards fulfilling my husband's dream 4:53 that he envisioned over 20 years ago 4:56 that from the widow of Martin Luther 4:58 King jr. said senator someone expressed 5:04 concern that if you set the precedent on 5:06 either Republican or Democrat side of 5:09 breaking Senate rules on the floor to 5:10 obstruct that it only leads to more cast 5:13 and divisive nest and that it doesn't 5:14 really accomplish anything what you're 5:16 responsible to say about it 5:17 my view is reading a sentence that says 5:20 he has used the awesome power of his 5:23 office to kill the free exercise of the 5:26 vote by black citizens did not break any 5:29 rules 5:29 it is a factual statement exactly what 5:33 is managed and you know it's directly 5:36 relevant to the question of whether you 5:38 should be attorney-general keep in mind 5:40 we have in the Senate a constitutional 5:43 responsibility to debate and then advise 5:47 and consent on this nominee and the 5:50 notion that this violates the rules hate 5:55 that that someone who was there beside 5:59 said he used his power to chill the free 6:03 exercise of the post like black citizens 6:05 breaks to court 6:07 no it's not about to form and talking 6:12 about the specs is what we should be 6:13 doing on the United States Senate for 6:16 your wife Sarah I want to ask for some 6:21 advice for people out there who are 6:23 trying to support the president and the 6:25 administration for the good of the 6:26 country but don't want to be normalizing 6:29 the behavior of President jump right now 6:31 what some people do 6:33 I got some number one thing for people 6:34 to do right now is to stay connected to 6:37 each other 6:38 it really is it's the reason we have 6:40 facebook and it's the reason we have 6:42 twitter and it's the reason we have 6:44 email account and we have thought to 6:47 stay connected to each other because 6:49 we're going to have very limited tools 6:51 on our side here in the Senate and over 6:54 in the house of representatives we don't 6:56 we don't control the government but it's 6:59 the grassroots its people out there 7:02 person to person to person across the 7:04 country saying these are my democratic 7:08 values it is the reminder that the 7:10 character of this nation is not the 7:14 character of this president it's the 7:16 character of its people 7:18 that's what really ok that's how it 7:24 feels about this story i think is that 7:26 it's getting is getting a lot of 7:27 backlash they are getting back like this 7:29 this hashtag elected speak and their 7:33 t-shirts out there saying she persisted 7:36 to think that any of this kind of 7:38 backlash for protests you think they'll 7:41 have any impact on jeff Sessions 7:43 confirmation I mean there's been a lot 7:44 of backlash on a lot of these nominees 7:46 and they still got confirmed as far as i 7:48 can tell you know what they've got the 7:51 vote they may go ahead and confirm him i 7:53 just have to be realistic 7:55 we may not be able to stop it i'll tell 7:57 you this that does not mean that we give 8:00 up 8:00 it has not mean that we lay down and die 8:03 it means we get out there in street 8:05 fighting at 8:06 grassroots level I hope you're right 8:10 because rush limbaugh has famously said 8:12 all this marching and protesting they're 8:14 all going to get tired of it you think 8:16 we're going to get tired no rush we are 8:18 not going to get tired 8:20 we are here to stay you bet I know you 8:24 don't have a good time and elizabeth 8:30 warren we'll be right back
