Elizabeth Warren: "Mmmmpphhhh, grrrrr, hrmphhhh, mmmm, hhhmmmmmmmph..."

First of all, despite the martyr act, no one has the power to “silence” Sen. Elizabeth Warren — and that’s a good thing. On the other hand, the impulse to silence Warren is completely rational, and it has nothing to do with her gender, ancestry, or ideology. It has everything to do with her sanctimonious lecturing, habitual dishonesty, and disregard of “norms.” She’s been a bully her entire career.
But when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pulled Rule 19, which prohibits all members 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,” I assumed it was a failure in the optics department. (Not to mention an arbitrary, speech-inhibiting rule that should not be used, but that’s another story.)
Shutting down a female senator while she’s reading a letter from civil rights icon Coretta Scott King is a bit on the nose, even for the GOP. “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted,” McConnell mansplained. The incident was transformed into Twitter hashtags #LetLizSpeak and the less catchy #ShePersisted. Both went viral, instilling millions of Democrats with a new sense of purpose. Hashtags > voting.
It seemed pretty obvious to me that the nomination of Jeff Sessions as attorney general was likely a done deal. So it was unlikely any persuadable voter would have even heard about Warren’s grandstanding if it weren’t for the kerfuffle. If it were up to me, however, I’d let Warren speak whenever she wanted to — ceding my time, if necessary — for as long as she wanted on any stage she demanded. The more she speaks, the better for conservatives.

I’m convinced that is exactly what this was all about.
How?
Elizabeth Warren: "Mmmmpphhhh, grrrrr, hrmphhhh, mmmm, hhhmmmmmmmph..."
I thought she already was. Hillary 2.0.
Absolutely, I also wholeheartedly endorse Keith Ellison for DNC chair! I am extremely excited about Keith’s candidacy and, honestly, I can’t think of a better fit.
She heap big pile of buffalo manure.
Lieawatha won’t get the nomination. White people need not apply in the Democrat Party, and that includes those with one one trillionth squaw blood like Fauxahontas. The Democrats are rolling the dice with the minority vote hoping it will be unanimously behind them. It will be a black and Hispanic ticket in 2020 for the Democrats. Of course the white ruling class still rules that party and will be calling the shots as always.
I am all for a Warreen / (Patty) Murray ticket !! Dumb and dumber!
I hate this stupid degenerate communist bitch even more than I hate SHRILLARY!
Okay, maybe not as much, but pretty close .
The Republicans did her a favor. Let the crazy cat lady screech at the neighbor kids.
Liz Warren *thought* she was being too smart by half; that
“reading” the words of Coretta King from over 30 years ago
could not be held to any “rules” by ANYBODY.
Lizzie the leader of the democrat party?
Well - She and most democrats are about equally bat-crap-crazy and wacky enough for that to become the reality.
But you never know how these things will turn out.
Remember when democrats had a big laugh about casting Trump as the leader of the republican party during the campaign?
The voice of Fauxahontas sounds almost exactly like Gladys Ormphby, the old spinster Laugh-In character, played by Ruth Buzzy.
Despite the RATagandist reports stating as much, that's not what got her in trouble. Disparaging and questioning the motivation of Senator Sessions was the violation.
Senator Warren! Take your seat, and STFU!
I like Maxine or Sheila J-L.
“I am all for a Warreen / (Patty) Murray ticket !!”
As per an O’Reilly caller a Franken for pres and Stein for vp. Vote the Franken Stein ticket.
This was all about promoting the sale of Warren’s book that just came out. She’s a greedy hypocrite liar just like all leftists. She gains wealth and power by fooling the ignorant and covetous. It’s the same recipe used by demagogues forever.
BTW, I hear the title of her book is “My Life By the Shores of Lake Gitchigumi”.
