Elizabeth Warren Says Mitch McConnell Won't Even Say Hello To Her
Huffington Post ^ | April 15, 2017 | Sam Levine

"I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has apparently been ignoring Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) since moving to silence her on the Senate floor in February, Warren told The Boston Globe.

McConnell cut Warren off in February as she tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King during a speech on the Senate floor, explaining her opposition to Jeff Session’s nomination to be attorney general. McConnell invoked a little-used rule that blocks senators "by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator."

Even though Sessions was eventually confirmed and two months have passed since the incident, the relationship between the two senators still remains frosty.

"I've spoken to him, but he has not spoken to me," Warren told the Globe in an interview published Saturday. "I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head."

I’ll bet Liz was the type in college who at the party after two or three drinks became a whining, crashing bore because she felt ‘’No one likes me!’’.

Since I wouldn’t pi$$ on her if she was on fire, I think not saying hello is a mild expression of disapproval.

This is the hag who brayed about how tough she was in her ridiculous “Nasty Woman” stump speech for Kankles. Now she’s whimpering that Yertle the Tertle won’t say hi to her. Hahaha, that’s very funny. :0)
