Warren told to shut up for wanting to read Coretta Scott King's letter

[jodymarie aimee]

Turtle MConnell said she ran afoul of him by impugning him. Shut up and sit down Lizzie. Reminds me so very much of Madison, WI.

[bravenak]

1. He's a fucking asshole and I hope we take back the senate

[hankthecrank]

2. Turtle man is going to regret that

Dummy

[nolabear]

3. She is livid.

So am I!

[Chasstev365]

4. FUCK YOU MITCH!

You will rot in hell for all the evil shit you've done!

[shenmue]

9. Amen

[bdamomma]

17. He is not so clean

dirty filthy man. I learned from a DU thread that was posted McConnell campaign received a donation from DeVos for $36,400. So shut the fuck up.

[madokie]

5. I think the correct spelling is

turdle mcConnell

[Bayard]

6. Just saw this live on MSNBC

McConnell said she was impugning Jeff Sessions, not him.

Astounding.

[NotThisTime]

7. Imagine that, reading a letter about Sessions from Scott King is offensive...

Guess it didn't fit the narrative

[saidsimplesimon]

8. aimee, thank you

The turtle's financial dealings need a bit of investigation, as does his wife. It will happen in my lifetime.

How dare these criminals insult a woman of honour?

[benld74]

10. Here is my tweet to turtle about that

@SenateMajLdr U are the 1 impugning the dignity of the entire Senate by calling Rule 19 against Warren. U sir are the lowest life form

[bdamomma]

18. thank you.

he deserved that.

[unblock]

11. nice little rule they got, can't malign a senator even if they're up for a presidential appointment

[theglammistress]

12. McConnell is trash

And I bet he's going to regret this little stunt.

[milestogo]

13. Ok, please explain the Madison, WI part.

[jodymarie aimee]

15. That is what the Rs have been doing

here for the last 6 years. It is hideous and heart breaking. And sadly, we have no power and no media. At least nationally it is on the teevee.

[Generic Other]

14. She is tweeting up a storm about it

Elizabeth Warren ?@SenWarren

I will not be silent about a nominee for AG who has made derogatory & racist comments that have no place in our justice system.

I will not be silent while the Republicans rubber stamp an AG who will never stand up to the @POTUS when he breaks the law.

[nolabear]

16. #LetHerSpeak trending big time.

[rgbecker]

19. #letherspeak takes you to Michelle Bachmann! You want Letlizspeak.

[nolabear]

30. I saw plenty of them under LetHerSpeak. Caps maybe?

[Glimmer of Hope]

20. He is not only shutting down Senator Warren, he is shutting down Coretta Scott King!

[pinboy3niner]

21. "I've been red-carded."

Not allowed to speak at all for the duration of the debate on Sessions.

[Island Blue]

26. Since when did the Senate

become a soccer match? What. The. Fuck?

[Raster]

22. Fuck you McConnell.

[smirkymonkey]

23. God, I despise that disgusting piece of shit!

YOU sit down and shut up McConnell!

[SaschaHM]

24. I wish I were a Senator.

I'd probably lose my seat by giving that fucking turtle a piece of my mind and letting him see my hands, but damn, it would be worth it. Fuck them all.

[Takket]

25. Yell "you lie" during SOTU, You are a hero

Quote a civil rights icon, you get silenced. America under Trump

[Retrograde]

27. By McConnell's logic

if reading a letter about someone who was not then a senator is impugning that senator, so is voting against him now. So tomorrow we should expect to see about half the senate censored for voting against Sessions.

[octoberlib]

28. Fuck McConnell

[Ushealthlaw]

29. Impossible interpretation of rule xix

Using the rule in this manner makes it impossible to say anything against another Senator who is being considered under "advise and consent." If this is permitted to be used, and Senator who is being confirmed cannot be critisized during debate on the issue of his/her confirmation. This was a first shot across the bow and if permitted to stand will become the norm permitting radical and unqualified Senators to be confirmed rather easily without any real substantive debate.

Like all of these ham handed moves, it can be used by the other side as well in the future. Of course Republicams will be outraged when the other side uses it.
