She's mad. I'm mad. Everybody's mad.

Tweet if you got 'em.

1. Warren got censured? What?

[yeoman6987]

2. She gave a speech which was against senate rules.

[Kingofalldems]

15. Says you and turtle boy, yeoman6987.

Reading a letter from the widow of Martin Luther King is only against republican rules.

[zentrum]

18. An arcane rule.

Please.

[yeoman6987]

19. I know. Just answering the reason.

[Kingofalldems]

22. That's not the reason and you know it, yeoman6987.

[zentrum]

26. This

[Seeking Serenity]

3. She didn't get censured

Merely found to have violated a Senate rule. That's not a censure.

[Staph]

4. Read about it on this DU post:

[babylonsister]

8. She wanted to read the letter, re: Sessions, written by Coretta Scott King.

McConnell basically told her to sit down and shut up.

[Initech]

11. McConnell is the biggest asshole. He can go fuck himself.

[MANative]

5. Tweeted in support of Senator Warren. n/t

[Else You Are Mad]

6. Sadly...

This is going to be seen as a positive by the right wing because a woman was successfully told to shut up and sit down.

[TexasProgresive]

7. Not censured but censored.

[Guilded Lilly]

9. And Republicans daily violate the rules of humanity.

[rgbecker]

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

[colsohlibgal]

12. The Turtle Crossed The Line

Shutting up debate? Hitler is smiling in Hell.

[Takket]

13. its not like anything Warren says is going to get Sessions voted down

but they still have to do this petty rule enforcing to make sure no one talks about his record?

Petty petty petty

its like the republicans are up 30-0 in a football game and arguing over the other team kicking a field goal with 2 seconds left

[nolabear]

14. I edited my title. My bad.

I hope this blows up
In their faces.

[Stonepounder]

16. And you KNOW, without a shadow of a doubt, it wouldn't have happened to a man!

Schumer should get Warren's notes and pick up right where she left off. And if they silence him, they just move down, Senator by Senator, until McConnell has silenced ALL debate on Sessions.

Make it obvious that we no longer have a Representative form of Government.

[nolabear]

17. That would be a really good idea.

I wish they had more guts.

[triron]

27. 2nd that!

[Alice11111]

39. Of course! Obvious! Why haven't they done it?

Missed opportunity! Udall and a few others did. What is wrong with the others. Go for it!

[Starry Messenger]

20. I am totally disgusted.

X(

[MontanaMama]

21. I'm mad. And I'm losing hope.

This has been a shitty day for the good guys/gals.

23. Call McConnell

Let him have it:

202-224-2541

and/or

270-781-1673 (Kentucky office)


Then call Warren and tell her you're with her:

202-224-4543

617-565-3170 (Boston office)

This really burns me up.

24. Just finding out about this.. thanks nolabear!

25. Senator Jeff Merkeley

..then read the letter and was not silenced. Did any one else read that?

And I do think it's #LetLizSpeak

Can anyone clarify?

[triron]

29. huh?

You mean Merkeley was allowed to read it?

[zentrum]

32. Yes, if this report

...is true.

28. I'm Spartagus!

I fully expect other Dems to step up and read that letter. Every single one of them.

This must not be allowed to pass.

[Lifelong Protester]

30. Every one of them should read one sentence at a time.

[Lifelong Protester]

31. Shame on an old white Southern man

for silencing a widow of one of this nation's greatest civil rights advocates.

[zentrum]

33. You bet.

Call every Dem Senator and tell them you expect them to read the letter.

Call McConnell and give him hell.

[Lifelong Protester]

34. I emailed McConnell. I emailed my two senators.

[zentrum]

36. +10000

35. More Sexism from the Republicans

This was just another "gift" from the party that has given us the war on women.

[earnest-hemingway]

37. #LetLizSpeak

If McConnell had never done this, no one would have found out! Now, it's the #1 trend on Twitter. Well played, GOP!

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

38. "Nevertheless she persisted"

That's a compliment if you ask me

Thinking McTurtle's gonna regret this one
