Should the Democratic senators who threw Elizabeth Warren under the bus be censured ?

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump taunted Democrats by telling them "Pocahontas is now the face of your party" -- his insult of choice for Sen. Elizabeth Warren -- during a meeting with senators earlier this week, sources told CNN.

Thursday’s meeting was an attempt to foster bipartisan support for Gorsuch, whose confirmation requires 60 votes in the Senate, where Republicans hold 52 seats. Attending were: Sens. Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp, Jon Tester, Lamar Alexander, Chris Coons, Shelley Moore Capito, John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Joe Donnelly and Michael Bennet.

In 2009 Democrats allowed the Republicans to blame the huge deficit on Obama even though he bailed us out of the worst Depression since 1929
The blame game worked for them because they were able to convey this message to the voters..Democrats did not fight back.
They should have walked out of that meeting ..no question...
By allowing Trump to get away with this insult it showed Trump that his Senate Majority might just be larger than he thinks.

they were, but it is possible they were taken off guard at such an unexpected verbiage from this inane asshole, that they were literally left speechless?

Of course if that is the case, it is easily corrected if they come out Monday, and slam this asshole for his arrogance, rudeness, and typical bullying behavior, by spewing a racial slur toward a member of the opposition party

As far as I am concerned the Democrats in Congress should stand up and demand an apology from trump for all his racist and sexist slurs that he used during the campaign, and continues to do so, and until that is done, they should not meet with that piece of garbage, because that is what he is
