Senator Bernie Sanders: "This is the United States Senate and the American people expect from us a vigorous debate on the important issues facing this country." He also says the idea that a letter from Coretta Scott King could not be presented and spoken about on Senate floor is "incomprehensible." Watch full Senate session here: http://cs.pn/2k0mAvn

1. The dynamic duo!

*BIFF* (down goes a Jim Crow bigot) *BLAM* (down goes a Miami kleptocrat) *KAPOW* (down goes the sanctimonious son-in-law of a drug trafficker) ...

Thank you, Senator Sanders

4. Go, Bernie!

Why did no one object to him putting the letter in the Congressional record and tell him to sit down. Think there is some sexism at work here? Like the women of this country weren't fired up enough! FIRED UP! READY TO GO!

5. McTurtle Knew That Chastising One Liberal Firebrand Would Be OK

But if he treated every Democrat who stood up and read the letter like he treated Warren, that would be seen as overly vindictive. He maneuvered the fine line between snarkily shitting on the senator that his base didn't like and punishing all of them.

I gotta say, I'm proud of every Democratic and Independent senator who stood up and read the letter after Turtie McTurtleface ordered her to sit down and stfu.
