McConnell shuts down Warren for reading Corretta Scott King letter

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Congratulations, Republicans.  You managed to tell a woman to shut up and a black person to sit in the back of the bus at the same time!  A new achievement.

I'm not familiar with the exact language of the rule and so will not take a position on whether she broke it. If she indeed break it though, then it was right to silence her. Perhaps the rule needs to be changed, but while it remains on the books, it should be enforced, as should all other senate and house rules.

In other words, you can't say things that might hurt someone's feelings.  In which case, maybe senators shouldn't be eligible for cabinet positions because speaking honestly about them is too mean.

The real explanation is that there's something about Elizabeth Warren that Republicans can't stand.

Democrats see her as very charismatic, personable, and inspirational.

Republicans always complain about how she's the opposite of charismatic and how they just hate her very voice and how she says things in addition to what she says.

I think it's pretty obvious there were sexist connotations here despite the fact that it was partisan maneuvering.  And part of it probably was meant as some form of retaliation for the women's march.  Telling women and minorities to shut up and "take their seat" is practically a national sport in this country and that's the way it's always been.  You don't have to be an 'SJW' or a snowflake or whatever to acknowledge that fact.

Elizabeth Warren is too nasty and Coretta Scott King was too uppity.  That's a dangerous combination for some people.
