Hillary Clinton took to Twitter to weigh after Senate Republicans blocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) from speaking on the Senate floor.

Clinton's tweet quoted a line from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that has been widely shared since he led Republicans in a party line vote to block a Tuesday night speech from Warren on the floor.

"She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted,'" Clinton quoted McConnell in her tweet. "So must we all."

1. Awful move by the GOP

If McConnell never silenced Warren, nobody would have heard about this. Now, Coretta Scott King's words are get the national spotlight, exactly the opposite of what the GOP wanted. Good to see Democrats all standing together in defiance.
