Showing Original Post only (View all)Why The Words She Persisted Are Going To Haunt Mitch McConnell [View all]

Our current Republican Senators are so drunk with power that they thought it was a good idea to rebuke Elizabeth Warren for quoting Coretta Scott King.
How distorted is their vision now that they believe they can appoint people with racist backgrounds to the highest levels of government without reprisal? That they can vote to silence the voice of a Civil Rights icon like Warren and that the people would just let that slide? That Warren and that we would just cower away quietly while they make racism great again in America?
Well, thats clearly not going to happen. By voting to formally rebuke Warren with the obscure Rule 19, they have enraged millions of people who are now clear that Senate Republicans are the ones who need to be rebuked at the very least. The People are loudly questioning the motives and conduct of our Republican Senators today, and we will not be silent. In fact, McConnells own words are being used to illustrate that exact thing.Mitch McConnell Receives Rebuke From Coretta Scott King And We The People
Coretta Scott Kings words will be amplified today because of what they did. Republicans were conceited enough to quiet Warren while allowing two of her male colleagues to read Corettas letter, adding more fuel to the epic backlash.
For all the women they tried to silence
