Elizabeth Warren tweet:



Text

Four years ago tonight, Mitch McConnell silenced me on the Senate floor because I tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King.

He was trying to tell an entire movement to sit down and shut up.

Nevertheless, we persisted.

And now, he doesn’t get to call the shots anymore.

Elizabeth and all others that ran for president and didn't make it....they all seem happy and helpful to the Democratic cause. When Trump lost in Iowa in 2016, he went on a rampage. And of course look at him now. He's attacking the republicans. What a contrast.

As soon as Joe was named the 'candidate' the party rallied around him (some quicker than others) and there are no sore losers out there throwing garbage at Joe.

UNITED we win!!!

Mitch probably wanted to send Warren to the back of the floor. WTF does Tim Scott think on that side of the aisle?

McConnell is responsible for the problems in this country in some ways even more than Trump.

He's always playing mind games. Immature mind games. Like a 10-year-old.
He would NEVER vote to impeach Trump.

The day he speaks his last word, takes his last breath of Senate air will be a great day. What cemented him in personal pantheon of vile agents was the day he said their priority was going to be making sure that President Obama was a one-term president.

Sing it until the Republicans cup their ears and go screaming from the chambers.

Just in case they forget.

and deserves a serious answer.

They are still in office because, in their home states, more voters agree with them than aagree with us.
