Elizabeth Warren Says Mitch McConnell Wont Even Say Hello To Her

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has apparently been ignoring Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) since moving to silence her on the Senate floor in February, Warren told The Boston Globe.

McConnell cut Warren off in February as she tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King during a speech on the Senate floor, explaining her opposition to Jeff Session’s nomination to be attorney general. McConnell invoked a little-used rule that blocks senators “by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.”

Even though Sessions was eventually confirmed and two months have passed since the incident, the relationship between the two senators still remains frosty.

“I’ve spoken to him, but he has not spoken to me,” Warren told the Globe in an interview published Saturday. “I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head.”

McConnell's spokesperson had no comment about Warren, or of the recent viral video of Mitch dry-humping a Croc.

Warren should make weekly visits to read him Coretta Scott King's letter, in full, twenty times, with a guard standing over Mitchy to make sure he doesn't open his mouth.

I need to buy that boy some readers.

Re: Mitch McConnell. He is a classless piece of hypocritical garbage that doesn't deserve to hold any office in this land. No great loss EW. Carry on doing your great job against his tyranny of evil!

And my contempt grows by the minute.

He blocked the SCOTUS because he knew about the election Cyber War as did his pal Ghouliani.

They were all colluding and will serve serious time sooner than later.

Watch when he starts begging for a deal.

Give him SFA.

Every time she sees him she needs to put on her biggest smile and engage him in conversation. EVERYTIME.

And if there are cameras around she needs to lay it on thick.

I have learned over the years that when someone treats me like that it is because they know that I know that they are pondscum. The nicer she is to him the more she is rubbing shit into his wound.

...by avoiding encounters he also avoids comparisons in which he's not going to fare well.

16. Actually, Elizabeth, it's better to treat him with contempt. I wouldn't say "hello" to him.

He is working to destroy the US constitution. That should make him persona non grata.
