Cool, Gutsy Sally Yates Is The New Queen Of The Twitterverse

Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates’ testimony before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee transfixed America on Monday, and Twitter erupted in praise for her unshakeable defense of the law, her unwavering moral compass — and especially her deft takedown of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Tweets praised Yates’ straightforward, clear-eyed recounting of her alerts to the Trump administration that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn could be vulnerable to blackmail by the Kremlin because of his talks with Russian officials — and her decision that Donald Trump’s first travel ban was unlawful.
