Four years ago tonight, Mitch McConnell silenced me for reading Coretta Scott King’s letter. But remember this: every Republican in the chamber that night voted to shut me up. And every Republican voted for Trump’s AG who was too racist to become a judge in the 1980s.
Review:
Sen Warren was not silenced for reading King?s letter, she was silenced for breaking Senate Rule 19: "no Senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator."
