Bernice King is here with a history lesson.
My mother left her mark. Women and girls, and all of humanity, are better for it.
He should have it memorized by now.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Noah asks, "Do you think Mitch McConnell realized what a solid he's done you?"
But he says Mitch McConnell was right to silence Elizabeth Warren. Because she quoted Ted Kennedy.
Coretta Scott King spoke out against now- Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) when he was nominated for a federal judgeship in 1986. But if she were alive to see him nominated for Attorney General, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer hopes she would have changed her mind.
It is alarming, but sadly not surprising, that Republicans in the Senate took offense to the contents of Coretta Scott King’s letter, but not to the concerns that moved her to write it.
McConnell’s attempt to keep Warren quiet has now inspired a nation to speak.
But when Elizabeth Warren tried, Republicans said she was impugning a colleague and made her sit down.
