Sen. Elizabeth Warren is Tahongnot someone who agrees to be shut down and put in a corner.
After she was silenced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the rest of Senate Republicans for impugning a fellow senator's character, Warren took to Facebook Live to finish her remarks.
SEE ALSO: After Elizabeth Warren is shut down, people demand Senate #LetLizSpeakFrom outside the Senate floor, she read a letter from the late Coretta Scott King, widow of Martin Luther King, opposing Sen. Jeff Sessions for a federal judgeship in 1986. Sessions is President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney general.
“Tonight I wanted to read that letter, and Sen. Mitch McConnell and Republicans came to the floor to shut me down for reading that letter,” Warren said in the live stream.
“So right now what I’d like to do outside the Senate, I just want to read the letter.”
King's widow wrote at the time: “Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters."
At the time of writing, Warren's live video has attracted 3.3 million views, 262,000 "likes" and nearly 80,000 shares.
Sen. Jeff Merkley later managed to read the same letter on the Senate floor.
The Republicans' move outraged Democrats on social media and triggered the hashtag #LetLizSpeak on Twitter.
