The words were those of Coretta Scott King, widow of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

But they resulted in a rarely invoked Senate rule being used to formally silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

On the Senate floor Tuesday, Warren began reading from a letter Scott King wrote in 1986 objecting to President Reagan’s ultimately unsuccessful nomination of then-U.S. Attorney Jeff Sessions to a federal district court seat.

Now-Sen. Sessions, R-Ala., is President Trump’s nominee for U.S. attorney general. Warren was speaking in the debate leading up to Sessions’ likely confirmation by the Senate Wednesday.

Holy… Anyone reblogging this believing that shit is tarnishing Coretta’s name… Y’all really choose to believe this complete fuckery when all it takes is a drop of common sense or a two second google search to tell you how important Coretta was to the feminist movement?! If you seriously believe she was nothing but a pretty woman on MLK Jr’s arm you need to spend the next 365 days at a library and educate your damn selves… This is so disturbing

what kind of misogynist patriarchal tea
