Elizabeth Warren says Mitch McConnell refuses to speak to her
2017-04-17
Oh dear -- the cut direct. Has she considered joining a monastery?
[WashingtonExaminer] Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., says she takes every opportunity to say hello to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., but he has refused to speak with her since her notorious February battle with Republicans over the nomination of Jeff Sessions to be attorney general.

"The progressive senator spoke about her experience with McConnell in an interview with the Boston Globe, while promoting her upcoming book "This Fight Is Our Fight." The book reportedly ends right before Republicans voted to silence her during the debate over Sessions nomination. A move that was backed by McConnell.

The action gained nationwide attention, resulting in an outpouring of support for Warren. According to Warren, hard feelings led McConnell to stop speaking with her."

'I've spoken to him, but he has not spoken to me," Warren said. "I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head."

#16  Actually, I'll take "post-Shakespearean, but rather the Elizabethan to modern definitions" for 50 Pappy.

#15  She'd be better suited for a nunnery (in the Shakespearean sense of the term.)

Nobody'd want her.

#14  Actually, Sen. McConnell has been replying in Indian sign language.

#10  If he did speak to her, she'd then complain that he speaks with forked tongue.

#9  THIS IS FUNNY BECAUSE SOME RIGHT-LEANING FORMER LAWPROF COLLEAGUES OF WARREN’S SAY THE SAME ABOUT HER: Elizabeth Warren Says Mitch McConnell Won’t Even Say Hello To Her. And frankly, ignoring Elizabeth Warren seems like a good use of one’s time.

#6  If he did say "Good morning!" she would probably file sexual harrasment charges against him.

#3  The first job of a politician is to be likeable and get along with everyone. Warren must be unusually vile.

#2  If she wasn't such an arrogant self-righteous harpy, she might consider herself in the wrong and apologize to Mitch for breaking Senate rules.
