Twitter on Mitch McConnell's Silencing of Elizabeth Warren and Coretta Scott King: "We Are Losing Our Democracy"

I will not be silent about a nominee for AG who has made derogatory & racist comments that have no place in our justice system.

Here are the 21 words from civil rights icon Coretta Scott King the GOP does not want you to hear.

Stunning moment: Elizabeth Warren silenced by McConnell on the Senate floor for speaking out against Sessions' confirmation. pic.twitter.com/g3GBBOTEn9

Notice that the GOP has gone after two civil rights icons in the last month:

1) John Lewis
2) Coretta Scott King

This is deliberate.

Think about it: Senator Warren was silenced in the U.S. Senate for reading the words of Coretta Scott King. We are losing our democracy.

GOP is angry someone read a letter saying Sessions stopped black people from voting but not angry Sessions stopped black people from voting.

So a Kentucky racist shuts down the words of a dead civil rights icon to defend an Alabama racist. Nice visuals, GOP. https://t.co/UOLF3yXoUD
