The Lady Doth Persist Too Much
Who’d have guessed that Mitch McConnell would come up with the ultimate quote for the resistance? Well, he may have done just that when he used a somewhat obscure rule to shut down Elizabeth Warren as she read from Coretta Scott King’s letter criticizing Jeff Sessions. The words he used almost immediately went viral: “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” And the King letter went viral as well. It all seemed like a weird move given that Sessions is almost certain to be confirmed anyway.
