(D-MA) was sent back to her seat, saying that it was a political mistake for Republicans to do what they did. If only they had left it alone and let her do her thing, she wouldn’t have become the ‘hero’ that she is today.
Then, we find out that she’s got a book scheduled to be published in April, and her senate ‘martyrdom’ has only helped bring attention to herself and her book. Also, her poll numbers weren’t doing so well in her home state of Massachusetts, so maybe this episode of righteous indignation will make her more popular. Of course, it could also backfire.
While Warren piously invoked Coretta Scott King’s words in her judgment of Senator Jeff Sessions, one member of the King family the left wouldn’t dare consider consulting is Alveda King – Martin Luther King’s niece. They won’t talk to her, because she’s pro-life, and she’s not a race-baiter.
