17 Elizabeth Warren Memes To Share On Social Media

"She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted." By now, millions of women are familiar with the words Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell used to silence Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren during debate on Sen. Jeff Sessions' attorney general nomination. But while Republicans may have been hoping to keep Warren's message from getting out, their move to shush her has served only to amplify her voice. In fact, McConnell's words have become a powerful rallying, inspiring dozens of tributes to the outspoken Sen. Warren.

McConnell led Senate Republicans Feb. 7 in barring Sen. Warren from reading a letter written some 30 years earlier by activist Coretta Scott King, the widow of famed civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., which outlined King's opposition of Sessions' nomination to a federal judgeship. McConnell accused Warren of violating Senate rules that prohibit senators from impugning another member and barred her from participating in floor debate on Session's nomination.

While McConnell argued he was simply enforcing Senate Rule 19, many women saw what happened in the Senate on Feb. 7 as a textbook example of men moving to keep women silent. Since McConnell's words have become a powerful rallying cry for Sen. Warren and her supporters.
