Nevertheless, Kamala Harris Persisted: Senator Told to Pipe Down, Twitter Goes Wild

During Senate Intelligence Committee questioning Wednesday about whether Donald Trump has intervened in ongoing investigations about Russia’s involvement in the United States 2016 presidential campaign, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had a terse exchange with the committee’s chair, Richard Burr (R-NC).
Harris, the only woman of color and California’s former attorney general, was interrupted first by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and then told by Burr to “provide the witnesses the courtesy, which has not been extended, fully across, for questions to get answered.” Harris tried to explain that she was worried Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who she was currently questioning, might try to filibuster. Burr cut her off again and encouraged Rosenstein to speak.
Earlier this year, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was similarly chastised by a male colleague when she was trying to speak. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said, “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted,” a now infamous line used as a symbol of female empowerment.

YES, PLEEEEEZ! !
We strap on our dicks and when we end up in this situations like this we strap it on say " do you fucking see the size of this, LOOK At IT, don't make me.............. " I need to leave it there 
Some times I think the GOP's calendar is off by several hundred years.

She's a woman
she is black
she is from CA
she is a Dem
not giving credence to it at all, you misinterpreted my post.
They are using sexism, racism, where she's from and being democrat against her.
Your may say semantics, but consider differences:
They were chastising her questioning, as if she needed correction about the questions she asked. They're her questions, she can ask them as she deems so.
VS
She has 4 things against her
She's a woman
she is black
she is from CA
she is a Dem
You placed in your statement the onus on her sex, her skin color, her origin, and political party.
Place the emphasis on what you mean, especially when choosing brevity. Keep the focus on their inappropriate actions. Yes, it takes more space.
My intent here is informational; I figure you don't see it differently.
I'm fucking done with this nonsense. When they can't even pretend to respect women when the cameras are on, wtf is going on behind closed doors? Fuck these assholes. They need to go. 
from a bunch of sexist, emboldened racists who feel they have their plantation back and their slaves.....donald the twit gave them that notion and I'm sure bannon is whispering that in every republiKKKan ear he talks to. I just wish one senator of the Democratic Party would tell these assholes to go f*** themselves, literally.
