Warren, herself, took to Twitter to cheekily talk about the experience, with an invite to _TMZ_ to “keep up!” Here are some of the reactions. > [](https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1110368702996926464) > [](https://twitter.com/elorasharon/status/1110568248972582919) > [](https://twitter.com/mrvndn/status/1110376921534062592) ## Transcript Marie Kondo or embrace the mess ? >> Oh, Marie Kondo . >> You favorite feminist icon, living or dead ? >> [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Frances Perkins.
