## Transcript

In my view, it was totally, totally uncalled for. Senator Warren wasn't hurling wild accusations, she was reading a thoughtful and considered letter from a leading civil rights figure. Mr. President, anyone who watches the Senate floor on a daily basis. Could tell you that what happened last night was the most selective enforcement of Rule 19. The idea that a letter and a statement made by Coretta Scott King, the widow of Martin Luther King Jr ., at the United States, a letter that she wrote Could not be presented and spoken about here on the floor of the Senate is to me incomprehensible. Senator Elizabeth Warren, one of our leading senators, was denied the right to read that letter to inform fellow senators and the American people.

I think leader McConnell. owe Senator Warren an apology, and I believe it is unconscionable, and outrageous, that Senator Warren not be allowed to participate in the discussion about whether Jeff Sessions becomes our next attorney general.
