Right before Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) took to the Senate floor on Tuesday night to read Coretta Scott King's 1986 letter to oppose Jeff Sessions for attorney general, her publishing company tweeted out the release date of her new book, This Fight Is Our Fight.

Warren had previously said she opposed President Trump's nominee to head the Justice Department, but she did not forcefully mount her campaign against the Alabama senator until after publisher Henry Holt announced Tuesday at 3:09 p.m. that her book will be coming out on April 18.

Just announced! Elizabeth Warren's new book, THIS FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT, is on-sale on April 18th.
— Henry Holt (@HenryHolt) February 7, 2017

About 90 minutes later, Warren shared the link to pre-order her book on Facebook, the Daily Caller News Foundation noted.

Three hours later, Warren was ordered to stand down on the Senate floor because she impugned Sessions' character in violation of Senate Rule 19, which states that senators are not allowed to "directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another senator or to other senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator."

Warren had called Sessions a "disgrace," said his confirmation to attorney general would be an "insult to African Americans," and read a 1986 letter from King that accused Sessions of using "the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and other Senate Republicans invoked Rule 19 to bar her from speaking on the Senate floor on Sessions' nomination until after the vote occurred. (The Senate confirmed Sessions to become the next attorney general on Wednesday night.)

Around 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday, hours after the incident on the Senate floor, Warren sent an email to supporters soliciting donations, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported Wednesday evening. The email explained what happened that night and included a donation button.

Minutes after sending her email to supporters, Warren called CNN's Don Lemon to discuss the incident on television.

MoveOn members contributed $250,000 to Warren's re-election campaign in about 12 hours, CNN reported.

Warren received an enormous amount of publicity after she violated Rule 19, which included a trending hashtag #LetLizSpeak on Twitter. Even McConnell's statement on why he invoked Rule 19 against Warren left her with a new hashtag.

"She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted," McConnell said, sparking #ShePersisted to appear throughout Twitter, often accompanied with pictures of historic female figures (and Princess Leia).

“She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted." #ShePersists

Warren later unleashed a Twitter storm once Sessions was confirmed on Wednesday, sending out eight tweets that ended with: "Consider this MY warning: We won't be silent. We will speak out. And we WILL persist."

I'm ecstatic that this was posted and that Warren was schooled by DeVos
>>
I don't get it. What am I supposed to be outraged about? That she wrote a book?
>>
>>109806

It shows that her intetions to bait such a response during the congressional meeting had intentions of delibrately causing such a reaction to promote herself as a victim. Textbook shit that dems have been doing forever.

Bullshit assumptions and flawed reasoning are not news.
Reading the letter was a perfectly reasonable and relevant thing to do regardless of whether she had a book or not.
Looks like you are grabbing at straws to justify you bias.

in·tent
noun
1.
intention or purpose.
"with alarm she realized his intent"
synonyms: aim, intention, purpose, objective, object, goal, target; More

"In criminal law, intent is one of three general classes of mens rea necessary to constitute a conventional, as opposed to strict liability, crime. A more formal, generally synonymous legal term is scienter: intent or knowledge of wrongdoing".

You're saying that the intent of her intentions was to create a controversy in order to be played as a victim, therefore gaining sympathy, therefore inciting people to buy her shitty book. You have to say this, ignoring previous examples of her being a SJW, and previous examples using actions this for political gain, which puts giant holes into your claim. You're seeing what you want to see here, champ.

Mostly this; I dislike Warren greatly for being a corporatist shill, and one could debate legislative statutes of reading such old, alleging letters, but this simply wasn't it.

I would agree that the OP is grasping at straws.

>Promote book
>Act "outraged" during senate session
>Rake in $250k in donations after publicity from "outrage"

>Reading the letter was a perfectly reasonable and relevant thing to do regardless of whether she had a book or not.
It was the dying gasp of someone who knew they were in the wrong and were trying to tug heartstrings by going to "muh civil rights", as if the guy you were screeching about didn't drive the KKK out of Alabama and receive an acknowledgement from the author of the letter you were reading that the Rosa Parks library wouldn't have been possible without his support.

Warren is god damned con artist like the rest of the left and and people continuously fall for her cheaply marketed garbage because it's emotionally validating. Junkies.
