Senate Republicans made themselves look like asses. They were given an explanation. Nevertheless, they persisted.

.@JohnCornyn on shutting down @elizabethforma: "I would hope that maybe we all have been chastened a little bit"
— Cameron Joseph (@cam_joseph) February 8, 2017
“Do you feel bad, little lady? Are you sorry for what you did? Here—just in case you aren’t, I’m going to patronize and bore you into submission.”
“We all” obviously haven’t “been chastened a little bit,” because Cornyn delivered that gem of a line in the middle of a lecture about why Senate Republicans were right to silence Elizabeth Warren for reading Coretta Scott King’s letter opposing Jeff Sessions. It seems an awful lot like Cornyn is trying to “chasten” Warren all over again by droning on about this when Warren is not even allowed to participate in Senate debate. Actually, make that: Cornyn is trying to chasten all Democrats:
We’re at a pretty challenging time in our nation’s history when many people who were surprised and disappointed at the last election are unwilling to accept the results of that election and the verdict of the American people.
The technical results of that election and the verdict of the American people were two different things, which is sort of the problem.
