In fact from a freedom of speech standpoint, what happened to Senator Warren was FAR WORSE than what happened to Milo.
He was removed out of safety concerns, otherwise he would have spoken.
She was stopped mid-sentence by the senate majority leader of the United States because republicans didnt want to confront the words of a civil rights leader.
Haha bunch wanker hypocrites. You cry all week about whatshisface unable to speak at Berkeley but CELEBRATE a US Senator being silenced/ censored in chamber for frivolous reasons.
This is an outlandish DISGRACE.
Those black clad anarchists might serve a noble purpose after all.
Both the Senate and the House have rules governing what members can say about fellow members and potential appointees, generally revolving around personal attacks, and Sessions is still a member. Call them the Terms of Service.
If you noticed when one of them wants to disagree vehemently, or not, with another member they'll preface it with "The honorable gentleman/woman from _________".
Warren broke one of those rules. She's also not the first Senator to be silenced using the rule.

She wasnt expelled from the senate and you may grouse to your heart's delight about rules but ultimately this is total hupocrisy on the part of Mitch McConnell and those of you who ******d and moaned about Milo but now think what happened to Warren is acceptable.
The Constitution gives Congress the power to determine its own rules and procedures. Expect to get sanctioned if you don't follow them.
Not surprisingly, OP sides against the Constitution.
