Two Crazy things Congress did over the last 24 hours.

In a span of 24 hours, the Republican-led Congress did two crazy things that call their views towards women and minorities into serious question.

First, in the debate over the confirmation of Senator Jeff Sessions to become Attorney General, Senator Elizabeth Warren was rebuked by Senator Mitch McConnell in a seldom utilized Senate Rule that forbids chastising a fellow member. What made this very interesting is that when male Democratic Senators made the same objections and citing the same sources as Senator Warren, no one invoked that rule.

Second and the link for this issue is below, House Republicans refused to consider a motion that reiterated the historically known fact that the Holocaust targeted Jews. This is clearly nonsensical on the part of House Leadership and they should be sharply ridiculed for this. To not acknowledge the groups that were targeted during the Holocaust after the neutral statement by the White House several days ago is spitting on the memory all the groups that make up the 12 million that perished.
