On Wednesday’s Hardball, MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews decried Republican silencing of Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) for breaking Senate rules as “brutal” and “stupid politics” because “people are going to rally to her and say she’s got spunk” for Democrats to defeat President Trump.
Right off the top, Matthews informed viewers that Hardball was airing as the Senate “begins to vote on the confirmation of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions for Attorney General” a day “after the brutal silencing last night of a Senator, Elizabeth Warren.”
