Warren Persists Again - Goes After Trump and Commerce Nominee, Cites Secret Society

Oh, you all are going to love this one. It's Senator Elizabeth Warren persisting again and going after Trump's Commerce Secretary nominee Wilbur Ross for everything from -- you guessed it! -- shady Russia ties to being head of a secret Wall Street fraternity that "... gathers every year to get drunk and... make fun of the millions of Americans they've swindled over the years."

Mitch McConnell must have been itching to jump up and "warn" her again. Story here with full video of the floor speech.

This speech is all about the Commerce Secretary Nominee but in reality her speech could pertain to all of Trump's nominees

Ross is not a sitting Senator, so she was not in violation of any arcane "rules" of the Senate.
