Warren appealed a ruling from the Senate’s presiding officer at the time, Steve Daines of Montana, that she must take a seat. Hatch said it was “offensive” to him to see a fellow senator attacked on the Senate floor, referring to Sessions. He questioned why they couldn’t simply allow a reading of a letter from Martin Luther King Jr.’s wife. Warren later posted a Facebook Live video of herself reading King’s letter outside the Senate chamber. King’s characterization of then U.S. Attorney Senator Sessions was accurate in 1986 and it is accurate now.
