Marco Rubio took to the floor of the Senate to defend the action that was taken last night against Chief Liz ‘Running-Mouth’ Warren and explain why it was necessary to do so. It’s really a great speech and you don’t have to listen to the whole thing to get his point:

Here’s a few great excerpts:
I want people to think about our politics here in America, because I’m telling you guys that I don’t know of a single nation in this history of the world that’s been able to solve its problems when half the people in the country absolutely hate the other half of the people in that country. This is the most important country in the word, and people in this body cannot function if people are offending one another and that’s why those rules are in place.
“Turn on the news and watch these parliaments around the world where people throw chairs at each other. And punches. And ask yourself how that makes you feel about those countries. Doesn’t give you a lot of confidence about those countries.
Now I’m not arguing that we’re anywhere near that here tonight, but we’re flirting with it. We’re flirting with it in this body and we’re flirting with it in this country. We have become a society incapable of having debates anymore.
The media and Democrats are rallying around Warren today to make her seem like a victim of the hateful and mean Republicans. But Marco Rubio puts an entirely different perspective on what happened last night and one that everyone needs to hear, because he’s right.
