Liberals are so thrilled with Sally Yates’ testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday that they are aggressively complimenting her through tweets and TV appearances.
California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters called Yates an “accomplished woman” while MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin tweeted, “seeing a lot of calls tonight for Sally Yates to run for office.”
Sens. Cornyn & Cruz’s attempts to berate #SallyYates over unlawful travel bans were pathetic. They are no match for an accomplished woman!
