As we told you Wednesday, the Democrats’ “Women’s Health Protection Act” was prevented from moving forward after a 51-49 vote in which Dem Sen. Joe Manchin joined Republicans to kill the bill.
After the vote, Sen. Elizabeth Warren complained about “minority rule”:
.@SenWarren: "I believe in democracy, and I don't believe the minority should have the ability to block things that the majority wants to do. That's not in the Constitution. […] It's time to get rid of the filibuster." https://t.co/2tBTIfvv2q pic.twitter.com/UwZuKxrotg

Um, who wants to tell her?
The bill only received 49 votes. That's a minority. Raju stands there and lets her get away with this. https://t.co/A3OCnVuCPi

A reporter let Warren get away with that claim unchallenged? No way!
The bill didn't have majority support, you halfwit.
51 opposed it.— Titan (@BOOB_level) May 11, 2022
Minority?
You. Didn’t. Even. Have. Fifty. Votes.

Warren’s clearly hoping the clueless Democrat base will agree and make a lot of noise based on total BS. The media will no doubt assist Warren in that effort.
"majority" is a funny word to use to describe a 49-51 vote. https://t.co/NmjY9avwbM

And yet Warren will keep doing it and the media won’t exactly go out of its way to point out what should be obvious.
