Coretta Scott King spoke out against now- Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) when he was nominated for a federal judgeship in 1986. But if she were alive to see him nominated for Attorney General, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer hopes she would have changed her mind.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, waits to participate in a television interview in the Russell Senate Office building rotunda in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2017. Warren was reading from a 1986 letter attacking Sessions by Coretta Scott King late Tuesday when Republicans invoked a little-used rule to prevent her from continuing. Warren quickly posted a Facebook video with her reading the letter outside the Senate chamber late Tuesday night that drew more than 6.5 million views by midmorning.
