WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats say Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell unfairly rebuked Sen. Elizabeth Warren for quoting a 30-year-old letter written by Coretta Scott King about then-judicial nominee Jeff Sessions. Warren's reading came during debate over the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general. Warren, who was accused of impugning Sessions, was forced to take her seat and is now barred from speaking about the nomination. Democrats say McConnell didn't object when Sen. Ted Cruz called him "a liar" in a 2015 dustup.
