Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell when trying to explain why he shut down Senator Warren telling her she was no longer allowed to speak on the congressional floor he said. "Senator Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted." It is now a rallying cry for all women to stand up and make their voices heard. Persist, even when they refuse to hear you.
