… Maybe you can help me understand this argument, people say opposition to [Treasury Undersecretary for Domestic Finance nominee Antonio] Weiss is unreasonable because, wait for it, he likes poetry,” Warren said. “I’m actually not kidding on this one.

It’s simply not done. She’s a senator for goodness sake. What part of “advise and consent” does she not understand? (“Consent”, Senator. “Consent.” Don’t be a such a buzzkill.)
