In an interview with Axios on Thursday, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts spoke out against the legislative filibuster, saying that it “has deep roots in racism” and was not an original idea of the founding fathers. Her comments come as progressive Democrats push harder to get rid of the Senate tradition.
Warren said, “The filibuster has deep roots in racism, and it should not be permitted to serve that function, or to create a veto for the minority. In a democracy, it’s majority rules.”
