Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) revealed in an interview Friday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) will not acknowledge or say hello to her when they cross paths.
Warren spoke with the Boston Globe to discuss her new book, This Fight Is Our Fight: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class.
The paper noted that Warren's 11th book lacks any details on potential plans to run for president and any discussion of Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 presidential campaign, which considered Warren as a possible vice presidential pick.
"She dispatches her decision not to run for president in little more than a page," the Globe said of Warren's new book. "She forgoes any autopsy of what Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party got wrong. She doesn't even mention meeting with Clinton in Washington to discuss her prospects for joining the ticket as Clinton's vice presidential pick."
The Globe also described how Warren avoided critiquing the Democratic Party throughout the interview.
"Pressed on why she doesn't use the opportunity of a well-timed book to offer a sharper critique of the Democratic Party, Warren's answer is, essentially: Circular firing squads aren't very productive."
Warren was later asked by the newspaper about McConnell, who famously said, "Nevertheless, she persisted," after Senate Republicans in February invoked a Senate rule to silence the Massachusetts senator during debate over the nomination of Jeff Sessions to be attorney general. Warren had castigated Sessions on the Senate floor, which McConnell said violated a chamber rule to not attack fellow lawmakers.
"I've spoken to him, but he has not spoken to me," Warren told the Globe while laughing and shaking her head. "I say hello to Mitch every chance I get, and he turns his head."
