Elizabeth Warren, who ended her presidential run yesterday, gave a GREAT interview on Rachel Maddow yesterday in which she offered inspiring reasons for women not to give up hope of attaining the presidency, while also calling out Sanders for not doing enough to curb some of the venomous assholes who support him.
