Scott Brown Gets Testy During Debate With Elizabeth Warren: ‘Excuse Me, I’m Not a Student in Your Classroom’

Scott Brown to Elizabeth Warren During Debate: Excuse Me, Im Not a Student in Your Classroom

Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, left, and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren, right, listen to moderator David Gregory during a debate sponsored by the Boston Herald at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, Mass., Monday, Oct. 1, 2012. (Credit: AP)

The second Massachusetts Senate debate between Sen. Scott Brown and Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren was both contentious at times and down right testy at others.

At one point, Warren accused Brown of voting in “lockstep” against bills that she thought were important. Brown was then given a chance to respond to her allegations.

“She’s obviously misstating the facts. These were rejected by both Democrats and Republicans, professor,” he began. “If we are going to comment on my record I would at least have you refer–”

As Warren tried to interrupt him during his answer, a frustrated Brown quipped: “Excuse me, I’m not a student in your classroom, please let me respond.”

The crowd erupted in a loud “ohhh.”

Watch a portion of Monday’s Massachusetts Senate debate below:

In his first debate with Warren, Brown slammed the Ivy League professor for “checking the box,” referring to her Native American heritage claims that she is now routinely mocked for after they turned out to be false. Critics argue that by claiming minority status, Warren unfairly got ahead when she applied for positions at Harvard and University of Pennsylvania. However, Warren says her employers weren’t aware of her heritage claims until long after she was hired.

      Yeah Brown should have walked in with buttless chaps to remind us how he was all about the poontang in his Playgirl days before he posted bikini pics of his daughters to Try to pick up votes.

      The ole’ battle-axe Jane Hathaway-Warren
      always knows what’s best for the common peons, peasants & their money.
      Gawd, she has so much in common with Sandrag Fluke.

      Can you even imagine having these 2 squawk boxes, as your neighbors ?
      If you wouldn’t want them as your neighbor,
      with or without a 7 ft. fence,
      then, suffice to say-
      you wouldn’t want them, as public servants.

      Remember that, when you go to vote, folks,
      they ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS.
      Once in office, they tend to think of their constituents,
      as public coffers & quickly forget their duty.

      Jane Hathaway-Warren reminds me
      of that woman in the neighborhood, with the flappin’, sausage arms,
      who would answer the door on Halloween
      with a big plastic bowl of popcorn
      & then, proceed to stick her big, clammy paw in the bowl
      & fling a loose handful into our brown paper Loblaws sack.

      It always smelled like she popped that corn in 5-yr.old, putrid, bacon grease
      & though it settled to the bottom of our bags,
      it stunk up EVERY Nestle Crunch bar & Bit O’ Honey, in between.

      After a couple years of the Popcorn Lady’s abuse,
      we, little kids learned to skip her house, entirely-
      even though her pumpkins were carved & her porch light lit.

      As adults, we have to do the same with the hoodlum politicians
      & nefarious nincompoopers-
      ignore them, bypass them, don’t vote for them !

      Remember, they should respect their job, as Public Servants-
      not act like Public Offenders !

      Before seeing your post, my first thought was, “when pigs fly” and this Warren woman is a liar. If she had any american indian in her, it’s so watered down. Again, she reminds me of Ward Churchill who got his job with a college by saying he was American Indian, and he wasn’t really enough to even count.

      He lied, and finally lost his job, she’s a liar and should lose everything she gained from claiming she was Indian, taking away the opportunity for a true Indian heritage person who could have made a good teacher. This woman, warren, is a liar, and anyone who votes for her is helping her continue her lies. I hate blatant liars and hope she’s exposed for who she really is.

    Good for him! You know, for years I would be in a conference room with fellow employees who acted elitist, pompous, unrealistic, untruthful, had a chicken heart when in the presence of a CEO, and usually under informed. Oh and they like to falsely demean people.

    I never thought about their political affiliation. In the last few years either directly or by other’s comments I have identified that some of these people are staunch liberals. Once I made the connection, the light of Ronald Reagan flared in my heart, and I DO NOT take any Elizabeth “I want to be Native American” Warren treatment anymore. I am mad at myself for cowering before.

    If I am speaking the truth, my facts are in a row, they don’t stand a chance these days.

    Way to go Mr. Brown.

      ANYONE who votes to allow this COMMUNIST MUSLIM to continue his rape of America via putting DEM Senators in office need to take full responsibility for what happens to AMERICA after this election.
      ANYONE who votes to allow his COMMUNIST MUSLIMS all over his Cabinet and in his office USING OUR MONEY like it was their own – totally illegally – like what was reported TODAY. OBAMA is telling Corporations to “BREAK THE LAW” and not give proper notice for laying off people and “don’t worry – We’ll pay your legal fees” TRYING TO STOP ANY LAYOFFS BEFORE THE ELECTIONS.
      PEOPLE????? HELLO OUT THERE????? ANYONE HOME?????? DON’T you see what is going on? SO no, Elizabeth Warren who has and will NEVER be able to answer the simple question:
      WHY ISN’T EVERYONE RICH, SINCE THE ONES WHO ARE USED THE ROADS/SCHOOLS ALL OF US BUILT? Elizabeth Warren is an evil, conniving, sneaky, PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE witch.

Mass will eat up a BS story from any politician so Brown’s tactic must be that this hack Warren is not going to do squat for the people and how she’s actually nuts.

    The woman is certifiable. After she loses the election she should be checked into a govt. run psych facility. The govt. looks after every need there.

    The Left expects ALL …. and I do mean, ALL problems to be solved by government.

    Most of these problems should be dealt with by groups in the Salvation Army, WMCA, church groups and individuals. We have turned much of it over to government. Government is not my church. There’s a huge danger in destroying our separation of church and state. You allow the state to become your church, then you create a King and Pope all wrapped up in one guy. The Left won’t be ever satisfied until they have it all. And the lies from the Left, you have to be stupid not to see all the lies from the Left. Sure the Right sometimes lies but nothing compared to the lies from the Left.

      She definitely talks down to other people like many professors I’ve studied from in the past. The worst professors usually are the same ones that wrote their own book as required text and insist that you must hang onto their every word. And since they have a captive audience they often start the class off by going into a political rant that is generally full of leftist ideology.
