Brown, who famously coined the phrase “the People’s Seat” in the 2010 debate, got in what may be a new signature line — cutting Warren off when she tried to interrupt him.
“Excuse me,” he said, “I’m not a student in your classroom. Please let me respond.”
It was in fact an echo of a quip Brown used in 2010 when he told Attorney General Martha Coakley, “I’m not in your courtroom, and I’m not a defendant.”
NBC “Meet the Press” host David Gregory — almost as hard on the candidates as they were on each other — grilled Brown about his claim that he’s met with kings and queens, and Warren about which Republican senator she believes she could work with.
Warren appeared to slip up when she said Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), who will be out of office in three months. “It depends on what the subject matter is,” Warren recovered. “At the end of the day the reason I’m in this race is about working families. I’ll work with anyone. Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, vegetarians.”
Gregory also pushed Warren for a straight answer on her minority claim.
“I consider myself as having a Native American background ... that’s what I am,” she said.
