Elizabeth Warren Is In A Spin War With Democrats, And Conservatives Should Pay Attention

Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez

The Federalist
"Warren semi-regularly fluffs her facts on what is supposed to be her area of policy expertise. Anger seems to matter more to her than getting stuff right."
"Elizabeth Warren is pissed, people.
"This week, the Senate passed a financial reform bill that she did not support. Not one little bit. And neither did fellow “progressives,” like Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is up for re-election this year and is speculated to be a potentially hot contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.

"But a bunch of Warren’s fellow "Democrats did support the act, including many from redder states where availability of banking services is a challenge. These Democrats were more sympathetic than Sen. Warren & co. to the plight of regional banks — the ones this week’s bill — S. 2155, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Reform, and Consumer Protection Act — was trying to help, as one banking industry figure said, banks like “Eagle Bank, Union First, Zions.” . . .

Cherokee genealogist slams Elizabeth Warren’s ancestry claims as ‘ludicrous’
. . .  “ 'She’s a lawyer, and she’s supposed to understand you need proof, yet she keeps claiming,” said Ms. Barnes, whose research appears on the Thoughts from Polly’s Granddaughter website. “Many are angry because they feel like she’s appropriating an identity to gain something from that. And she has no respect for true Native Americans.”

"Ms. Warren’s Cherokee heritage claims have dogged her during her 2018 re-election bid, thanks in large part to President Trump’s repeated referrals to the senator as “Pocahontas,” a nickname she has denounced as a “racial slur.' ” . . .
