Warren spoke about her travels [via private fuel-guzzling jet] to “31 states and Puerto Rico,” and asserted that she isn’t “sucking up to billionaires and spending 70% of [her] time on fund-raising.” Definitely not those bad, bad terrible no-good billionaires because she's only a millionaire and they're okay, just like Comrade Bernie Sanders.
Burnett asked a follow-up question pertaining to rival billionaire Michael Bloomberg.
The following exchange should have occurred but didn't exactly:
BURNETT: On this issue of billionaires – you brought it up, obviously, with Mayor Pete and specifically the PACs and everything else – you know, Mayor Bloomberg obviously is out there now, right? He’s spending a lot of money, and he has said if he’s not the nominee, he’s willing to support whoever is.
WARREN: Good. The little twerp has no business running for president. He's white and he looks like a freaking puppet. He has the audacity to want a box to stand on at the debates.
BURNETT: Anyway, ff that’s you, if you were the nominee, would you take his money?
WARREN: Of course I would. What the hell is wrong with you? I have flexible standards because I am what's best for the country, and when I become the Chief, you will see the heads of corporate billionaires roll like balls at a busy bowling alley.
She then tried to explain her rationale and perception of the difference between what her semi-rich rivals are doing and what she would be doing in accepting Bloomberg’s donations.
"Because look, what I believe is that we should not be selling access to our time. You know, this isn’t for special meetings and listen to my little issue. This is about how our democracy should work. I get it, rich people can own more shoes than the rest of us, more cars than the rest of us, maybe more houses than the rest of us – but by golly, they shouldn’t own a bigger share of our democracy. I want that and their freaking cars and shoes too.
BURNETT: But aren't you already a rich person? And what you just said makes no sense. What are you talking about?
Warren then deflected the question and took the opportunity to criticize the idea of a wealthy person self-financing their campaign:
“Anyone who spends their own money rather than other people's money, is a capitalist and that in itself should be grounds to throw the bum out. Capitalism, free trade, allowing the market to determine the value of goods and services goes against the very foundation of what me and Bernie Sanders have been advocating for--the good will of the government taking care of our needs.
"And that is why, for me, I think we should not be doing these campaigns either letting billionaires finance themselves, or using unlimited spending through Super PACs which everybody on that stage was using except [Sen. Amy Klobuchar] and me, unless they are willing to support what is right for this great nation, and that is supporting my campaign and the free things I promise to deliver.”
The senator from Massachusetts went on to note that she has funded her campaign via a “grassroots” effort by encouraging socialists to go to her website and “pitch in $5 because our democracy is at stake.” And the Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!
Our democracy is at stake if you put a socialist in the White House because in order to get her "plans" to work, you need to forcibly steal from those that have to give much to yourself and give some to those who have not.
If we’re going to be a country," Warren said, "if we’re going to be a Democratic Party, where the only way you get the nomination is you either are a billionaire or you suck up to billionaires, then buckle up because we’re going to have a country that’s just going to work better and better for billionaires, and leave working people and everyone else behind."
Earlier in the debate, Warren had railed against billionaires self-funding campaigns, as well as the influence of PAC money, but like everything else woman who speak with fork tongue says, eventually changes.
And we are a country, Lizzy. We are by far, the most successful and freest country on Earth. We are not perfect but we're a hell of a lot better than second place.
Forked tongue Warren hasn’t always shunned billionaire donors. In 2019 she took about $10.4 million in "leftover funds from her 2018 Senate campaign to underwrite her 2020 run, a portion of which was raised from the same donor class she is now running against," reported the New York Times, a former newspaper.
Elizabeth "Dances Like Tree" Warren is full of buffalo dung.
The same Times piece noted that former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who both "recruited donors" and donated to Warren's 2018 Senate re-election campaign, chose to support Joe Biden. "Can you spell hypocrite?" he reportedly stated in reference to Warren.
Alexandria Obviously-Comatose replied on her behalf: "H-i-p-p-o-k-r-i-t-t."
The "squad" confirmed that she was correct.
