Elizabeth Warren Tag

A new book written by two New York Times reporters, excerpted in an article at the NYTimes, about the nomination and confirmation of Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh purports to raise new evidence about Kavanaugh's supposed sexual misconduct while at Yale. The new accusations do not hold up to scrutiny and are self-contradictory, but that has not stopped Democrat presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Julian Castro, and Robert "Beto" O'Rourke from calling for Kavanaugh's impeachment.

We all know that 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren loves to rail against supposed dark money in politics, Wall Street, and evil corporations. She vowed to avoid big money during her presidential campaign. She swore she would run a full-on grass-roots campaign. How about before Warren's presidential campaign? The New York Times reported Warren courted big money before she swore it off.

Even with his well-documented penchant for gaffes, his tendency to flub or embellish stories, and his outright lying about his positions on the issues, Joe Biden's lead in national Democratic presidential polling has been consistent and stable. But we're just a few months out from the start of Democratic primaries and caucuses, and the focus is shifting from national polls to state-level polls. It is in some of the early primary state polls that we see cracks in Joe Biden's wall of support:

Two of the least likable, least trusted women in Democrat politics are reportedly "becoming closer," even colluding behind the scenes.  Imagine a Hillary 3.0 run with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as the 2020 Hillary.  What can go wrong?

Throughout her adult professional life, Elizabeth Warren has manipulated Native Americans. When Warren was in her mid-30s, and a law professor, she for the first time asserted that she was Native American. She didn't do it by joining Native American groups, by bringing lawsuits to help Native Americans, or by helping Native American students. Never in her life did she do any of those things.

Elizabeth Warren definitely is surging. She took a campaign left for dead early in the year after the DNA debacle and her Native American problem, and turned it around on the back of rolling out aggressive plans every few days to keep herself in the news cycle. It took a while, but being the center of news coverage for months appears to be paying off.

Five years ago, on August 9, 2014, Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, Missouri, by police officer Darren Wilson. The death, and the claim that Brown was shot with his hands up asking not to shoot, sparked riots and launched the Black Lives Matter Movement to national prominence. But the narrative was based on a lie. Brown was shot because he attacked and attempted to take Wilson's pistol. His hands weren't up, and he didn't ask not to shoot, as an Obama-Holder Justice Department investigation later proved.

Rahm Emanuel once famously said that you should never let a crisis go to waste. Democrats have apparently taken that message to heart. The DNC and Democratic candidates sent out fundraising emails after the two shootings over the weekend.
