Sen. Elizabeth Warren is the law professor who wants to eliminate student debt. Her reputation as a defender of consumers was only momentarily overshadowed by her claims to distant Native American ancestry, her defense of Israeli strikes on Gaza, or her past as an ‘ice-cold Republican.’
So how did a woman who stayed in Reagan’s party throughout the AIDS and crack epidemics become every executive’s worst nightmare? (via Who Is?, 🗣Julia Shiplett)

In US news and current events today, meet Elizabeth Warren, a U.S. Senator, a CEO’s worst nightmare, and a 2020 democratic presidential candidate, who has a very real chance of becoming the nation’s first ever female president.
As a professor in the 80s, she was traveling the country with a photocopier, working on a big study examining bankruptcy: who files for it and why it happens. She set out to prove that people were robbing the system.
In 1992, she became a law professor at Harvard and later got a call from Washington. One of her old high school debate buddies was hired by the Clinton administration to study the country’s bankruptcy laws, and he decided to call Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren. She said, “We hadn’t seen each other in the intervening decades, but 14-year-old boys seem to remember 15-year-old girls who once beat them in [debate] tournament play.''
She went to bat for the American people against both the Bush and Obama administrations, questioning them about why the government was more interested in bailing out the banks than helping homeowners facing foreclosure.
Warren won a Senate seat in 2012, representing Massachusetts, where she’s doggedly fought for the American people ever since.
Warren has been one of the loudest voices in the Senate holding the rich accountable, but she has also done some things during her past that many are critical of. For example, in 1986 Warren claimed she was “American Indian” when she filled out paperwork for the State Bar of Texas. In 2019 Warren released DNA results showing she had a Native American ancestor 6 to 10 generations ago. Critics argue the distant ancestors make her unable to claim the identity. Warren apologized. And in 2017, she voted to raise the defense budget to $700 billion, far surpassing the $54 billion increase requested by Trump. She championed Israel’s war on Gaza and supported sanctions against Venezuela. But, all in all, she’s largely seen as one of the most progressive U.S. senators America has ever seen.
On February 9, 2019, Warren formally announced her bid for the presidency. Throughout the debates, Warren was frequently seen side by side with Senator Bernie Sanders as they both bashed private insurance companies, and the rich, and sometimes Joe Biden. The two candidates are often compared to one another, and of course they overlap, but denying there are differences between them is inaccurate. When Donald Trump - at the State of the Union - said that America would never be a socialist country, Warren stood up and applauded.
Warren’s recent shift of shooing big money away during the primaries has critics fearful that this is just a strategic move and not a deeply held belief. They argue she’s trying to keep up with Bernie Sanders and appease the immense democratic socialist shift in the party before taking big money again in the general to compete with Trump. In fact, Warren confirmed this fear.
It’s unclear what an ever evolving Elizabeth Warren would look like in the general election. But if she gets the chance, this one time Harvard professor with tons of government experience - and a finger on the pulse of the political landscape - might just beat a former steak salesman.

@UCUVP49ZTPfdIJovZ6TydeBA Uh.. what? lol. The directly talked about her claim to be "native American" and even said how small of a percent it would have to be since it had to go back 6 generations. They also directly addressed _many_ of the issues possible dem voters have with her and are keeping them from wanting to vote for her. The very issues that keep me wary of her. In fact they dug into her quite a bit with a direct jab that it took bankruptcies for her to leave the Republican party, and not the overt racism stemming from them. But i get it, you dont like "Now This" and anything they say has to be propaganda even when they talk about facts. Iv seen people like you here in the comments before. Rarely do you seem to pay attention to the videos and when you have an issue with facts Now This brings to the table you ignore them. And unless they server you Warrens head on a platter you will cry about them being "bias". Sheesh.

The whole "Indian" story was grossly mispresented. What happened was that the Republicans dug deep to find dirt on her and THAT was the only thing they found. so after all the fuss they made she did the DNA test AND attached a statement that she wasn't claiming any of the culture or anything like this, for her it was just important that he mother didn't lie to her when she taught her that there was an ancestor, only to then being accused of doing what she was clearly stating NOT doing, leading her to apologize over nothing because she rather did that than having more of a discussion over a nothing burger.

It's not. The whole story about her heritage was framed completely dishonestly by leaving out important details (most important that she didn't just release the result of her test but did it in tandem with a video in which she made very clear that she WASN'T claiming any heritage or special cultural status based on it, only to then being accused that she did, even though she clearly didn't, showing how dishonest the whole "controversy" was from the get go), and that she doesn't want the US to be a socialist country isn't a mark against her either, because "Socialism" in the US context has a very particular meaning. It is better to push for the notion of a Social democracy or a social market economy than accepting this toxic label. (Especially since that is what she actually wants, a state based on the European model).

(Breitbart) - Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) son-in-law, with whom she is close, has troubling ties to the Iranian regime, according to a new book by Peter Schweizer. The book, Profiles in Corruption, reveals progressive leaders’ little-known ties to corrupt businesses and governments and discusses the Massachusetts senator in a chapter. The chapter details the business deals of Warren’s son-in-law, Sushil Tyagi, who is married to her daughter, Amelia. Tyagi was born in India but moved to the United States, where he met Amelia while they were both pursuing MBAs at Wharton Business School. Warren and Tyagi are close. She attended his brother’s wedding in India, recounting it in her memoir. She and her husband Bruce Mann in December 2009 served as witnesses for a power of attorney corporate document he filed in India. Since his marriage into the Warren family, Tyagi “has been involved in a series of curious-even troubling-business ventures around the world,” Schweizer writes. Tyagi runs Tricolor Films, and in 2008, produced a film called The Song of Sparrows, directed by Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi. The film was described as Majidi’s “most religious” and is about a man who is fired from his job on an ostrich farm, moves to the big city and becomes a motorcycle taxi driver, and soon becomes consumed with his passengers’ lives and is swept up in a world of greed. It is his family that help him restore his “caring and generous nature,” according to a film synopsis. Tyagi was listed as the film’s sole producer on a New York Times page, in credits which have now been deleted. A look back at the page’s archive revealed that the film was funded by the Iranian government agency that is overseen by Iranian propagandists. Schweizer writes: The full credits of the film, for some reason, seem to also have been scrubbed from the internet. We obtained a copy by using the Wayback machine and made a startling discovery: the movie’s chief investors included none other than the social deputy of the State Welfare Organization (SWO) of Iran (SWO-“معاونت اجتماعی سازمان بهزیستی کشور”) as well as the Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran. (“سازمان فرهنگی و هنری شهرداری تهران”) These two investors in the film might appear at first glance to be innocuous cultural organizations-but they are not. Both are funded and controlled by the Islamist Iranian government. The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran states: “This organization was founded in 1996 and [does] its activities under the supervision of a board of trustees composed of various cultural institutions such as IRIB and Islamic propaganda organization.” The Cultural and Artistic Organization of Tehran’s page promotes cultural events such as one for school children entitled “The Seal of Hostages,” attended by several top Iranian officials, according to the book. Another event is the inherently antisemitic Quds Day on the last day of Ramadan. The organization also arranges marches, as well as organizes posters and other materials, for Quds Day. Its site says, “A new plan for the destruction of Israel will be launched, and the Quds Cultural Radio station will be located at the Radio Station. Also, the ‘I love the fight against Israel’ is distributed among the people.” Schweizer notes, “Quds Day typically features massive crowds organized by the Iranian government chanting ‘death to America’ and burning effigies, with full media coverage.” He writes Tyagi’s The Song of Sparrows has film credits that read like “who’s who of prominent Iranian government institutions.” For example, there is a thank-you to the “Iranian Revolutionary Guards Air Force.” This was during a time of heightened U.S.-Iran tensions, when Washington had accused Iran of assisting in the killing of five American soldiers based in Iraq, and the then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had repeatedly threatened that the United States, which he declared a “satanic power,” and warned that Israel would disappear from the face of the earth. Tyagi also produced another film by Majid Majidi, but even less information is available about this film, Schweizer writes. According to the book, a now deleted Web page describes Tyagi’s production company this way: Leveraging their relationships with studio executives, access to top creative talent, and the high-level support that they enjoy from numerous foreign governments, this Los Angeles-based production company is developing a number of major international-themed projects for feature films, television, and interactive media. “It is not known what foreign governments those might involve beyond Iran. Why the website was shut down is also unknown,” the book says.

The facts of Warrens actions is why people turned off her. She lies and backed out of Medicare for all. Rather than return to what was getting her support originally. She started her dirty smear job on Sanders is what made people angry and vocal. It backfired on her. She showed people how she treats those she calls her friends and voters rightly dont believe she wont turn on them.

Well her story checked out didn't it. She was told she had an Indian grandfather and she had traces on Native American DNA. He was probably mixed. Those family histories can get muddled. As far as stealing a recipe and sending her kids to private schools, how perfect do you expect people to be for Petes sake! Compared to Trump and almost every other swamp creature in DC she is an angel.
