Senator Elizabeth Warren: Trump Win Partly Due to 'Ugly Stew of Racism'
Newsweek ^ | 4/20/2017 | Isabelle Gerretsen

Posted on 04/20/2017 7:18:25 AM PDT by simpson96

Senator Elizabeth Warren launched another attack on U.S. President Donald Trump on April 19, describing his election win as partly the result of an “ugly stew of racism” on the MSNBC Rachel Maddow Show.

The Massachusetts Democrat has been one of the most outspoken critics of the real estate mogul since he launched his presidential campaign in 2015, taking every opportunity to call him a “fraud” and a “ thin-skinned bully.” Since Trump’s inauguration, Warren has escalated her fight against the president, leading the opposition against Senator Jeff Sessions’s nomination for Attorney General and urging the Senate to vote down Betsy DeVos’ nomination.

When asked by Rachel Maddow why so many middle-class voters cast their ballots for Trump, Warren said the U.S. rhetoric appealed to voters who felt angry and frustrated about the lack of job opportunities.

She added that xenophobia played a big part in Trump’s election campaign. “He got that people are deeply angry,” she said. “People are right to be angry, but Donald Trump said it’s their fault—those other people. Those people who don’t worship like you, those people who don’t look like you, those people who aren’t the same color as you.”

Warren also attacked the president for not fulfilling any of his campaign pledges and his promise to help the working class. “He has already signed off on a law to make it easier for employers to steal their employees’ wages. He’s made it easier for investment advisers to cheat retirees,” she said.

How insulting.

Carrying on the tradition of calling at least 1/2 of Americans deplorables. Carrying on the DNC playbook of divide and pit people against each other. And they see nothing wrong with it.

So much damage the Dems have done to this country. Damn shame there’s limited visibility to it, and almost no accountability for it.

They need to keep it up; be more shrill and hysterical and call people vicious names. It worked so well for them for the last 8 years.

No, I think she may be on to something here:

Perhaps the public is so sick and tired of being constantly bombarded with lies about racism that the worm has turned, so to speak.

Keep it up, dims. You’re only hurting yourselves and those you *claim* to represent.

What makes The Red Man Red?

When did he first say "Ugh"?

Why does he ask you "How"?

Can you answer that Lizzie?

When did Trump EVER say that, or anything resembling that? Will anyone call this b**** on her lies, make her show a video clip or news article of Trump saying that?

an “ugly stew of racism”

Libtards are collectivists. They are the ones who are obsessed with race and group victimization. Since they are wrong about everything, that is the only thing they have left to talk about.

Dear Senator Warren,

Trump won because Hillary Clinton effectively turned into the candidate of the bourgeoisie--in effect, the candidate of Wall Street, the technology industry and the entertainment industry. And the majority of Americans in flyover country HATED that.

Keep talking Dems. This ignorant, shrilly hysteric, rhetoric is exactly why you keep losing.

Hey witch...

Your side lost. That happens.

If you refuse to understand why, you're a loser.

Lost happens once. Loser is forever.

Squaw Speaks with Forked Tongue (Warren) and James Brown’s Mother (Waters) just keep on talking — loud and often. Along with Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz, these loud-mouthed broads will alienate more and more people.

Did HRC go full on Rachel Dolezal while I wasn't looking?
