Summary of video, interview with her Senatorial seat challenger Geoff Diehl (R):

Elizabeth Warren who wants to eliminate the Trump tax cuts and tack on even more tax increases declared a total of $190,000 in deductions for clothing and house wares given to charity.

In her 2014 tax return alone, Warren took a $50,000 deduction for 'donated clothing and household items' but her people now admit this was a mistake and actual value should be $8,000.

Senate Republican challenger Diehl says you can't find $8,000 worth of clothes in his entire household between himself, his wife and 2 daughters, and can't fathom how anyone could deduct $8,000 for clothes given to charity, let alone $190,000. She's out of touch. Points to hypocrisy that she wants to raise everyone else's taxes while looking for extreme and absurd ways to lower her own tax bill.

Producers of show reached out to Warren for comment, no reply. Interviewer says it reminds her of a story she worked on in the 1990s when the Clintons were writing off $2/pair for giving away their used underpants.

Interviewer then asks "is this a case of do as I say not as I do" and Diehl replies it much worse than that - in 2017 on 'Equal Pay Day' Warren spoke about the need for women to earn the same as men, but on that same day it was revealed the women in her Senate office earn only 71 cents for every $1 the men in her office earn.

RCP shows Warren with a 20+ point lead over Diehl.

Never saw a poor socialist, only those outside of the ruling class. It does appear that we have this right in America. She will be reelected.. they always are victims and never held accountable.

Since the democrat scum all were so absolutely sure that Hillary would win there’s probably a lot of tax returns that should be reviewed rather than just one here and there.

A: I’m surprised that Lizzie has any men working for her.

I picture her staff as mostly old lesbian leftist women with maybe a few leftist college girl interns mixed in to liven things up.

B: Given A; Of course she has to pay men more. Even lefty Soy-Bois are gonna charge more for working in that environment.

Well, the good news is that MA is still depopulating, so they’ll likely lose another House seat after the next census. Less juice in the chamber with the power of the purse.

It was an innocent mistake. Just a careless $42,000 rounding error. I wonder if Liz does her own tax returns.

Yet Warren has been running an ad on YouTube where she starts to blather on about corruption in Washington. I was subjected to that ad about three times; I skipped it as soon as the obligatory 10 seconds had played. I thought about complaining to YouTube, which I probably would have done if that ad would have come up a couple more times. But I haven’t seen it for a few days.

Once exposed, she’s all excuses. And then there are the usual sycophants who will make additional excuses for her.
