Elizabeth Warren confronted by her Republican past
Washington Examiner ^ | August 20, 2019 | Naomi Lim

Posted on 08/27/2019 4:14:01 PM PDT by Momaw Nadon

Elizabeth Warren is best known as a liberal firebrand, but the 2020 Democrat was a registered Republican well into her 40s.

The Massachusetts senator's affiliation with the GOP until 1996 when she was 47, documented by Pennsylvania and Massachusetts voting records, was dredged up this week by actress and Bernie Sanders fan Susan Sarandon. The film and small-screen star alluded to the Massachusetts senator's prior party allegiance while introducing Sanders in Iowa, despite the Vermont senator's campaign urging surrogates not to criticize fellow presidential candidates.

“He is not someone who used to be a Republican,” Sarandon said of the socialist, who himself has toggled between being a Democrat and independent before and after elections.

Ronaldus Reagan and Donaldus Trump were both Democrats at one point in their lives.

Are there any Articles about them “grappling” with that fact?

That must be just after she was Native American. When did Bernie go from communist to democratic socialist?

Don’t think it hurts her that much.

It was 23 years ago.

We can go back in time shorter than that to see that our Great President has converted very much or kept what he really thought in his head.

Of course he didn’t have an official voting record.

Anything that hurts one in the primary can be use in the generals so I like them smashing each other.

An effort is afoot to rebrand fauxcahontas by triangulation into a moderate. Look out America! They did this with Omama and his support for traditional marriage...and look how that worked out.

Does anyone really think someone who brazenly spun an apocryphal unverified family story into a shortcut for a Harvard teaching job is going to be scared by an old voter registration?

My observation has been, with no facts behind it, when a woman who is still in her childbearing years has been a conservative Republican suddenly switches to being a Democrat it is because she has had an abortion.

It’s great to see them eat their own, because it’s so rare.

My question....How do you go from even a moderate to slightly left Republican to a raging Liberal/Progressive leftist.

I mean Joe Scarborough did that but for him it was purely a monentary decision and he really never had any core values to begin with but she actually appears to be a true believer. Thoughts?

What’s the big deal? First of all, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and all the rest of the current Democrat candidates seeking to run for POTUS in 2020 are absolutely going nowhere...politically, no matter what they call themselves. Who cares?

However, the millions of ex-Democrat labor union members who voted for POTUS, Donald J. Trump to become our current POTUS, are not going back to the failing, dying Democrat Party. Folks....that’s the big story!!! Joe Biden cannot and will not save the Democrat Party, Shucks, Joe Biden can’t save himself....for goodness sake!!! End of story...Case Closed!!!

She taught public school then at the University level so she was late indoctrinee.

My wife when I first met her leaned left but not a liberal.

25 years from running her own business having to pay taxes, deal with gov’t regulations she is now far right conservative

Native American: Elizabeth Warren’s Ancestors Complicit in Cherokee Oppression.

Cherokee Nation citizen and activist urges 2020 Dem to ‘tell the truth’ about her family

In 1836, Warren’s great-great-great-grandfather, a white man named William Marsh, enlisted himself in a Tennessee militia to fight in the “Cherokee War,” an occupation of Cherokee land in the lead-up to the Trail of Tears.Decades later, his grandson John Houston Crawford moved his family onto Indian Territory and squatted on Cherokee land in a move that, with no record of a permit, was almost certainly illegal.The Crawfords were just some of the tens of thousands of white squatters who outnumber Cherokees on our own land. While Cherokee Nation beseeched Congress to enforce our treaty rights and kick them out, the squatters pushed Congress to divide up our treaty territory and create a path to white land ownership; the squatters won.

Perhaps but there has been no claim that she was a ‘conservative republican’ but merely a ‘republican.’
