During her now-infamous Senate tirade against the confirmation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) criticized the former Alabama senator because his office suggested in a press release that a wealthy American corporation should hire Americans. One would think Warren, who has been mocked as Pocahontas or Fauxcahontas for misrepresenting herself as a Native American to obtain preferential treatment, would be less cavalier toward Americans with serious questions about their own career prospects.
While there has been much media consternation over the populist direction of the Republican Party under President Donald Trump, there hasnt been much discussion of the Democratic Partys brand of populism, which finds its most vocal proponents in figures like Elizabeth Warren and Vermont senator Bernie Sanders. Indeed, many of the Democrat policies over the past generation could be critiqued as populist what better term for promises of free college tuition or health care?
The worst brand of populism attempts to manipulate the public by creating devil figures to play on its fears. About 35 hours into Warrens tirade against Sessions on the Senate floor, she played that game with White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, who formerly served as communications director for Senator Jeff Sessions of Arkansas. (Its actually 35 minutes into the clip below. It only feels like 35 hours.)
Warren quoted extensively from a Daily Beast article, which sought to link Sessions to President Trumps executive order for a temporary pause in visas and refugee applications from certain countries incorrectly labeled a refugee ban, of course, because the media has demonstrated a comprehensive inability to discuss the executive order honestly.
The idea behind the article was to cite the voluminous press releases Miller emailed when he was working for Sessions and suggest that Miller remained a puppet of Sessions

Now, we need to help elect Keith Ellison as DNC chief, eh?
Senator faux-cough-hauntus will take her seat.
Sessions was the Senator from Alabama, not Arkansas.
I like the name “Crazy Whorse” better
Fauxcahontas is great- but too cerebral for most libtards.
Lieawatha is probably best for dealing with them.
“$hitting Bull” also works.
This liar nincompoop deserves to be censured in the senate and shunned in society. Maybe exiled...

Ms Warren, do you ever listen to yourself?
I suggest you try it.
Who are you really working for?
Princess Summer-Fall-Winter-Spring, of Howdy Doody fame, was a perky, sparkly little faux-Indian, just the kind of person Senator Warren could use for one of the patterns for her life.
Except Judy Tyler had at least a modest amount of talent.
Senator Warren merely screeches.
Fact-check!
Does Brietbart not read its own work.
It’s a good read but making a mistake like that gives it an instant “C”.
Just wonderful... I’m investing in earplugs well in advance of the 2020 elections. Listening to HRC was really bad, but the sound of this shrill voice spewing her stupidity and lies would be far too much to handle. I’m just man, a mere mortal.
How ‘bout native Americans?
Between her, Chelsea and the Kennedy girl, the popcorn stocks will skyrocket in 2020....
What to do with this clown? Maybe write “open letters” to Massachusetts residents? Even more horror now stalks our Senate; i.e. Kamala whats her name from California.
Warren shows she is anti American. But we knew that already.
In a CNN sponsored debate questions will be handed to audience and answers will be handed to the candidates.
I hope Lie-a-Watha is the Dem nominee in ‘20.
It will be a GOP landslide.
Squaw must learn to run horse, not run mouth.
