Elizabeth Warren: Dead phony walking

By Thomas Lifson

FTA:
Warren’s Instagram video, in which the prissy professor pretended she was an average Joe using working-class vernacular and said, “Hold on a second – I’m gonna get me a beer” was cringe-inducing, as was the body language purporting to be slugging down a brewski:

The faux, visibly uncomfortable and out-of-character attempt to speak in the Vulgate brought to mind, as Ed Driscoll reminded us, John F. Kerry’s immortal fake folksiness in telling people, “Can I get a me a hunting license here?”

I don’t know a single person who likes being patronized, as Warren, Dukakis, and Kerry were obviously doing to people they regarded as their social and intellectual inferiors. People who patronize others are blind to their own contempt for those they seek to enlighten with their own virtue. A dose of humility is the only remedy, and humility is, to a Harvard professor turned senator, like a cross to a vampire.

Elizabeth Warren does not understand that she is now damaged goods, her image as a snobby phony cast in stone. I hope she persists in her futile quest for the Oval Office, for all she will do is remind voters that Democrats speak with forked tongues (as her nonexistent Native American ancestors said in countless movies) when they talk about affirmative action, or helping the working class, among other subjects.

One of the root problems Democrats face is that the mainstream media never call them out and never really warn them when they are being phonies. The press operates as a claque for them, sparing them warnings about how out of touch they get with the public they seek to persuade. The fact that media elites share the same class preferences of Democrat elites is all the more dangerous.
