Warren rips Trump in commencement speech: No one is above the law
The Hill ^ | May 12, 2017 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 05/13/2017 7:14:23 AM PDT by Zakeet

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Dumb-Mass) took multiple swipes at the Trump administration during a commencement address Friday, days after President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.

Warren pivoted to Trump during a speech at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, offering suggestions for specific causes graduates could get more involved in.

"I'm trying to keep this apolitical but I can't help myself ... the principle that no one, no one in this country is above the law and we need a Justice Department, not an obstruction of justice department," Warren said.

Democrats have honed in on Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein - both of whom Warren opposed - in the wake of Comey's firing this week.

Fallout over Comey's firing is the latest controversy swirling around the Trump administration, which Democrats have criticized for months over a string of issues including the president's refusal to place his assets in a blind trust or release his tax returns.

The Democratic senator also knocked Trump while referencing the "Elizabeth Warren commencement speech drinking game," quipping that "fireball is a nickname Donald Trump uses on Twitter, not a beverage to be consumed by distinguished college graduates."

Hey Fauxahontas thanks for your comment.

We can use it to expel the millions of illegals in America, illegally voting for you and your party.

Remember you said it, “No one is above the Law!”.

True, why hasn’t been prosecuted for falsely stating she was a Native American in order to get free college financial aid.

It’s like shooting fish in a barrel.

Her speech is another example of Scott Adams' analogy that Americans are looking at the same screen but watching completely different movies.

Adams believes it will take something really big to bring those two audiences together. The Comey firing wasn't big enough though it had potential. Amnesia is obviously a defense as every Dim has conveniently forgotten how much they hated him some months ago.

That is an amazing statement after 8 years of dems getting away with breaking the laws.

I agree, Fauxcahontis. Perhaps you and Hillary could share a cell.

Her quote (and many, many others from an assortment of Dem and Media celebrities) will come back and haunt them when Trump unveils rock solid evidence of the crimes of so many Obama officials.

Jail time? Why not? No one is above the law ... right?

"How incredibly tacky"

I harken back to the 2002 graduation at Washington State U. when my son was graduating with his Master's degree. Patty Murray was the commencement speaker. Ugh!

She spent most of her speech trashing then President Bush. Since Wazzu is in Eastern Washington, she was booed several times.

It seems that these democrat women are senseless and have no respect. But, I don't personally know of any democrats that have any semblance of respect.

Dems are masters at projecting what they do or have been doing.

In this case the dems know they were breaking all kinds of laws and crossing lots of ethic lines during the obamao dictatorship so now they accuse Trump of doing exactly what they did all along. So typical. It’s practically standard dem behavior anymore.

I never thought anyone’s voice could set my teeth on edge like Hillary’s, but ol’ Liz is really giving her a run for the money.

Exactly! I watched DJ at Liberty and it was moving. The only thing the squaw would move me to is the toilet. And consider the contrast in the ones in attendance at both. I have no idea about the ones at the squaw’s speech, but can imagine. DJ had a WWII vet, a POW, in his late 90s, a Liberty CEO. Among others.
