Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is demanding the racial data of those contracting the novel coronavirus, contending that it is “critical to ensuring an equitable and just response to this crisis across the board.”

When does the racial pandering ever stop with Democrats? Even in the middle of a pandemic with lives and wealth globally being lost they cannot kick their compulsion to race bait. It’s sickening. Warren is a sleazy lowlife

I saw an AMAC poll this morning, asking about the performance of the local/state/federal governments.
Then they asked about the performance of Congress...and I couldn't think of anything positive they've done. Just crap like this.
What about POSes like Warren?

If that were to happen, Trump would receive about 98% of the votes! And many more from other countries.
