Democrat Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) took to the Senate floor Thursday to charge that President-elect Donald Trump is already walking back his pledge to "drain the swamp."
Warren said that roughly a week after the presidential election, Trump is "inviting the biggest, ugliest swamp monsters in the front door."
"We've heard reports that Vice President-elect Mike Pence has now decided to remove all the lobbyist from the transition team," she said from the Senate floor. "Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. ...Trump promised to drain the swamp, and after one week we've seen what Donald Trump's promise means. Nothing." NBC News reported Wednesday that Pence has ordered that all lobbyists be removed from the transition team.
Trump, during a CBS News interview earlier in the week, acknowledged his team contains lobbyists but argued that Washington is all "one big lobbyist" and promised his administration would "phase that out."
Whitehouse said Trump's campaign pledge to "drain the swamp" could be an area where Democrats are able to work with his administration.
"There are a lot of very powerful creatures in the swamp," he said. "It's one thing to say you're going to drain it. It's another thing to actually take them on."
Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) both questioned Trump's transition team on Tuesday.
Apart from the issue of lobbyists on the team, Democrats have also honed in on Trump's decision to make Breitbart News’ Stephen Bannon his chief strategist and senior counselor.

The American people painted a BIG sign that said to liberals everywhere: “THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO.”
So what do the liberals do? More of THE SAME AND AT DOUBLE VOLUME!
liberalism is truly a mental disease.
Looks like she's using #4.
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
11. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
12. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
The dumbass fake squaw IS the swamp
This woman LOVES to hear herself screech. She is a very nasty woman. As offensive as anyone could ever be. She thinks very highly of herself. You can tell by her body language. Disgusting.
Yes, it's a little bit difficult to drain the swamp, when he hasn't taken over yet.

Everything about her is a fraud.
No way she has the resume to be a professor at Harvard. We all know she played the Native American Indian Card but I believe she may have been having an inappropriate relationship with her current husband. She divorced her husband (last name Warren) and then soon hooked up with another professor that “actually has a resume good enough to get a gig at Harvard.” Her current husband got a job at Harvard and she later followed.
I believe she’s got a lot of dirty laundry she’s hiding. Her resume has to be the most lame at Harvard Law School.
Warren is the greatest fake enemy of Wall Street that Wall Street has ever created. I haven’t heard of the other looser and neither has 95% of anyone else....
Somebody needs to tell these two retarded fake indians, Fauxchantas and Whitehorse that Trump isn’t president yet.
The party of enemy islamists, child murderers, perverts, degenerates, Weiners and that soebarkah thing.
Swamp Queen displeased.
The absolute gall of these people is astounding!
This is why Trump must prosecute, to the fullest, Hillary Rodham Clinton. And as she is prosecuted let that nasty, self-centered elitist jerk Elizabeth Warren explain her support for Hillary as she come Liam’s about draining the swamp.
It's hilarious -- but not surprising -- how they completely don't get it.
Well .. if they’re still there .. swirling in the drain .. then I guess the swamp isn’t done yet.
Don’t worry .. we’ll get around to you.
Dem Senators you say?
Yes, we concur, the swamp is not yet drained.....
