Senator Elizabeth Warren: Trump Win Partly Due to 'Ugly Stew of Racism'
Newsweek ^ | 4/20/2017 | Isabelle Gerretsen

Posted on 04/20/2017 7:18:25 AM PDT by simpson96

Senator Elizabeth Warren launched another attack on U.S. President Donald Trump on April 19, describing his election win as partly the result of an “ugly stew of racism” on the MSNBC Rachel Maddow Show.

The Massachusetts Democrat has been one of the most outspoken critics of the real estate mogul since he launched his presidential campaign in 2015, taking every opportunity to call him a “fraud” and a “ thin-skinned bully.” Since Trump’s inauguration, Warren has escalated her fight against the president, leading the opposition against Senator Jeff Sessions’s nomination for Attorney General and urging the Senate to vote down Betsy DeVos’ nomination.

When asked by Rachel Maddow why so many middle-class voters cast their ballots for Trump, Warren said the U.S. rhetoric appealed to voters who felt angry and frustrated about the lack of job opportunities.

She added that xenophobia played a big part in Trump’s election campaign. “He got that people are deeply angry,” she said. “People are right to be angry, but Donald Trump said it’s their fault—those other people. Those people who don’t worship like you, those people who don’t look like you, those people who aren’t the same color as you.”

Warren also attacked the president for not fulfilling any of his campaign pledges and his promise to help the working class. “He has already signed off on a law to make it easier for employers to steal their employees’ wages. He’s made it easier for investment advisers to cheat retirees,” she said.

“Racism, we are not cured of, clearly. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say ‘nigger’ in public.

"...critics of the real estate mogul..."

Care to guess how often Newsweek in the previous 8 yrs referred to Pres Trump’s predecessor using phrases like ---
        "...critics of the community organizer..." ??

The ugly stew of racism elected Trump.

People hating Hillary because she is so professional, so polished, such a wonderful lawyer, so brilliant, so good, so righteous, and so much better than us elected Trump.

Robby Mook selecting the wrong travel stops for Hillary and spending heavily in the wrong states elected Trump.

Hillary’s lack of likability and lack of trustworthiness elected Trump.

Self-hating women elected Trump.

Hillary’s campaign team failing to hone her message and get voters to the polls elected Trump.

Wikileaks elected Trump.

FBI investigation elected Trump.

Email scandal elected Trump.

Men elected Trump.

Misogyny elected Trump.

FBI Director Comey elected Trump.

Lower-level FBI agents pressuring their Director (because that’s how professional relationships work) elected Trump.

Tim Kaine gave Hillary Virginia, but he also elected Trump.

White women elected Trump.

The Russians elected Trump.

Sexists elected Trump.

Rural voters elected Trump.

The working class voting against their own interests elected Trump.

Fake news elected Trump.

Facebook elected Trump.

Supermarket tabloids elected Trump.

Celebrity (The Apprentice) elected Trump.

White male resentment elected Trump.

Over-shaming Trump supporters elected Trump.

Rejecting Bernie elected Trump.

Reagan democrats elected Trump.

Gary Johnson and Jill Stein voters elected Trump.

Backlash against political correctness elected Trump.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

Ok? So she doesn’t even know what race she is from, so how can she even use the word ‘racism’? She is very confused.

Hillary is BLACK?

I never would have guessed! (Yeah, I know that Bill “was the first Black President”, but I always thought that theirs was a mixed-race marriage...)

Dang. She got me there. I am a racist against white people who lie about being American Indian. Perhaps it is because I actually have a little American Indian in me.
