On CNN Wednesday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was asked to comment on the heartbreaking case of Mollie Tibbetts, the Iowa teenager who was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant.
Rather than simply offer condolences to the Tibbetts family, Warren said they "have to remember" that it's important for the country to focus on "real problems" like helping illegal immigrants. She then launched into a rote political diatribe lamenting the treatment of illegal aliens at the Mexican border.
Warren made sure to include the Democrats' 2018 campaign talking points about babies being snatched from the arms of their "mamas" at the border.
"Last month, I went down to the border and I saw where children had been taken away from their mothers. I met with those mothers who had been lied to, who didn't know where their children were, who hadn't had a chance to talk to their children, and there was no plan for how they would be reunified," she argued passionately on behalf of the illegal aliens.
"I don't think mamas and babies are the place that we should be spending our resources. Separating a mama from a baby does not make this country safer," Warren added.
Mollie Tibbetts has been separated from her mama forever because an illegal immigrant brutally murdered her. Unfortunately for Warren, there are no Democrat talking points to help her with that sad reality.
This gaff should be the end of her political career.
Warren’s comment is not surprising coming from a Traitorchuetts senator.
This gaff should be the end of her political career.
Again proving that a gaff is when a politician accidentally says out loud what they really believe.
Typical DemoRat....what a sorry hateful person.....scumbag
Hey, Warren, now you have a problem. It’s called Liberal hoof-and-mouth disease. You and Lanny Davis should hang out together more often.
Just look at this quoting:
Rather than simply offer condolences to the Tibbetts family, Warren said they "have to remember" that it's important for the country to focus on "real problems" like helping illegal immigrants.
If she said "they have to remember", why was "they" not included between the quote marks? Probably because she didn't say that. And if you play the clip, sure enough, she didn't. She said "we have to remember".
So that bit if falsely portrayed as a comment directed at the family when it was really directed at "we", the country.
She also didn't say we should focus on real problems like "helping illegal immigrants".
Her response is worth criticizing for sure. She avoided answering the question and instead brought up separated families, which is itself a distortion of the real issue. But reporters should not lie.
