Elizabeth Warren Takes Credit for Sponsoring Bills She Voted Against
Free Beacon ^ | January 17, 2020 | Andrew Stiles

Posted on 01/17/2020 8:27:21 PM PST by lowbridge

Underperforming presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has portrayed herself as a bipartisan dealmaker by taking credit for sponsoring bills she ultimately voted against.

"I do work with the other side," Warren said in October during a radio interview in New Hampshire. "I've gotten more than a dozen bills passed into law, and they've been bipartisan. And that's just been since Donald Trump has been elected president." A post on the "Fact Squad" section of Warren's campaign website similarly boasts that "Donald Trump has signed more than a dozen of Elizabeth's proposals into law" and lists 15 pieces of legislation Warren sponsored.

Three of the items included in that tally, however, are bills that Warren ultimately voted against. The Gambling Addiction Prevention Act, the Sexual Trauma Response And Treatment Act, and the National Guard Promotion Accountability Act all passed the Senate in August 2018 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2019. Warren was one of only 10 senators who voted against the 2019 NDAA, along with fellow 2020 contenders Kamala Harris (RIP), Kirsten Gillibrand (RIP), and Bernie Sanders.

She seems to be exhibiting the early stages of Alzheimer’s. Poor soul.

Warren: “I think you called me a liar on National TV”

Me: “Everyone is calling you a liar. Bernie didn’t though.
Your candidacy is now done”.

She has a lot in common with former Congressman Charlie Rangel. He submitted two separate Bills to bring back the military draft, and then voted against both of them.

I clicked on this because I thought it was an offer for Free Bacon.

Kind of disappointing.

Sounds like Ron Paul in reverse. He would pick a bill that was under consideration that he knew would be passed into law, he’d tack a boatload of pork for his district onto it, and then vote against it. That way he kept getting reelected by the gimmedats, but could claim he’d voted against pork, if he were ever challenged about it.

It’s genetic. She doesn’t know and hasn’t learned any other way.

Thats the problem with lies, you have to have a perfect memory to keep track of them. Always telling the truth requires no memory at all.

Nah. She’s far from that. I’m not a doctor mind you but I’ve worked in three nursing homes and Pochantas here is far from Alzheimer’s. She’s just a lying bitch.

Chief Slinging Bull continues her lifelong tradition of blatantly lying to pursue her own shallow narrow interest.

Key word “ultimately”. She may have voted on an early version, perhaps just in a Committee, written by Dems loaded with things that the Republican Senate would never pass.

This is similar to how Dems will campaign on all the bills that they passed in the House but that the meanies in the Senate wouldn’t even consider. Of course, if you do not work with the other legislative body, when it is divided, you are not serious. Their LIV-ers will give Dens full credit.

Elizabeth Warren lies.

That is what Elizabeth Warren does.

That is all Elizabeth Warren does.

Some people must really enjoy being lied to.
