Elizabeth Warren supporters walk out of her launch speech on live TV

Supporters present at Elizabeth Warren’s official announcement for her bid for president walked out during her speech.

Warren held a rally at an outdoor venue in Lawrence, Mass., where she announced that she is officially seeking the Democratic nomination to run against President Trump in 2020.

About 30 minutes before the conclusion of her speech, attendees standing behind her could be seen leaving the event.

Warren teased that she would be making her announcement at 11 a.m. on Saturday, but she did not take stage until around an hour after the scheduled slot, during which time attendees stood outside in freezing temperatures.

The high temperature in Lawrence Saturday was 32 degrees.

Other speakers engaged the audience for an hour before Warren arrived on stage, including Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Mass., who introduced Warren after announcing this week that he would not run for president in 2020.

Warren made the official announcement more than a month after she launched her bid with a presidential exploratory committee.

She joins a growing field of Democratic nominees in what is expected to be a crowded pool of primary candidates.

Elizabeth Warren vows to break up tech giants if elected in 2020
BBC | 5 hours ago


US Democrat Elizabeth Warren has proposed breaking up tech giants like Amazon, Facebook and Google if elected to the US presidency in 2020.

Seeking to stand out in a crowded Democratic field, Ms Warren told a crowd in Queens, New York, that she was "sick of freeloading billionaires".

Her regulatory plan would reverse some tech mergers and stop companies from competing on their own platforms.

This would promote competition and safeguard small businesses, she said.

Ms Warren pinpointed the Amazon acquisition of WholeFoods as one she would reverse, along with Facebook's merger with WhatsApp and Instagram, and Google's with Waze.

And she said she would halt practices such as Amazon selling on its own Amazon Marketplace platform.

She outlined her proposals in a post on the website Medium. The companies have not yet commented.

Amazon had planned to build a new headquarters close to where Ms Warren spoke but withdrew plans last month, blaming local leaders.

One woman at the rally, who was undecided about who to vote for, said: "What I like is that she's proposing big ideas."

Heard above the din
Analysis by BBC North America reporter Anthony Zurcher

Elizabeth Warren was the first major Democrat to announce a 2020 presidential bid. She's since been joined by five of fellow senators, a current governor, a former governor and an ex-cabinet secretary, among others. Although she came out of the gate first, the pack has quickly caught up.

She's tried to stand out from the crowd by proposing a series of big, detailed progressive policies, including a "wealth tax" on multimillionaires, universal childcare and - in her latest move - using the government's anti-monopoly power to break up big tech companies.

She'll have a chance to make her case for it on Saturday in front of what could be a not-so-welcoming crowd, here at the South by Southwest technology conference in Austin, Texas. Politicians sometimes benefit from taking uncomfortable - and politically risky - stands in front of otherwise sympathetic audiences as a way to show a bit of spine.

There is still a very long road ahead for Ms Warren, and her competitors - many of whom will also be on the Austin stage this weekend. The Massachusetts senator is doing her best to be heard above the din - but so is everyone else.

Who is Elizabeth Warren?
A Massachusetts senator, she has a background in law and policy academia and sits on the progressive left of the Democratic Party.

She burst on to the national scene following the 2008 economic collapse, championing the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - a government agency that would serve as a Wall Street watchdog and public advocate.

In 2010, following congressional passage of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, she helped the Obama administration set it up.

Two years later, Ms Warren rode that wave of attention to a seat in the US Senate, and on New Year's Eve she became the first major Democratic candidate to announce that she was planning a presidential bid.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren called for eliminating the Electoral College in a Monday town hall in Mississippi.

The Democratic presidential contender told the crowd at Jackson State University that presidential candidates "don't come to places like Mississippi" during the general election while pointing out Mississippi is not a "battleground state."

"My view is that every vote matters. And the way we can make that happen is we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College," she said, to large applause.

Discussions over whether to change the Electoral college process sprout up every presidential election cycle. If you don't know, the Electoral College is the method by which electors from each state select the winner of a presidential election. Opponents of the Electoral College process often call for electing presidents by popular vote instead.

In February, Colorado became the 13th state to sign a compact in which the states would cast all of its electoral votes for the winner of the national popular presidential vote. In 2016, Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton won the popular vote over President Donald Trump by nearly 3 million votes.

At Monday's town hall, which was hosted by CNN, Warren also advocated for ditching the Mississippi state flag and frequently returned to a campaign theme centered on reducing income inequality.

The audience, including a number of Jackson State students and staff, peppered the senator with questions during the roughly hour-long session hosted by Jake Tapper. Earlier in the day, she visited two Delta cities to promote a plan to improve affordable housing.

"I'm tired of a Washington that works for the rich and the powerful," Warren told the crowd at the start. "I want a Washington that works for the rest of America. That's why I'm in this fight."

Here are four takeaways from Warren's town hall:

1. Income inequality and taxing the rich to fund ambitious projects

When someone asked her about how to ensure the rich pay their fair share in taxes, Warren became visibly excited. She loves the subject, and brings it up often on the campaign trail. One of her proposals is an "ultra-millionaires" tax, which would levy a new 2 percent tax on those with a net worth of $50 million or more, and 3 percent on those with assets over $1 billion.

She also pushed increased regulations for large corporations. And she has proposed breaking up large tech companies such as Apple, Google and Facebook, due to their alleged monopolistic practices. Large corporations, she said Monday, "want to run over whoever they want to run over," even if that includes their customers, their own employees or their local communities.

"I believe in markets, and I believe in the value we get out of markets," she said. "But it's got to be markets with rules. Markets without rules is theft."

2. She's in favor of Medicare-for-all proposals, though unwilling to say no to all private insurers

Warren says she favors so-called "Medicare-for-all." But she's not sure yet how it would be best phased in. One idea she mentioned was gradually lowering the age Americans can qualify for the insurance benefit.

And she wouldn't say if such a plan would ultimately eliminate all private insurers in the country. "There could" be a role for private insurance offerings, she said.

3. She has policy stances on race-related disparities, from education to housing

"America was founded on principles of liberty and freedom and on the backs of slave labor," Warren said. "This is a stain on America, and we're not going to fix that, we're not going to change that, until we address it directly."

She said addressing it could involve some type of reparations to African Americans, though she declined to say if that would include direct payments from the U.S. government.

Warren said the government also needs to address the legacy of redlining — the denial of certain housing and services to African Americans — and one way to do that would be to offer housing assistance for people living in formerly-redlined neighborhoods.

4. She views climate change as an international crisis

"I believe in science," Warren said. "Climate change is real, it is man-made, and we're running out of runway to be able to fix this problem. We need all hands on deck with this one."

She advocated improving infrastructure to prepare for drastic weather and other climate change effects, as well as building more renewable energy sources. She also said the federal government needed to spend more money on climate change research and on developing clean vehicles.

"This is truly the crisis that faces, not just our nation, but the world," Warren said.

2020 Vision: Warren is first major candidate to call for impeachment as Mueller fallout continues

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., became the first major 2020 Democratic candidate to call for President Trump’s impeachment, breaking with the party’s leadership in the House of Representatives.

“The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty,” wrote Warren on Twitter late Friday afternoon. “That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer have both downplayed the idea of impeachment, with Hoyer calling it “not worthwhile” and Pelosi saying she wouldn’t move forward without a bipartisan consensus. Former Housing and Urban Development secretary and presidential hopeful Julián Castro said earlier Friday afternoon on CNN that it “would be perfectly reasonable to start [impeachment] proceedings.”

All the candidates running for the 2020 presidential nomination issued statements responding to special counsel Robert Mueller’s long-awaited report on the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia and President Trump’s repeated attempts to thwart the investigation. Most of them focused on Attorney General William Barr’s press conference 90 minutes before a redacted version of the report was released to the public.

“We can’t trust Trump’s handpicked AG to be transparent about the Mueller report,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., tweeted. “Congress needs to see it in full — and the public needs to know whether Trump obstructed justice.”

“The American people deserve the truth,” Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., wrote on Twitter. “Not spin from a Trump appointee.”

“Attorney General Barr has made it clear he is not impartial when it comes to this investigation,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., tweeted. “Now that we have the report, we should hear from Robert Mueller himself in public hearings. Our democracy demands it.”

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said that Barr “must resign.”

“You can represent the people OR you can represent the President,” Swalwell tweeted. “But you can’t do both.”

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg joined Swalwell in calling for Barr’s resignation.

“He’s put himself in this incredibly humiliating position,” Buttigieg told reporters in Londonderry, N.H., Friday, adding: “I think given the legitimate concerns whether as attorney general his true loyalty is to the president or the Constitution ... I would advise him to step aside.”

Elizabeth Warren Admits To Wearing Paleface At College Costume Party
February 6th, 2019



WASHINGTON, D.C.—Senator Elizabeth Warren is embroiled in controversy once again, this time after she admitted to wearing racially offensive "paleface" at a costume party back in her college days.

"As a proud Native American woman, I now realize that dressing as a white woman at that party all those years ago was insensitive and offensive," she said in a heartfelt apology video. "It was wrong of me to culturally appropriate white culture, as I am only 1023/1024th white European colonizer."

"I only hope that my constituents can forgive me for who I was back in my college days," she added.

Warren was also photographed with a friend dressed as a KKK member, but she refused to distance herself from that photograph, calling the KKK "an important part of the history of abortion rights in America, for which I have fought my whole career."

2020 Vision: Why Warren's honeymoon may be coming to an end
Andrew Romano and Dylan Stableford,Yahoo News • September 20, 2019

Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race. Reminder: There are 136 days until the Iowa caucuses and 410 days until the 2020 presidential election.

It’s an ironclad law of presidential primary politics: With increased success comes increased scrutiny. And it looks like Elizabeth Warren is about to get her turn in the hot seat.

After fumbling a Native American DNA test — a misstep that threatened to overshadow her nascent campaign — the Massachusetts senator went on to enjoy a months-long streak of positive press coverage. Her debate opponents mostly declined to attack her, choosing to target frontrunner former Vice President Joe Biden instead. As a result, Warren ticked up steadily in the polls, week after week; now she ranks second nationally in an average of recent polls, a bit ahead of fellow progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Yet there are signs the honeymoon may be ending. The first clue came during last week’s ABC News debate, during which Biden, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg all explicitly criticized Warren’s support for Medicare for All, claiming that it would cost too much, that it would raise taxes on the middle class, and that it would force people off their private insurance.

The more ominous development, however, is how Buttigieg in particular has decided to spend the week following the debate. Introducing his own health care proposal in a Thursday op-ed, Buttigieg took Warren and Sanders to task, by name, for wanting to “fli[p] a switch and kic[k] almost 160 million Americans off their private insurance, including 20 million seniors already choosing private plans within Medicare.”

Then he implied that Warren in particular was not being “honest and straightforward about the details” of how she would pay for her plan.



“Senator Warren is known for being straightforward and was extremely evasive when asked that question — and we have seen that repeatedly,” Buttigieg added Thursday in an interview with Jake Tapper. “People are used to Washington politicians not giving straight answers to simple questions. But at a time like this, on an issue this important, that’s exactly what we need.”

The “kicking people off private insurance” argument certainly has some purchase among Democratic primary voters, which is why Democrats running to Warren’s right keep pushing it. A recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, for instance, found that 55 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents prefer to vote for a candidate who intends to build on the Affordable Care Act, while only 40 percent prefer to vote for a candidate who wants to replace the ACA with Medicare for All.

But the most interesting part of Buttigieg’s critique is the part about Warren’s character. On several occasions, Warren has refused, unlike Sanders, to say that she would raise taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for Medicare for All, insisting only that overall health care costs would go down with the elimination of premiums, copayments and deductibles.

At this point, it’s clear that Warren is trying to avoid handing Republicans a general-election sound bite on tax increases. In other words, she’s acting like a politician. But that’s the thing: Warren has built her brand on being a nonpolitician — a middle-class fighter who came to Washington to make “big, structural change.”

Buttigieg’s strategy here is simple. To have any chance of winning the nomination, he needs to overperform in Iowa, the first caucus state. Warren is leading or tied with Biden in the most recent polls; Buttigieg is hovering around third place. Warren voters and Buttigieg voters tend to overlap; they’re mostly college-educated and white. If he can “attack her strength” — in this case, her reputation as a no-holds-barred truth teller — perhaps he can sow some doubts, surprise people on caucus day and propel his campaign forward.

“I think it’s puzzling that, when everybody knows the answer to that question of whether her plan and Senator Sanders’ plan will raise middle-class taxes is yes, why you wouldn’t just say so, and then explain why you think that’s the better way forward,” Buttigieg told Tapper.

The big question now is twofold: Will other candidates follow Buttigieg’s lead and start to scrutinize not just Warren’s plans but also her character? And if so, how will Warren handle the new pressure?

The Only one I like, not a kook, a moderate, telling it how it is not making crazy promises of free this and free that stuff is---

Senator Elizabeth Warren's net worth revealed as the 2020 Presidential Election heats up
AOL.COM EDITORS
Sep 24th 2019 11:11AM

The 2020 presidential race is well underway, and while some of the early hopefuls have dropped their bids, there are still a handful of Democratic contenders looking to land on the official ballot.

One of the more prominent candidates, Senator Elizabeth Warren, is putting a lot of effort behind her 2020 bid.

Warren, who is currently a U.S. Senator in Massachusetts, is regarded as one of the more liberal candidates in the current Democratic race. The senator has built her campaign on promising middle-class Americans to fight for their equality.

“Rich guys have been waging class warfare against hard-working people for decades ,” Warren said in her speech announcing her candidacy for president. “ I say it’s time to fight back!”

In February, the senator filed personal financial disclosures for her candidacy which were obtained by The Center for Public Integrity and later revealed on Twitter.

According to the documents, Warren amassed a majority of her wealth from bond and mutual funds -- as well as retirement accounts and book royalties. The politician and former lawyer, along with her husband, also have two real estate properties: a $3 million Victorian in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and an $800,000 condo in Washington, D.C.

Forbes reported the presidential hopeful is worth an estimated $12 million.

They're all self serving hypocrites ..I don't doubt they're all multi millionaires ...They want everyone equally poor but themselves and their inner circles ...She pretends to be a regular Robin Hood

I spent mosta my life on eastern Long Island (the Hamptons) and if it wasn't for the "rich guys" a lot of us woulda starved ...Huge old mansions along the ocean that were rarely even visited by the owners kept many of us working year round ..on the grounds or repairs and maintenance on the houses ...was never a problem getting paid and they never bothered us ..Why "fight back" against that?

But that was "old money" ..generations of accumulating wealth ...Now it's mostly tight ass pricks that are there the entire summer season and wanna know where every dime is going, yet they always want people there working to cater to their every whim ..mostly millionaires no doubt, but only there for their own prestige and to rub elbows with the wanna-be elite ..trashing what was once a beautiful, peaceful place and driving locals out who's families lived there for generations

If that's the people Warren wants to "fight back" against I'm all for it ..but I suspect those will be the ones to benefit if she gets in office ...people like herself ...She knows fukall about hard working people and doesn't give a shit ...She has an agenda just like the rest of'em ...more taxes, more regulations, more climate change bullshit, more social programs, more migrants, more SJW, feminist bullshit, more anti white bullshit

I certainly have nothing against women ..they're great ..but I wouldn't trust one at the helm of the most powerful, influential country on the planet ...they're too fuk'n erratic and emotional ...and Warren seems like she can be a real bitch when she gets a bug up her ass ..haa

She's a female Bernie Sanders. It would be a disaster if she would win the presidency, but unless Trump REALLY fucks up - like starting an all out war with Iran, he'd romp over her in a heartbeat.

Elizabeth Warren chased by Trump fans through Reno airport: 'Stop the impeachment!'
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Thursday, October 3, 2019

The Reno-Tahoe Airport apologized Wednesday after Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren was chased through the airport by a group of President Trump supporters.

Video posted on Facebook by the Nevada Republican Party showed protesters shouting “Go home!” and “Stop the impeachment!” as the Massachusetts senator tried to navigate her way out of the airport. The protesters followed Ms. Warren and her staffers all the way to their vehicle as the Massachusetts senator continued to smile and wave at them.

At the end of the video, a security officer rushed in and told the protesters to “break it up.”

“Authority apologizes to @ewarren for the group of protestors on 10/2 in violation of airport policies,” the airport tweeted in a statement late Wednesday. “Airport Police weren’t given prior notice of the arrival. Protestors didn’t follow the permit process & the airport’s attorney will be investigating the incident.”

Nevada GOP Chairman Michael J. McDonald released a statement defending the party’s actions, saying Republicans are not going to stand for Democrats trying to bring down the president.

“Nevadans, like Americans across the country, are livid at the Democrats’ despicable impeachment inquiry and let Elizabeth Warren know after she landed in Reno,” he said, a local NBC affiliate reported. “Instead of working on the problems families face, liberals like Senator Warren are fighting like mad to undo the 2016 election results and we aren’t going to stand for it.”

Ms. Warren was in the area for a town hall event Wednesday night in Carson City.

Elizabeth Warren axes top campaign aide for ‘inappropriate behavior’

One of the leading presidential candidates in the 2020 presidential race has parted ways with a top campaign aide.

After several complaints of “inappropriate behavior,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., fired her national organizing director, according to campaign spokesperson Kristen Orthman.

Orthman told Fox News the campaign hired outside counsel to investigate the allegations.

"Based on the results of the investigation, the campaign determined that his reported conduct was inconsistent with its values and that he could not be a part of the campaign moving forward," she said.

Rich McDaniel faced multiple accusations, and though the details were not immediately available, Politico reported they didn't involve reports of sexual assault.

"I would never intentionally engage in any behavior inconsistent with the campaign or my own values," McDaniel said in a statement to Politico afterward. "If others feel that I have, I understand it is important to listen even when you disagree. I wish the campaign and my colleagues well."

McDaniel previously worked with several Democratic campaigns and was Hillary Clinton’s primary-states regional director in 2016.
