Elizabeth Warren Tears Into Bloomberg Reporter Over Blaming Stimulus Stall On Dems

Media Bites 3/23/20 10:01am Read time: 1 minute

DUDE, you work for Bloomberg. Didn't your boss WARN YOU about messing with Professor Warren?
By David

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was confronted by Bloomberg host Jonathan Ferro on Monday over the stalled coronavirus relief legislation.

“In this bill, there are checks for everyday Americans,” Ferro told the senator. “The reason this bill hasn’t gone through is because of Democratic senators. Do you want to be the person that stopping people from getting their checks to meet their rent at the end of this month?”

“Excuse me,” Warren shot back. “The reason this bill has not gone through is because of Republicans senators and because of Republican leadership that pretended to negotiate for three days with the Democrats and then at the end of that time basically introduced their own bill.”

“We’ve laid out what our principles are,” she continued. “And that is you can’t give a half a billion dollars to giant industry and not help people at the grassroots.”

I think Elizabeth is on the "short" list. I'd like her to stay in the Senate where she gets things done, and have Kamela Harris as vp, but no matter what happens: Elizabeth is qualified to be POTUS, VPOTUS, Majority Leader, any number of Cabinet positions - I'd be happy to see here anywhere, she'd do the job well.

I'm sure they get kickbacks.
It doesn't take much intelligence to see what the GOP is doing here.
He knows.
He is being paid to enforce the GOP language.

That pos of Bloomberg hack was just reading talking points from the GOP and Warren kicked his lying ass.

There will be no corrupt GOP Bill.

She is rolling up her sleeves and doing her job, rather than just sitting in her home State.

More Democrats need to learn the art of rejecting the premise when it comes to loaded questions from nincompoop reporters.
