Courtesy of MSNBC:
“You know,” Warren said Friday, “there is a lot of talk lately about how Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect. There is a lot of talk coming from Citigroup about how Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect. So let me say this to anyone who is listening at Citi – I agree with you. Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect. It should have broken you into pieces.”
I cannot remember when the last time was that I wanted to stand up and cheer for a speech on the Senate floor, but I certainly did yesterday.
Elizabeth Warren has now thrown down the gauntlet for her fellow Democrats, and I really don't think they can ignore it.
And you can tell that Warren really frightens the Republicans by who is coming after her since this speech.
Courtesy of HuffPo:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), responding to Sen. Elizabeth's Warren (D-Mass.) criticism of the $1.1 trillion government spending bill's provision that allows banks to take more risk with taxpayer money, on Friday evening went after Warren and other Democrats who sided against the bill.
"If you follow the lead of the senator of Massachusetts and bring this bill down … people are not going to believe you are mature enough to run the place,” Graham said on the Senate floor. “Don’t follow her lead. She’s the problem."
"I'm sure on MSNBC you're going to be well thought of, and on the liberal version of talk radio you'll have your moment with that crowd," Graham said, chiding Warren and other Democrats who deplored what has been called a Wall Street giveaway.
"You're tired, you're frustrated, you're upset about a provision in the bill you don't like," he added of Warren.
Yeah way to talk down to somebody who is clearly your intellectual superior.
By the way as you may have noticed from the previous post Warren has at least one well known conservative figure essentially agreeing with her about the Cromnibus bill. Sarah Palin.
Gee I guess we can all look forward to an impassioned ghostwritten Facebook post in favor of Senator Warren. Right?
Right?
Not right?
