In response to anger from the Left, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., on Wednesday defended her vote to advance Ben Carson’s nomination to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development, explaining on her Facebook page that Carson gave her “written promises” regarding the issues she cares about.

“Can we count on Dr. Carson to keep those promises? I don’t know. People are right to be skeptical; I am,” the Massachusetts senator wrote. “But a man who makes written promises gives us a toehold on accountability.”
