The biggest hypocrite: Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren

Published June 1, 2016 4:04am ET



Elizabeth Warren has emerged as an attack dog for the Democratic Party against Donald Trump. She has assailed the Republican presumptive nominee for a 2006 comment that he could profit off of the housing crash, calling him a “small, insecure money-grubber” and claiming he “doesn’t care who gets hurt, as long as he makes a profit.” But the woman who purports to be a fighter for the middle class has made a living off of foreclosure homes and has built her career on lies.

Warren attacked Trump for saying a decade ago, “If there is a bubble burst, as they call it, you can make a lot of money.” Despite her disingenuous political rhetoric, the notion of buying low and selling high is a business practice that has helped make Warren a very wealthy woman. In 2012, the Boston Herald reported that the one percenter, who is worth an estimated $8.75 million, “rapidly bought and sold homes herself, loaned money at high interest rates to relatives and purchased foreclosed properties at bargain prices.”
