A cynical Elizabeth Warren asks that everyone stop focusing on her lie that Michael Brown was ‘murdered’

Elizabeth Warren believes it is beside the point that she lied last weekend when she said Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson “murdered” 18-year-old Michael Brown.

The Massachusetts senator and presidential candidate was pressed this week to respond to critics who have called her out for claiming falsely that a white police officer in 2014 “murdered” a black Ferguson, Missouri, man. “What matters is that a man was shot, an unarmed man, in the middle of the street, by police officers and left to die,” Warren responded Wednesday. “And I think that’s where our focus should be.”
