After Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s spectacular Super Tuesday collapse, the slow-motion derailment of the former front-runner’s campaign is complete. Now, the Massachusetts Democrat is finally dropping out.
So why did Warren’s campaign collapse despite her receiving such overwhelmingly favorable coverage from the liberal media?
No, it wasn’t sexism that killed her Democratic primary campaign. (Hillary Clinton says hi.) But Warren’s unending woke pandering certainly played a role. While it played well on left-wing Twitter and with liberal journalists, typical Democratic primary voters cringed when Warren promised to have a transgender child vet her education secretary and said her administration would feature affirmative action for “non-binary” people.
Yet likely also at the heart of Warren’s collapse was her rank dishonesty. Warren is undoubtedly one of, if not the single, most dishonest elected Democrats in the United States.
Her lies are almost too numerous to list, but I’m happy to give it a try:
- Warren lied to Massachusetts voters in 2018 when she said she wasn’t going to run for president if reelected to the Senate.
- Warren lied for years about having Native American heritage when no such heritage exists.
- Warren lied about her father being a janitor as a part of her sob story. Her brother told reporters this was not true.
- Warren lied about her children’s education, saying they only attended public schools when in fact, her son also attended a private school.
- Warren misled voters repeatedly on “Medicare for all,” dishonestly claiming she could provide free healthcare to all without raising taxes on the middle class. (Even Bernie Sanders admits that socialized healthcare means higher taxes.)
- Warren pulled a dishonest stunt smearing Sanders as a sexist, despite their decades-long friendship and her knowing all too well that he has always supported the idea of a female president.
These are just a handful of Warren’s most dishonest moments, but they paint a pretty good picture of the kind of politician she is. In the wake of her campaign’s end, liberal pundits will no doubt speculate about the supposed hurdles female candidates face. These may indeed exist, but it’s hardly credible to argue that sexism is rampant among the far-left Democratic primary electorate — the same one that chose Clinton as its nominee just a few years ago.
Honest observers should admit that one of the major things voters rejected about Warren was her persistent dishonesty. Warren looked especially inauthentic compared to Sanders, who, whatever you think of his radical beliefs, at least means everything he says.
