Elizabeth Warren Is Lying About Opposing Big Money Fundraisers

Elizabeth Warren loves to flaunt her progressive bona fides, continuously stating that her campaign will take no corporate or large donations and will instead fund her campaign from small dollar donations from supporters, just like her 2020 presidential rival, Bernie Sanders.

However, several articles and investigations have revealed that Warren’s supposed opposition to big money donors may not be entirely true. Back in October, the Washington Post reported that Warren will reject big money in the Democratic Primary contest only, and will welcome such donations should she become the Democratic nominee and have to take on Donald Trump in the 2020 general election.

Further reporting from Politico shows that while Warren herself will not interact with these donors, her campaign finance team will be doing so behind the scenes while Warren will continue rail against these very same people at debates and rallies.

A close ally of Elizabeth Warren, Paul Egerman, along with his finance co-chair Shanti Fry are the people who will ensure super wealthy donors that they can rely her to make sure that nothing will affect their class interests and ensure that she won’t rock the boat too much.

For the last few months Warren has been attempting to find a way to make herself appear as a more ‘serious’ candidate than Sanders, her progressive rival, while still hoping to lock in the votes of those who refuse to back a candidate who takes large campaign donations. Over the same time frame, Elizabeth Warren has been free falling from her supposed leading candidate status as she has fallen back into third in the RealClearPolitics polling average, behind Sanders and is in real danger of being caught by fourth placed Pete Buttigieg.

Media talking heads have stated that Buttigieg’s rise into a top tier candidate may be the reason for Warren’s decline in the polls, but there have been increasing criticisms coming from progressive voters who see this as one of the main reasons she’s losing votes, along with her equivocation on Medicare for All, beginning with the ridicule she endured for the funding of her healthcare proposal in which she would first have to pass immigration legislation, among other things. Warren has since stated she would not even introduce Medicare for All legislation for at least three years into her presidency, leading to suggestions that she is becoming less invested in fighting for Medicare for All and her plan is beginning to resemble a public option instead.
