Yep, the DINO senators who voted to radically reduce oversight of some of the biggest and most corrupt financial institutions are blaming Elizabeth Warren for outing them. By name. I say, first outing, then ousting.
The money quote from this article?:
“If Warren’s colleagues didn’t want to be criticized as Wall Street-owned hacks, then they could choose not to vote for legislation that enriches Wall Street.”
There’s no doubt that Warren has touched a nerve:
In a report published late Thursday, The Hill confirmed this widespread anger among Democrats, who—according to one anonymous aide—find it “disappointing” that Warren would go after members of her own party for backing a bill that analysts say would make it easier for banks to “hide racial discrimination in mortgages,” significantly increase the risk of future taxpayer bailouts, and reward massive Wall Street firms like Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.
Still not a peep from the News Journal on this major national story, BTW. I know it’s a fool’s errand to try to embarrass the press into covering something, but failure to cover it is literally a journalistic cover-up.
Folks, Tom Carper and Chris Coons aren’t going to change. It’s up to us to replace them. Starting with Kerri Evelyn Harris.
