Elizabeth Warren's Indian Name Means 'Flat Foot'

Memo to Elizabeth Warren: Stop doing long live interviews.

You can’t handle them.

The latest example is Warren’s appearance Wednesday night on Special Report on Fox News Channel.

During a joint interview of Warren and U.S. Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia), host Bret Baier at one point noted that Warren opposes the recent Republican tax cut that President Donald Trump signed into law December 22. Among other things, it reduces the federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent.

Here’s the back-and-forth:

Baier: “… So if Democrats take control of Congress, would you repeal the tax law?”

Warren: “Well, what we have to do is change it. You’ve got to take out the parts that are giant giveaways to big corporations that right now the Republicans plan for hardworking families to eventually pay for. I think that’s just fundamentally wrong.”

Baier: “Sure. But you have companies, Senator, like Eversource in Massachusetts, the electricity company, announcing that they’re going to give a big break to consumers.”

Warren: “And good for them. I’m delighted to hear that.”

Baier: “So which ones do you take out of the list?”

Warren: “Look, it is a trillion and a half dollars that the Republicans gave away to billionaires and to giant corporations. And they expect hardworking families to just pick up the ticket on that. I want those breaks to go directly to hardworking families, not to a bunch of rich folks.”

It’s as if Warren didn’t understand Baier’s question, simple as it was.
