Warren Says GOP Attacks Must Not "Go Unanswered"

Here is Senator Elizabeth Warrens latest message to her supporters -- and to people everywhere who oppose the evil agenda of Trump and the Republicans.

The Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House. When our government isn’t working for working families, they have nobody to blame but themselves.

Except me, apparently.

According to the political pundits, I’m the new villain of choice for the Republican Party. Just two days ago, Senate Republicans launched another new round of ads attacking moderate Democrats for – I believe – standing anywhere within 100 feet of me. The NRA is using video footage of me at the Logan Airport Muslim ban protest to launch their new “Counter Resistance” today.

Look, I’m a big girl. My feelings won’t be hurt when Mitch McConnell tells me to shut up – or by a bunch of nasty ads that make me look like a zombie or the boogeyman or the Wicked Witch of Massachusetts.

I’ve got news for the Republicans and their slick TV ad consultants: their attacks aren’t going to work. And here’s why:

• I believe that the big banks need tougher rules and more accountability – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting for Wall Street reform, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• I believe that students should be able to get an education without getting crushed by debt – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting for debt-free college, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• I believe that nobody who works full time should live in poverty – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting to raise the minimum wage, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• I believe that after a lifetime of hard work, seniors should be able to retire with dignity – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting to protect and expand Social Security and Medicare, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• I believe in climate change – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting to protect our air and water, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• I believe in common sense gun reform – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting to keep our kids safe from military-style assault weapons, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• I believe that a woman has a right to make health care decisions over her own body and I support Planned Parenthood – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting for women’s health, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• I believe that millionaires and billionaires should pay at least the same tax rates as their secretaries – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting to stop the special breaks and loopholes, but our agenda is America’s agenda. 
• And I believe that powerful corporations and billionaires have too much influence over our politics – and so do the majority of Americans. You can call me a boogeyman for fighting for campaign finance and ethics reform, but our agenda is America’s agenda.

I truly believe that people in Massachusetts and across the country can see through the Republicans’ shameful mudslinging. But we won’t be able to let their attacks go completely unanswered for the next two years.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
