Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is a liar that can’t be trusted, according to her home state newspaper.
The Boston Herald issued an editorial in its Sunday edition titled “Warren’s fib on son’s private school part of a pattern” that exposes Warren’s duplicity in more ways than one, providing plenty of reasons why Democrat voters should look to other options.
The op-ed hones in on a blatant lie Warren told to a school choice activist in Atlanta last week, an exchange that was caught on video and posted online for all to see.
Sarah Carpenter asked Warren in Atlanta why she wants to eliminate all federal funding to for-profit charter schools when she sent her own children to private schools. Warren’s answer: “No, my children went to public schools.”
According to the Herald:
A lie. Her son Alex Warren attended private schools in both Austin, Texas, and Haverford, Pa., according to reports and an inconvenient yearbook photo of her son published over the weekend in The Federalist.
The New York Post reports her son Alex attended a private school in Texas while Warren taught at the University of Texas-Austin and another private school in Pennsylvania while teaching at the University of Pennsylvania.
It’s only the latest whopper from Warren to advance her career.
Earlier this year, she was forced to apologize and rescind her claims to Native American heritage when she was relentlessly mocked over a DNA test arranged by her campaign to prove her alleged ancestry. The test showed, despite claims of Cherokee and Delaware blood throughout her academic and political career, that the 70-year-old was no more Native American than the average white person in the U.S.
The Cherokee Nation blasted Warren over the DNA test stunt, which only emboldened President Trump and others who mocked “Pocahontas,” and Warren later called the tribes to apologize.
“Senator Warren has reached out to us and has apologized to the tribe,” Cherokee Nation’s Executive Director of Communications Julie Hubbard said in the statement to an Oklahoma TV station. “We are encouraged by this dialogue and understanding that being a Cherokee Nation tribal citizen is rooted in centuries of culture and laws not through DNA tests. We are encouraged by her action and hope that the slurs and mockery of tribal citizens and Indian history and heritage will now come to an end.”
The DNA test fiasco followed a 2018 Senate re-election campaign in which Warren promised her constituents she wouldn’t ditch them to run for president. Two months after they voted her in, Warren announced her exploratory committee for her 2020 presidential run.
Warren has been campaigning relentlessly ever since.
Herald columnist Adriana Cohen predicted “Elizabeth Warren will dump Massachusetts to serve her ambition” more than a month before the 2018 election.
Now she’s weighing in on Warren’s most recent lie in Atlanta.
“In her book ‘The Two-Income Trap’ Warren said she was for school choice. Now that she’s calling for a big government takeover of our lives with ‘Medicare for All,’ the Green New Deal and other wildly expensive socialist policies – she’s against it.
“Her flip-flopping on the issue will repel voters. But she’s counting on people not paying enough attention to notice, just like when she denied her son went to private schools,” Cohen wrote. “The trouble for Warren, though, is voters are much smarter than she thinks.”
