These Democrat-on-Democrat attacks are really the most fun articles I get to write. In today’s edition, former Obama admin. official Jen Psaki tried to pull the rug from under Liz Warren by essentially saying, “you didn’t build that!”
And the progressive backlash was impressive.
Elizabeth Warren would be a beloved Harvard Law Professor not a presidential candidate if @barackobama and @JoeBiden had not worked with her to make her idea to form a consumer financial protection bureau law

Basically what she’s saying is that Warren should get out of Biden’s way since he essentially made her political career. I have no idea if that’s true or not, but I love the attack because it definitely has twinges of elitism and sexism.
And the Warren-lovers went on the attack:

Team Biden quickly showing us how and why Warren was scared silent last cycle. I’m glad she found her voice and gumption cause these folks are trash. https://t.co/cRHSCqkAjp

And you would have been a beloved what if not for those men? This is such a horrible erasure of a woman’s work. We have a long way to go in respecting and recognizing women. As candidates. As humans. https://t.co/wG086AOUJb
