Facing thousands of cheering supporters in the nation’s largest city, Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren on Monday decried President Donald Trump as “corruption in the flesh” and outlined her plans to root out corruption in the White House, Congress and courts.

“Corruption has put our planet at risk. Corruption has broken our economy. And corruption is breaking our democracy,” said Warren, a Massachusetts senator who has emerged as a leading presidential contender.

While aggressive, the message was a familiar one. Warren has embraced corruption as a central campaign theme from the beginning of her 2020 presidential bid. […]

“Giant corporations have bought off our government,” she said.

Specifically, her anti-corruption plan would “end lobbying as we know it” by instituting a lifetime ban on members of Congress and White House Cabinet secretaries from ever becoming lobbyists. At the same time, corporate lobbyists would be blocked from working for the federal government.

Both practices are common today.

She also would prohibit federal judges from avoiding misconduct investigations by leaving their posts, prevent courts from sealing settlements in public health and safety cases and ban class-action waivers for all cases involving employment, consumer protection, antitrust and civil rights.

And taking direct aim at issues involving the Trump administration, Warren would require candidates for public office to post their tax returns online. …

Let her start by posting hers.

Call me politically out of touch, but I don't think any of these proposals - which she would never implement - are going to bring out voters in droves for Lie-a-watha.

Further... thousands? Without pictures I dont believe it.

as a true Indian, Warren understands
the corruption of flesh.

why is she allowed to lie, lie, lie and
keep Indians from education?

answer: Harvard Law school
and all Law Schools that allowed her to LIE, LIE and LIE.

That. Is. Awesome.

I wonder what would happen, if a few people went in to a Warren rally with posters with that on it, and the caption "Warren for President - whatever it takes!"

[neverevergiveup]

This needs to be displayed as widely and conspicuously as possible. She's another Hillary - a modestly talented, highly motivated and ambitious, self-righteous narcissist, who would say and/or do whatever she thinks she needs to do in order to self-promote. In another context she would be a politburo member doing her best to climb the totalitarian ladder.

Project much Pocahontas, “Harvard’s first woman of color”?

[metmom]

So is lying, Warren.

[Unam Sanctam]

Corruption like pretending to be Native American Indian to obtain affirmative action benefits from Harvard?

[bobcat62]

A Massachusetts Democrat is going to root out corruption? Gimme a break.

[simpson96]

Liberal Projection.

That’s all it ever is.

[faucetman]

How can anyone seriously consider this woman for president?

She is always angry and SCREAMING. It’s like she’s always on the warpath.

And ALL this corruption just happened in the last 2 1/2 years? It’s all because of Trump? (who is NOT a politician, and has not been involved for years, even decades, in politics like so many of these name-callers and anti-Trumpers)
