Hitting back at criticism from Joe Biden that many people said was sexist, Elizabeth Warren told supporters: “I am angry and I own it.”
Warren also sought to put the Biden controversy to good use: her response came in a fundraising email she sent to supporters on Friday.
“Over and over,” the email said, “we are told that women are not allowed to be angry. It makes us unattractive to powerful men who want us to be quiet.”
Biden may indeed want Warren to be quiet – in Democratic primary polling he has fallen behind her in Iowa and New Hampshire, although he maintains a national lead. But he insisted his attack on the Massachusetts senator was not sexist.
His initial remarks came in a Medium post entitled “I Have Fought for the Democratic Party My Whole Career”.
“The other day,” wrote Biden, “I was accused by one of my opponents of running in the wrong primary. Pretty amazing. On one level, it is kind of funny.
“… But at another level these kinds of attacks are a serious problem. They reflect an angry unyielding viewpoint that has crept into our politics. If someone doesn’t agree with you – it’s not just that you disagree – that person must be a coward or corrupt or a small thinker.
“Some call it the ‘my-way-or-the-highway’ approach to politics. But it’s worse than that. It’s condescending to the millions of Democrats who have a different view.”
Biden, the leading centrist in the primary field, did not mention Warren, the leading progressive, by name. But few had much difficulty working out the former vice-president’s target and on Friday, speaking to CNN, Biden owned up.

Isn't all that part of the 'nasty' women gig?
For once Elizabeth Warren is correct. I do want her to be quiet!
BS!!!!!!!!
Senile Joe Biden is not a ‘centrist’ - propaganda.
She started it.
Nanernanernaner!
These ppl act like children
Lizzie’s on the warpath again!
GO FOR IT! Not angry enough to get you there Flailing Arms Fraud. Lizzy Borden had more cred.
Lefty women are all angry. It’s a hallmark.
I never did it but I am tempted to start coming up to Dem "males" and confronting them:
What in the Hell are you thinking? Do you really want all men to be subject to Me Too criminal indictments and assumed guilty before being able to prove yourself innocent? Insulted by sexist dominant women like Hillary,AOC and Warren? Told your "toxic masculinity" makes your value zero and that any accomplishments of yours are undeserved and due to male sexist institutions?
I'll duck the first punch, get him in an arm lock and still expect some answers.
True. Part of why so many of the men foolish enough to marry them are trying to preserve some of their life's earnings in divorce court about 1 year later.
I was told by a person around 30 that the overall divorce rate in America is 50% but that the rate for younger people is roughly 75%. Never thought of that.
It couldn't stay that way for long. Old people die, and young people grow old, but they don't grow un-divorced.
No you fake azz Injun,the original angry was during our Revolution to destroy YOU and your ilk.
What a “progressive” way of putting it. Blech.
Warren has what I call, a Perma Scowl.
Well, she acts manic, but not as overly animated as Beto; you have to give her that
Oh Oh Chief Lying Bull sounds angry, maybe she will make it rain
The fake sexism complaint again. Fauxcahontas is sounding more like Shillary each day.
