Elizabeth Warren is a Socialist Whore
Elizabeth Warren is a Socialist Whore - According to Heckler, Elizabeth Warren was interrupted during a speech near Boston earlier in the week by a heckler calling her a "socialist whore."
Just as she was starting her speech, the man interjected and said he had been unemployed for more than a year and couldn't accept that Warren has come out in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement and rallies against corporate banks and income inequalities.
The crowd tried to silence the man, but Warren said it was okay and addressed him. She said she was sorry he was out of work, and reminded him that the jobs bill President Obama recently proposed would have brought 22,000 jobs to Massachusetts, but didn't pass in the Senate.
The man continued to make remarks about Warren's "foreign-born" boss, presumably President Obama, and more mentions of the Tea Party, which he seemed to be in favor of, until he walked out.
Warren, who seemed unfazed by the outburst and tried to talk calmly with the man, told the Huffington Post later that she felt sorry for him.
"I really genuinely did. He's been out of work now for a year and a half. And bless his heart, I mean, he thought somehow it would help to come here and yell names."
Warren, a longtime respected bankruptcy expert, law professor and policy maker in the nation's economic scene. She led the oversight of the 2008 U.S. banking bailout and chaired over the conception of the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Now, she is running for a Senate seat in Massachusetts to reclaim the Democratic seat that Republican Scott Brown surprisingly won in the usually blue state in 2010. Her popularity increased after a video of her went viral where she pressures those who have benefitted from capitalism to recognize the importance of continuing to give back to society.
