Elizabeth Warren has secretly been embracing socialism for years, and now is finally admitting that is the path of the Democratic Party going forward.
Appearing with New York City mayoral candidate and prominent socialist Zohran Mamdani this week, the multi-millionaire Warren enthused over him and his far left extremist views, going where few other national Democrats have gone.
Asked whether Mamdani is what the Democratic Party should look like going forward, she answered enthusiastically: “You bet!”
“Clearly (Warren) has now admitted that this is the future of the Democratic party and it is socialism,” Massachusetts Republican Party chair Amy Carnevale told Fox News. “As a Republican leader, I say bring it on.”
Warren is one of the few national Democrats to campaign with Mamdani, as others even in New York like Sen. Chuck Schumer have stayed away from the favorite to be the next mayor.
But clearly she isn’t worried about the perception that she’s endorsing socialism. Warren is essentially a lame duck in what is likely her last term, and if she does run again, she’ll have an easy path in Massachusetts.
Warren’s presidential hopes have been completely dashed after her disastrous attempt in 2020, so she isn’t concerned about the national ramifications of her endorsement of Mamdani.
So Warren’s true colors are now coming out. She has long been contemptuous of corporations and billionaires and CEOs who make a lot of money, except when it’s her.
In 2019, she proposed the “Accountable Capitalism Act” that would require corporations with annual revenues of more than $1 billion to register with the federal government and get a charter to operate. The proposal was so radical and anti-business that during her campaign and after a private dinner with socialist Bernie Sanders, she had to deny she was a socialist.
“I am not,” Warren said. “And the centrists have to speak to whatever they are doing. What I can speak to is how I am doing…All I can tell you is what I believe. And that is there is an enormous amount to be gained from markets. That markets create opportunities.”
But she added, “Markets have to have rules. They have to have a cop on the beat.”
But Warren’s eager endorsement of Mamdani and his free child care, free groceries, anti-Israel, tax millionaires views has put those denials to rest. She is a socialist at heart.
Warren has to be kicking herself that she didn’t come out sooner as a socialist, because she clearly feels that is what Democrats should run on now.
But she is deluded into thinking that “affordability” in the cloak of socialism will put Democrats on the winning path. It will doom the Democrats’ hopes of ever returning to power.
